Re: Withdrawal from Serafem (SSRI)

Hi -- thanks everyone for your responses. I had been on Serafem 20 mg for around 5 months before I stopped it last week. It was indeed prescribed for PMDD, although I am not sure that is/was my problem. I could have possibly been depressed with an increase in symptoms around my menstrual cycle. I do know that my premenstrual sytmptoms decreased drastically along with my sex drive. My agitation and anxiety did increase however. I have since gone to a psychologist who diagnosed me with generalized anxiety disorder and I am still not convinced.

I do know I feel tremendous right now without any tapering of the Serafem and I will keep an eye on side effects you mentioned. Plus some recent sunshine helps!
Thanks again, Lana Tweet
