I have been off of Fetzima for a month and the sweating has continued. I have no quality of life?

What mg of Fetzima do you take? I take 120 mg of Fetzima and for 9 years..and although it does help with depression, I had a mixup last year 2022 where the pharmacy was suppose to refill my 120 mg and refilled it instead for 80 mg, and the bottles look almost identical and after 3 or 4 days of taking the 80 mg instead of 120 mg I started having sweating, crying spells, suicidal thoughts and ideations, nightmares, and involuntary muscle spasms in my legs and stomach, weight loss and other withdrawals. I am wanting to come off Fetzima and depression medication all together. Because it’s not a tablet you can’t cut it, since it’s a capsule it is filled with hundreds of tiny white balls. If I had known 9 years ago what side effects this medication does to your body I never would have started it!!

Hi Leizag. Not only is extreme sweating a side effect from Fetzima it is also a symptom from withdrawal or discontinuation syndrome. These drugs are poison (imo) and I will never take another one. I can't wait to be off it. How did you go off this medication? I have been tapering off at 10% every 10-14 days and I'm down from 60 mg to 20 mg. The extreme sweating is almost gone now; but I still need a fan on me at all times.
