Some people have told me that it is a very bad idea to go cold turkey on it but I have not felt any major side effects and was wondering if I should really be worried about stopping it.

I came off anti-depressants very suddenly about 8 years ago having been on them for two or three years. It's not something I would ever want to do again to be honest. Long story short: I went mental. It wasn't as much fun as that might sound. It was particularly hard for those around me.

I would advise that, even if you are feeling fine, you go and have a chat with your doctor. Obviously, if your here asking us about it, it's something you are worried about even if it's only a little bit. So speak to the doc and put your mind at rest. I'm sure you will be fine but why not make sure?
