SSRI's lower dopamine in the brain. This causes your receptors to increase, and adjust to the change. After you discontinue, your dopamine goes right up, but your receptors need time to decrease to the higher dopamine levels.

During this period of high dopamine levels
you may feel symptoms of psychosis. It should
not last longer than 2 weeks.
