This is a great video. I get bad brain zaps, tinnitus, dizziness and severe confusion which has put me off tapering for a long time. This has caused me more anxiety actually. I do think before prescribing anti depressants the patient should be made well aware off the possible withdrawal effects and dangers! Currently along side my tapering plan I'm using prescribed 'alternative' medication to help cope with the anxiety and symptoms of withdrawal which for me personally has worked well so far
Good video I've just stopped talking my certalipam 30mg a day for last 3 years I haven't taken any for 4days and I feel fine to b honest only thing i been experiencing is like mussel spasms and twitching I was expecting to b alot wors than this but like u said not everyone suffers with withdrawal symptoms
Well good you are aware to look out for withdrawal symptoms and do seek help if you’re unsure. Sometimes we have to put people back on and then titrate down. Fingers crossed you’re one of the lucky ones!
Hello there, I've been on aropax since 1997 ( I'm now 46 ) I ended up on 3 a day, ( 60mg ) After many attempts I'm finally down to 10mg, half a pill. The brain zaps have passed but all the other side effects are there, the worst is sleep and intense vivid and uncomfortable dreaming. I wake up exhausted. But I'm hanging in there as I'm determined to be completely free of this crap.
"We don't quite know why people get withdrawal symptoms" - well then, don't prescribe these poisons if you don't know how or why they work or don't work.
I am reposting my reply to your other comment: There’s lots of treatments which we aren’t quite sure why we work, including general anaesthesia, so it’s not ridiculous. The art of science means it is always learning, changing and evolving, so medicine adapts as we understand more.
Not quite sure how they work?? How is that even allowed? Tell you what: as soon as you find out the "how they work" and the "why they work" I'll not be taking any, thank you. Ridiculous, this should be illegal.

This is excellent and thorough advice! In my experience with sertraline I would say this is 100% accurate guidance.
Thank you!

Thanks. Yes, I made this video as I don’t think many patients are aware of the possible withdrawal effects, so I’m really glad you found it helpful.
Thanks much, I’m going through withdrawals
Sorry to hear that, hope the info here is helpful
Thank you
