"i love this medication for the positive affects as far as helping my depression and such. i have been on it for over 10 years. i thought about getting off of it a few years ago and had horrible withdrawal symptoms. it is almost like electricity running through your head and face. if i miss two doses i am flat on my back sick. i can&#039;t keep my eyes open because of the visual disturbances. its like all of my senses are heightened and when i move my head it almost feels like everything kind of moves with a short shift. needless to say. i didn&#039;t get off of it. it is really strange. the withdrawal  symptoms lasted more than a week and didn&#039;t improve until i started taking it again."
