SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome

I'll highlight what I'm experiencing...

Neurologic symptoms include:
Dizziness
Vertigo
Lightheadedness
Difficulty walking

Somatic (bodily) complaints include:
Nausea/vomiting
Fatigue
Headaches
Insomnia

Less common difficulties:
Shock-like sensations (These are my favorites. I wish I could accurately describe them.)
Parasthesia (skin crawling, burning or prickling)
Visual disturbances (Blurryness from time to time... not like pink elephants)
Diarrhea
Muscle pain
Chills

Non-specific mental symptoms:
Shock-like sensations
Agitation
Impaired concentration
Vivid dreams
Depersonalization - sense of unreality and loss of self
Irritability
Suicidal thoughts (No one panic, These are fleeting and my life insurance is void if I go out this way)
