Rebound effect???

Here I am again to let you know what happened so I called my therapist today because I was having this recurrent thoughts again and she told me to go to the dr to make sure it is not abstinence or rebound effect?? has somebody heard this before??? I quit my meds two months ago and I did go through withdrawal effects for two weeks but then i was fine until now...

but im not on medication anymore

A rebound effect is very common for people that wean off of an antidepressant. For some people it will last only a few weeks and for others longer. And for the lucky ones, no bothersome problems at all.

A slow wean is always the best as well as being ready to expect some withdrawal symptoms. This is a time when you need to be good to yourself and use all your tools in your arsenal to keep your emotions in check.

I am sorry to read you are going through a rough time.

I was on effexor for a year and 2 months, i was feeling perfectly fine and my dr and therapist said it was ok to stop them, as I didnt needed them anymore.  I was great until last week when I began experiencing symptoms but worse than the first time now I am not afraid of getting sick and I don't feel sweats or panic but I feel palpitations and hot flushes along with fear of hurting others.  I talked to my therapist and she said I have been under a lot of stress (which is true) full time student(last semester in college) and full time job along with recent move of house and sickness of husband..so yes I am under a lot of stress but I guess I want to be great like I was just a couple of weeks ago, without medication.
