Prew,

Best wishes with your discontinuation my friend! I am sorry to hear that you are getting the unpleasant zaps...but this is not unusual and will phase out soon.

Some fish oil supplements may help if you are not currently taking them.

Putting your coping skills to work, as well as posting with us as needed will help too, so keep us updated, and we'll keep you in support!

Peace and progress! 😊

S.C.

Hi Prew

I have been taking antidepressants since 2007.

Discontinuing a medication can be difficult so a very slow decrease in dosage is the best plan and keep in touch with your doctor.
