Ah yes. The depression. I wish I could tell you that subsides rather quickly, but it does seem to take a bit longer for that. :(. For me, it took 60 days before I felt happy feelings again, but by 90 days I had hardly any depression at all. Every single day it does get a little brighter, so just hang in there.

Congrats on 2 weeks! You've passed the physical hurdles in regards to w/d's. The actual recovery is a lifelong process. (for me, at least). But with everyday, as you gain strength, confidence, and RESPECT..(the biggie)...it really does feel great.

Good luck in the future. All the best :)

Thanks for the feed back.  It is truly amazing how little the Dr's know when they prescribe this drug.  I appreciate you and IBKlean getting back to me.  It has now been two weeks and I am doing better but fighting depression.  Thanks

The hard withdrawal symptoms are usually 4-5 days. Well, at least mine are. But overall, I think it differs person to person, maybe. Not too sure. For me, it takes about a good 10 days to feel like I am not jumping out of my skin anymore, and the physical pain subsides.
