Started to feel anxious and depressed 14 days after cold turkeying "strattera".. is this normal and likely to get better? i feel helpless/horrible :(

Cold turkey: Quitting any medication cold turkey without consulting a physician is NOT a good idea, and can result in serious symptoms and even death. Tapering off meds is the best way to go, with close medical supervision. Call your prescriber RIGHT NOW and get immediate input. If you are feeling unsafe, report to you local Emergency Room. If this is the case, turn of your computer RIGHT NOW and get help.
