The mnemonic FINISH neatly summarizes the symptoms of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome

I read everything about the disorder
          online these case study demons hatch
                    a titration plot the withdrawal triggered
                              nausea uneasy tilts at confessions

right that’s me gumming at the cavern
          termagant plaiting fennel and blister
                    skin for the taste–I told you two weeks
                              too late you’re liable for the migraine peeling

the pith under the eyelid like mudclots
          off a hoofpick no I can’t “hang out”
                    I’m preparing my unsupervised decomposition
                              I’m climbing in the mesh burying the mint

I’m bathing my flaking heels in an apple
          vinaigrette (you’ll praise me for that in the
                    morning) pigeon and jasper shavings falling
                              into the split in the floorboards the nepotism

baby allegations have been taken too
          far! Ping the morality play for a prescription
                    review I’ve completed the form twice
                              now but this isn’t a text you can respond to

so certainly I claim to warrant a change
          a calving of the oblong I no longer can find
                    on UberEats I’m busking for healthcare at the
                              counter soft-striking the bars with half a white

pill in the fridge                   it’s plum preserves                   which I’m not

unhappy about,                     just expected                     a different jam.
