> Well, I definitely get all the "brain shivers" that people talk about, and dizziness when I move too quickly. I also get highly irritable and emotional, and tend to lash out at those around me. Additionally, I can feel my self-esteem decreasing. I start to feel inferior to everyone around me, and this makes me depressed as hell. The only good thing about withdrawal is that I do have somewhat of a sex drive. Oh, and I also feel sick to my stomach and physically weak, almost like I have the flu. But meds make me feel weak too, so I don't know...Anyway, that's about it. Sound familiar? P.S. The drug I've been on for the past 3-4 months is Cymbalta. Before that, it was Celexa.

Hmmm.What happened when you discontinued Celexa and why did you choose to do so? Did you crossover to Cymbalta immediately or stop one before starting the other?
