I have been off Cipralex completely for about 2 weeks now after not doing the weaning thing properly and I feel terrible = all of a sudden in the last 2 days i have had the most horrible itchy all over feeling - cant sleep coz i itch constantly and it feels as if my whole body from top to bottom is sunburnt! Does anyone know how long these symptom will last?
I am coming off cipralex and I am soooo itchy especially my hands and neck. Has anyone had this withdrawal symptom? If so what can be done about it. Hand cream doesnt help.
i went on cipralex august 2007, and i just went off them 9 days ago, i gained 55 pounds, i was sleeping all the time, didnt have much energy. they helped my panic attacks. now that im off of them im super dizzy ive lost 5 pounds in 9 days, i dont crave bad foods anymore, but i cry a lot, just wondering if it normal to feel so dizzy? and how long does it last for?
Extreme drowsiness, stomach cramps, lethargy. nausea, bloating, dry mouth, jaw clenching. The worst was that I felt like a zombie - there was no way I could function at home, let alone at work. In fact, I can barely remember what I did in those six days on the drug. I know that side effects normally subside and I know I didn't give it enough time but I would rather be alert and panicky. I personally think my doctor was too quick to prescribe the medication - I was in and out of his office in 7 minutes. My panic is sporadic, anywhere from once a day to once every two weeks. I don't think that it warrants a drug like Cipralex.
If you do not mind me asking. What are the side effects you are having?
Usually the side effects continue for 2 weeks then settle. It might be a good idea
to tell you doctor you want to come of of them. I do know with my doctor he
said to plod on an keep taking them...
hi, i dont think it will have withdrawal symptoms over such a short period, but all the same, please do check with your doc.
