What are you on? I think it's either zoloft or effexor and both are known for withdrawal. That being said, just because a medication is known for causing withdrawal doesn't necessarily mean you will experience. I've had little to no withdrawals when I have had to wean off medications and I have been on some long term that are known for withdrawals. I might have gotten lucky but I know a number of others who have experienced that same thing.
It might be best to discuss with your APRN when you should start weaning. You are going to be going back to school soon and I know a few people who had such severe symptoms that they couldn't get to work...so you might want to see if you could wean at a time when you aren't going to be super busy and can afford to be sick and miss a few classes etc.
