Was on 75mg and stopped a month ago. Dr increased to 100mg yesterday and I feel like crap, shaky dizzy pukey... barely slept. Didn't react like that before when I started. Is it from this? It started about 2 hours after I took it last night.

Even this morning I feel foggy and just weird inside. Should I stop?

    I don't understand, how did you stop taking them last time, did you taper slowly over a few months as recommended and why are you so quickly back on them and at a higher dose?

    this is creating chaos for your nervous system. 

    It seems you are having terrible withdrawals mixed with side effects from starting them again.

    i would rethink you're treatment as it doesn't sound like these drugs suit you at all, they don't agree with everybody and you're symptoms seem extreme 

    Withdrawal symptoms can come on weeks and months after stopping them if you have come off too quickly, it seems most doctors Do not give good advice and advise a too rapid reduction causing damage to the nervous system that can be long lasting.

    I've been on them for two years which is far too long and I'm in the process of coming off them, so far I'm down to 12.5 mg with no withdrawals but to achieve this it's taken 4 months of slow tapering to get this far.
