All of the SSRI class of drugs, which includes most of the popular anti-depressants (Prozac, Paxil, Effexor, etc) come with some nasty discontinuation symptoms. Some of the really nasty ones can actually cause long-term damage to the nervous system if you try to go cold turkey from a higher dose.

Anyone that's undergoing treatment with psychological medications should always consult their doctor before stopping treatment, and you should never go off them cold turkey if you've been on them long enough to reach theraputic levels, unless you're in the middle of an allergic reaction and the consequences of discontinuation is the lesser evil (and if that's happening, you should definately be calling your doctor, if not heading to the hospital).
