>Your hypothesis is interesting. but your description of withdrawl is really typical of opiate withdrawl. Chills, shakes, these are the things I got freaked out about when I ended my Vicodin therapy for my hand pain. My first instinct was to not take another single pill.
I understand you find parallels between your SSRI withdrawl and your Ultram withdrawl. But, um, introspection was invalidated as a legitimate means of understanding the brain, and its creator continues to be mocked to this day in psych books. So be weary of that, and remember these are things to be concerned about, even if you feel comfortable about the other drugs that you're comparing this to.
