    You absolutely must talk to your doctor before making decisions about withdrawing from an anti-depressants. Make an appointment first thing in the morning, your doctor may agree that its not the right medication for you and switch it with another or adjust your dosage.

    Just because one medicine didn't work for you does not mean that another one won't, we are all unique and our bodies work differently. Theres always hope.

    Good luck.
