Was currently on 10 mg Cipralex, for 1 year. Definitely a good drug to control anxiety, but WARNING! Coming off this drug is horrific. I was told by my doctor to cut down my medication to 5mg everyday for 2 weeks, followed by 5 mg every other day for 2 weeks, then finally, (currently what I am doing) 5 mg every 3 days for 2 weeks. During this time I have experienced the WORST shock you could imagine, almost constantly, slight headaches, and extreme fatigue to the point where I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. I feel agitated and grumpy most of the time. Honestly, I feel like a drug addict waiting and wishing the 3rd day would arrive so I could get my "next fix." This is ridiculous. As soon as I take the pill, I feel calm and all of the symptoms I mentioned above disappear right away. I wish I looked into the with-drawl symptoms of this medication a little better before I started taking it, cause the way I feel now is very unpleasant! If anyone else feels like this please let me know, as it would be nice to know I am not alone in this cipralex nightmare!
