No you shouldn't stop taking it. Call your doctor; there should be someone on call. Tell them your story and tell them to call you in a few pills to carry you over until Wednesday when your regular doctor can call them in.

They don't have an attending dcotor on call? An ansewring service that can page a doctor?
I would go to the local hospital then and tell them what is going on.
It is not good to just stop taking these medications.
In my state in is the law to have an attending doctor on call. don't know about your state.

Tapering off, weaning is better than quitting cold turkey. You are having withdrawals now, abrupt cessation can cause rebound panic. You do need to contact the doctor on call to call in enough medication to get you through until your own doctor can refill your normal prescription, if you seriously feel, you can do without a med, you AND your doctor need to devise a weaning plan.

Today is day 5 I havent taken my meds. I feel <bad> .My head is still fuzzy and cloudy feelin. Im think about just not takin any SSRI anymore. I think I can do without. I know quitting cold turkey isnt good but its already been 5 days i can probably stick it out until everything wears off.
