As someone who spent 2 weeks in near hell, feeling like a monster because I decided to go cold turkey, I strongly advise you to check with your doctor over whether it would be appropriate in your case. I eventually went back on Citalopram as my doctor says I need to stay on for a while longer and it might help with my psychotherapy sessions as well.
the first few days of cold turkey were ok, I had these pleasant tingling sensations in my face and started to get my libido back. Unfortunately then all hell break loose and I became as irritable as I can remember. Imagine, I told myself while washing dishes that I would rather cut my finger off with a blunt instrument then wash dishes! That's not good and not normal.
if you're planning to come off, you probably need to wean yourself off slowly. Please check with your doctor

With 2 kids, I'd definitely recommend checking with a doctor before going cold turkey, it can play havoc with your brain
