Hello, Clara! How are you?

Stopping it cold turkey might cause rebound effects, such as severe depression, lethargy and suicidal thought, so please be careful.

There are other alternatives you can take that usually don't cause weight gain, such as Prozac, so you may want to speak to your doctor about trying it.

Is there anything else I can help with?
