Re: antidepressant discontinuation syndrome

After a serious health battle, found myself having to get off all kinds of meds, lastly antidepressants, Kathleen helped me greatly by allowing me to gradually taper Dow, which worked , took few months. It’s been few years now and I’m happy, Grateful, and Everyday is a Blessing for sure. You will find your way!!!! Go slow... Hi all...I'm a newbie here! I was
: wondering if anyone has dealt with
: stopping anti depressants and had
: to deal with discontinuation
: issues?
: I was on effexor since about 1995,
: and have FINALLY been able to
: break free. My doctor switched me
: to prozac for a year before
: helping me stop. I have been
: medication free since march this
: year....i had gotten to a point
: where i knew i did not need this
: drug any more, and now am
: realizing my brain has no idea how
: to behave. Emotions allll over the
: place, even 4 months out. I
: happened to come across this book,
