All I can say is for about six or seven weeks it has been VERY interesting to me. I may not understand all the Latin and medical jargon but I sure as hell know what I am feeling! (And no, I am not a DUmmie in disguise either lol!)
If you think you're still having withdrawal symptoms that bother you, you may want to ask your doc to use Prozac, its generic name is fluoxetine, to relieve the symptoms, and then start a tapering schedule to get weaned off it. Fluoxetine has the longest halflife of all the SSRIs, i.e. it takes longer for your body to eliminate it, so it's the preferred SSRI for weaning.
My father was bipolar back in the late sixties and early seventies when all of this was just coming into play--the use of chemicals in the psych industry. He was a guinea pig at every turn and this really turned me away from the use of chemical therapy watching and living with all of this from the ripe age of zero. However he attended weekly or regular sessions with a psychiatrist through out his life to regulate his medications/emotional/mental state as well as was hospitalized whenever his medication needed to be shifted. It is a bit different the use of just straight SSRIs versus the other meds for bipolar, yet it is all the same in the chemical craziness and seriousness of their use.
Seems the industry does not take them as seriously as they used to. As was mentioned now they are like candy.
