Did you speak with your doctor before stopping the medication?  You always want to work closely with your doctor where these types of meds are concerned.  We all react differently to these medications and what one experiences, another may not, it's trial and error as to what will work best for you.  Your doctor obviously feels you need medication so speak with him about this and maybe trying another one.  Always ask your doctor what to expect on a new medication so that you're are prepared.  Sometimes it's just our bodies adjusting to the meds, other times they just aren't the right ones for us. Don't give up, there is one that will do the job for you.  Take care.

Have you talked to your prescribing doctor about this?  For me, taking medications like Celexa, it actually increased my anxiety and side efects for a couple of weeks. It was probably a combination of my fears of taking the med for the first time and my body adjusting to it.  Were you apprehensive about taking it in the first place?
