if you are taking the drug at the same time each day it probably isn't withdrawal. How long have you been taking it? It takes a while for its antidepressant mechanism to kick in. It can take up to a month to work. Perhaps all the negative emotions that have been bottle up from numbness are being released? Is this dysphoria preferable over feeling dead inside?
