I was on zoloft 50mg for about 7 days and had some really bad side effects, then went down to .25 for 3 days before getting switched to Lexapro. I then took lexapro 10mg for 10 days with the same bad side effects. I took .5 of lexapro for 2 days then was switched to celexa 20mg. I was on that for 3 days before I decided to stop cold turkey. The side effects are just too uncomfortable. Today is my second day without any ssri's and I'm feeling pretty light headed and strange. Is it possible to be having withdrawal under these circumstances?

Yes, you are used to being on those types of meds, and stopping can produce weird feelings. I blame my mental hospital visit on the fact that I stopped taking lexapro. You shouldn't play with your meds by yourself. It's a recipe for disaster.
