Sorry to hear that Lady Bug that is a real bummer you choose the medicines so carefully hoping the would help you but now it seems that it has not been worth it.
Withdrawing is best done by shaving your tablets, the slower you wean off the less problems with withdrawal you get. Not quarter, half, or worse a whole tablet at the time, but just crumbs at the time, making the crumbs bigger each day until the tablet is basically gone. Lets hope your depression is not going to fire up. Have you got a back up plan?
I don't have a back up plan yet I'm not sure I can survive without some form of medication either. My binge eating and insomnia get the best of me, and I can at least fall asleep on the meds I'm on, the first time in many, many years I can sleep, so it's not black and white.Hi Lady Bug,
Just wanted to let you know about an excellent support website which provides suggestions and support for psychiatric drug withdrawal.
www.survivingantidepressants.org
The site owner has experienced withdrawal herself and has done a lot of research about how to get off psychiatric drugs following a harm reduction method. Her story is here.
My pill form is extended release, so I can't shave the pill like that. The standard (faster) release makes me too drowsy, so I can't use that version either.
