Ssri discontinuation.if i've been taking ssris (escitalopram) for a week and decide to stop due to side effects, how long will i likely experience the withdrawal side effects? the ssri was giving me way to many violent thoughts, extreme fatigue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stopping a SSRI after one week use should not cause any withdrawal side effect. Good luck.
