that's shocking that you were forced into cold turkey. Everything your feeling will pass but it may take another week or so. Your doctor should be ashamed of themselves.
Have you got anything you can take to get you through this period? Eg diazepam or similar? I was forced to stop abruptly at one point and after 3 days I felt dreadful. Over that period i did enough crying for a lifetime!
so sorry you are going through this, try and go with eg. Rest, cry and remember this will pass.
god bless ♥

I'm sure you look great even with a puffy face! I think you have been treated harshly by your gp. I hope you will start feeling better over the next few days. Please let us know how you get on ♥
God bless x

you should never stop a medication completely without gradually going down in doses
hope it all gets sorted for you
