ABout two weeks later I had a follow appointment w/ my psychiatrist. I mentined it to him in passing -his eyes perched up and he asked is I had missed a dose. I said...yes...so.

That\'s when he told me what was happening (after the fact). Bastard. If he had told me from the get go to never miss a dose and also that it has withdrawls associated with it, I WOULD HAVE NEVER TAKED IT TO BEGIN with. I called him that night and told him I wanted off and asked him why he never told me about the reprecussions. He hung up on me.

So I tried to wee off it on my own. Constant brain zaps. Horrible. Horrible expereince. Finally, I said screw it and went cold turkey. It\'s been a month and while the brain zaps are less severe, they are still there and they interefere with my daily work. Notable is that I am now balding at an incredibly rapid rate, which seems to be a result of the brain zaps. My hair is very thin now and I used to have a full head of hair. It gets really week on days that I get a lot of zaps. I am more depressed now than I ever have been before thanks to a doctor that failed to communicate the facts to me.

Has anyone had a similar expereince.
