Hi I am a 35 year old mother of three all teenage kids and I'm married. I recently went to my dr because I couldn't sleep and was having a hard time trying sit down and study for my MA exam well she said I was depressed and prescribed ambien for sleep and vibryd for depression while on the vibryd I started having panic attacks she tried to lower the dosage which didn't work so finally I stopped taking the vibryd because I was scared. Well a week later I started having alot of withdrawals like nervousness crying headaches nausea stomach cramps i would have this really weird feeling in the bottom of my stomach like the feeling you get when you are on a roller coaster all the time which was awful and I also had something they call depersonalization where u don't feel like yourself I went to the dr countless times and even had a trip to the ER my doctor kept telling me the meds were out of my system and that I have underlying depression that needed to be taken care of with meds which I can't understand because I was fine before the antidepressant except for no sleep i also stopped taking the ambien because i wasnt sure where the withdrawals were coming from I am scared to take anymore meds I barely wanna take ibuprofen for a headache I am a lot better now except I have anxiety that won't go away and I don't know what to do my dr prescribed atavan but I'm scared to take it because of all the horror stories I've heard I am currently taking a mood solution from the vitamin shop which helps a little can anyone give me any advice...
