Antidepressant withdrawal?

[Tocldja]

Okay so if you read my last question, I was complaining about stomach pains, cramping feelings and leg pain.... Could this have something to do with me not taking my medicine for a few days? (More like three weeks) ... My pains are like cramps or it feels like I need to go to the bathroom. Any words are greatly appreciated!!!!

I'm current taking Zoloft for anxiety... Sometimes in the morning I. Would forget to take it and then I just thought I didn't need it anymore, so I stopped taking in entirely for about four days and the. I started again but  only for like two days and stopped then started then stopped again... My symptoms of abdominal pain have been going in since thanksgiving. It seems to be the worst after I eat. And then I have panic attacks because I think my kidneys are failing or I have appendicitis and what not. I think it's antidepressant withdrawal because of my messy dosage pattern.

What medication?  Did you stop abruptly or taper off?  Did the symptoms start only after you stopped and is this something you never had before?

Yes it is definitely the reason you should never stop an antidepressant by yourself cause you only will make the problem bigger see your doctor again and what concerns bloating and depression believe me depression can affect the digestive system alot and I suffer the same problem bloating,cramps and ehatever I eat hurts my stomach and intestine....Try to relax and drink relaxing teas before going to bed....Don't drink coffee or tea or even sodas. Depression not only makes your stomach feel uncomfortable but your whole body gets weak.
