Dear doctor and fellow forum users,
Since January 2009 I have come completely off various SSRI's to deal with my OCD and depression. Since 2005 I have been taking the following medications: Fluoxetine, Seroquel, Benzapine, Zoloft & Geoden among others. As stated since January 2009 I have come off the SSRI's and have experienced some extremely horrid and disgusting withdrawal affects as well as side affects during the period I took them. To this day I still experience extreme body pains all over, hunger, agitation, irritability, worse OCD symptoms, constant thoughts and talking in my head and weird feelings in my hand palms and in the bottom of my feet when I sweat or a specific type of soap etc touches it!! I came off of the SSRI's in the first place due to worse and similar symptoms I experience now. It has been 6 months and counting and their is NO CHANGE!
My questions to you are:
1 Does the withdrawal phase TAKE THIS LONG????
2 What can i do if these are withdrawal symptoms; to ease the symptoms or end it completely????
3 If it isnt Withdrawal symptoms WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME AND WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT [I AM GOING INSANE!!]
PLZ PLZ HELP ME!!!!!!!
