In reply to Hi Goofy and Pamela - update on my progress, posted by Fish on April 19, 2001, at 8:49:36
> Hi Goofy and Pamela ... both of you were so helpful in giving me information on how to wean and what to expect. It is almost three weeks now. I am down to 18 mg a day. It's been rough, side effects are bad at the end of the day, but I am able to function (work, being mom and student). I am very tired. Seem to want to sleep all the time. Feel like I ran a marathon by the end of the day, but my side effects are milder .... I feel like I have a brain again! And I have actually been cold (sweating has decreased dramatically). I am trying to be patient with decreasing dosage. I think I went from 37.5 to 18 mg too quickly. Only gave it a week ... side effect really bad for a few days. Anyway, again thank you for your support. How are you two doing? Fish
Fish--- just curious as to how you're doing with the withdrawal. I went from 9+ mg to 4+ today and so far, have moderate vertigo and fairly severe headache. Hopefully it won't last for too many days. My daughter went from 18 down to 9+ today and experienced headache and nausea, but not bad. We plan to stay on our new doses for 7 days and then taper again.
Let us know how it's going for you. thanks.
