SSRI (placida) doesn't have withdrawal symptoms compared to other medicines. They can have discontinuation symptoms (not the same as withdrawal symptoms) but for that you need to take them for years. Actually SSRI takes 2 weeks to start showing response. You don't have withdrawal symptoms. Nausea can be secondary to the placida side effect which is common. Weakness & fatigue can be a symptom of depression or due to other reasons like decreased thyroid etc.

Mostly not. But in some cases can be..If you feel like that; it will be better if you continue taking placida and taper of it slowly rather than stopping suddenly. Start taking it once a day and then gradually taper it off.

Hello,, there are many possibilities.
Reasons -
1st- Usually in 2 weeks there is minimal chances of having dependence on Placida like medicines. So I don't think these are withdrawal symptoms.
2- withdrawals of placida like medicine occurs usually after 24 hrs after the stoppage of the drug, not after the 5 days.
3- Possibly these are the relapse of ongoing illness for which you have taken Placida.
- well consult any nearby psychiatrist for the proper treatment of your ongoing mental health issues.
