How long did it take you after weaning off SSRI's before you felt ok again? I've come off Escitalopram after weaning off slowly over a period of weeks and OMG what a shock! I'm starting to have good days now, but I'm still very easily overwhelmed. I didn't expect this, it's been so hard. I wasn't even depressed or anxious before going on them, I went on them for PMS.
