Is it possible to get withdrawal/discontinuation symptoms just from missing one day? I feel awful 😓

@CalmCoral Yes, according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists leaflet, Stopping antidepressants:

"Withdrawal symptoms normally start soon after your medication is reduced or stopped. This may be one or two days for some antidepressants – or even after missing a single dose"

Explains a lot 😂 thanks. I kind of wish I'd taken it now, rather than refuse.

It can always be a wilder ride. Usually doctors will have you carefully taper down under their instructions. @CalmCoral
