"so not worth it. i had all kinds of bad effects on the drug but i am here to warn you about stopping it. my doctor told me to stop it cold turkey. i figured since it was a selective ssri i didn&#039;t have to taper. i have spent the next six weeks with profound problems with my heart rhythm.  which my doctor thinks is unrelated. after 5 + weeks things seem to be calming a bit.  but not after all kinds of tests and a halter monitor and of course... that looks like your crazy.  i know it was this drug. the only time i ever had them before was after discontinuing celexa without tapering. (when it was first introduced and they didn&#039;t know better).  i don&#039;t have palpitations normally.  there is no good information on this drug. you are just winging it"
