When I took the smaller doses it did help a lot. But what Lucille says is worth thinking about - you might be already half way there. Good luck - I know it's a struggle.
Stu.
Thanks. Yes, I'm leaning toward just going with it. If it doesn't let up in another couple of weeks then I will consider using another drug just to taper. But I really want off all of these things!
Are you considering trying to go off again or stick with it for now?
The crazy meds site was helpful, btw, and then I looked up SNRI withdrawal syndrome and got a bunch more links and information which really helped. I don't feel so alone or crazy anymore which is half the battle!
