Now I am on Prozac, and sometimes I forget to take it or don't have enough money to get a refill right away. When I stop it even for a day or two, I feel like I'm being punched from the inside, and every heartbeat is like a little electric shock. I cry all the time and don't want to do anything.
I used to be on Celexa. Stopping that didn't affect me until 3 or 4 days of no meds. Then I got a cough and stress incontinence, also cried all the time and snapped at the kids for no reason. I would also get muscle knots in my back and neck.
I don't know how much of that was from stopping the meds, but I know that (1) these symptoms would appear every time, no exception, that I stopped and (2) those times were the only times these symptoms would appear, so it seems to be related.
