it's not hypoglycemia, it is withdrawal symptoms from coming off of the drug. I have the same symptoms...anxiety, irritability, exhaustion, dizziness, "weird" feeling in my head, (like "zaps") I have come off of citalopram (Celexa) the same safe way. Hopefully the symptoms will disappear in a week or two.

It is also possible that it is your time of the month. Every woman experiences crying spells sometime around her period and feels irritable and doesn't understand why!!!

Monitor how you feel around your time of the month and see what mood you are in around that time. Could it be possible that it's your time of the month making you feel this way?

It should only last around three days to a week, if it continues for a month then go back to your doctor!

Also exhaustion causes you to feel sad and irritable so try to get enough rest after long days of work even if your soul is telling you to work allow your body to rest.

Eat healthy:)

Get good exercise and avoid people who are bad and mean be around nice people who cheer you up.
