Hi:
Your following description below:
>>>> Now, this is my problem. I am feeling very agitated. I can't stop being angry. I hate it. I am very moody. I can't sit still. I want to cry b/c I can't handle these symptoms. <<<<<In my personal opinion combined with my firsthand experience, it sounds a lot more like your depression started to come back a big time. Sometimes, it could happen worse than before,... some saying, but in this regard, I am NOT quite sure.
In my case, I didn't quit WB completely, however experimented from 300 mg. to 100 mg. After a couple of days, my depression is so bad that I needed to get WB back as original dosage (200 mg. and then 300 mg.) as before.
Also, withdrawal symptoms is, in my knowledge, different from depressive episodes, ... from the reading. For this, you need to check it out by using 'search engine' by typing something like 'WB withdrawal symptoms,' because there are a lot of explanations to look at.
Without the pdoc.'s approval/talking, it must be quite risky to stop WB completely. This is NOT only your pdoc. but all of pdocs. in their professional views.
