Yes... call your doctor !!!

SOME antidepressants require being weaned off... like you are not supposed to just stop cold turkey. Call your doc just to be on the safe side, ok? Please?

Get back on them this instant young lady! What were you on? I can't remember. I've withdrawn cold turkey before and it's never been pleasant, if you want to come off them wean properly, e.g. if you were on 20 OD take 10 BD for a week, then 10 OD for a week, etc. Come and talk to me hun xxx

Agree with all of the above!! Putting yourself through unnecessary discomfort to come off them so abruptly xx

I just did cold-ish turkey (quick wean)..., it was TERRIBLE, what an idiot to put myself through more stress, it was like self harming now I think of it....

Get back on and go to see your doctor, talk about how you feel... You will only mess yourself up, tempting as it is. Hx

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
