Hi,
It is important to understand that withdrawal symptoms from antidepressants like stalopam can vary from person to person. What you are experiencing is likely due to the discontinuation of the medication and not necessarily a sign of a serious underlying condition like cancer or a tumor.
It is not uncommon to experience physical symptoms such as itching, pain, and numbness when stopping antidepressants, especially if you have been taking them for a long time. These symptoms are typically temporary and should improve as your body adjusts to being off the medication.
However, it is always important to discuss any new or concerning symptoms with your doctor to rule out any potential underlying issues. They can provide guidance on how to manage the withdrawal symptoms and determine if any further evaluation or treatment is needed. In the meantime, try to practice relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and self-care to help manage your anxiety and physical symptoms.
