A member asked:
I have been on antidepressant cipralex for 10 years and unfortunately quit abruptly. now i have vertigo. what can i do and when will it go away?

Go back to your: prescribing physician right away. Quitting antidepressants abruptly, especially with your use history, is NOT advised. Symptoms such as yours are common when using a handful of SSRI's. Some are less prone to produce this problem. Why did you suddenly stop? Why have you taken the meds so long? Have you tried other meds? Talk to your doc.
