> the symptoms first started appearing after i came off remeron. i know this is just like total uneducated speculation but like my pdoc doesnt make me wean off stuff - i was at a low dose (15mg) for about a month but he just made me stop abruptly. same with the prozac now. could it be like just trying stuff for short bursts (i.e. month or two) and then ceasing be messing with my seretonin levels and giving me a fuzzy feeling? sorry if theres no pharmacological logic behind that lol . i guess i should try lexapro and give it a decent shot to try and stabilize, or have a total clear out and just go clean for a while. i guess its moments like these that make me worrya bout the accumulative effect putting all these pills into me might be having ...Definitely stopping meds cold turkey will mess you up. Even if you were only on them a week, not to mention a month or more. I guess it probably varies from person to person, but for me I have noticed that after stopping a med even after weaning off it carefully, it really takes a solid 3 weeks to 3 months to stabilize at some new baseline. But that baseline is never the same as the one before taking the drugs. The drugs, in my opinion, do change the game, even long after they are gone.
