That is possible, depending on how long you were taking it and how rapid the taper was, it might have been too fast for you. In many cases, stopping such a medication needs to be tapered very slowly, and occasionally, it must be adjusted according to how each individual reacts to the taper.

The NIH also warns that stopping the medication could cause rebound depression, anxiety, and diarrhea.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?

Why did they have you stop the medication?
