Clinical Features in SSRI Discontinuation Syndrome

• problems with balance (dizziness, ataxia, vertigo) and coordination?

• sensory disturbances (paresthesias, numbness, electric shock-like sensations)?

• aggressive behavior?

• impulsive behavior?

• flu-like symptoms (fatigue, myalgia, chills)?

• anxiety or agitation?

• tremor?

• confusion, slowed thinking and memory problems?

• irritability?

• gastrointestinal symptoms, such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea?

• headache?

• insomnia and/or vivid dreams?

• sweating?

• lethargy?

Is there another, more plausible explanation for the symptoms?

Has readministration of the SSRI caused the symptoms to stop?
