You won't have any serious withdrawals like if you had been taking it for weeks or months, but you will most likely have some discomfort. It will probably begin in a day and be over in 4 days. If you didn't like the ssri, you will probably feel some relief and some discomfort all mixed together.

I always felt relief at getting off the med. Usually after around a week. Love Phillipa
