I decided to quit them cold turkey which was a big mistake. I had kinds of electrical shocks in my head and sudden vertigo but I managed through it. I swore from then on to never take another medication like that again.

You should have slowly weaned off it. I'm weaning off Cipralex right now, I'm also on Wellbutrin and I don't know if it's doing anything but I did read a theory that being on Wellbutrin (an NDRI) or a stimulant while weaning off an SSRI will reduce the withdrawal symptoms.
