Answers:
NEVER quit anti-depressants cold turkey!. That is THE worst thing you can do!. There are major withdrawal symptoms!. You need to talk to your doctor!. My doctor put me on step-down schedule of Prozac to get me off Paxil!.

You obviously need the medications for depression, but you should speak with your doctor about switching to another medication!. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get the right medicine for you!. Just because they prescribed Paxil or Wellbutrin doesn't mean it's the drug for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

See your doc asap, you can not stop that stuff cold turkey!. There are lots of newer meds that may not increase your appettie!. I am on cymbalta and lamictal and it's a good combo for me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
