Weaning off serdep 100
I have been cutting down on my serdep 100 under doctors recommendations. For past month I've been on 3/4 and started today on 1/2. This will continue for a month then I will cut back to a 1/4 for a month then stop. I have been feeling so sick. Headaches, nausea, vomiting, night sweating, dizziness. Unable to function normally. Is this normal?

Serdep is a class of antidepressants called SSRIs. At times while a patient is receiving SSRIs and the dosage is being reduced one might experience SSRI withdrawal symptoms which are often flu like. The solution can be more gradual tapering of the medicines or switching to a long acting SSRI
