Had loads of side effects starting seroxat, but was fine coming off them in controlled manner.
Second time I was on them I came off cold turkey which was a mistake in hindsight. The tiny electric shocks like eating space dust but in my brain was the worst bit.

I had to come off 30mg cold turkey (was given for depression mood switched to mania) it wasn't that bad tbh.

I came down from 20 to 5 with absolutely no side effects at all. The only reason I didn't come right off, was because I felt crap and had to up the dose again.Sad.

Try and get liquid much easier to decrease dose gradually and minimise withdrawal symptoms.
