I agree with masso.
I'd add: shakes, feelings of despair, worrying if you'll be okay. It's not a good feeling at all.
You MUST not discontinue use abruptly at all costs if you've been on this medication for some time. You must titrate very slowly, and preferably under supervision of a health care professional.
