Oops, sorry, I forgot to check to notify me of follow-ups.
> These are two awesome bits of information that I have not come across!

> Even though I ended up cold turkey and didn't need to split the capsule, I had ulcers before and have a sensitive tummy. The nausia was bad sometimes right before bed and I bet that tossing acidic meds down to it would have been a disaster!

> I forgot to add to my last post Success and Symptoms, that I had a few days (around days 2-5 of cold turkey) of INTENSE carb cravings. I tried to eat a cucumber once instead and about hurled. I didn't know that carbs help make seratonin. I did eat, and eat...and eat. I put on about 6 pounds. But now the dizzyness is getting better so I can go back to yoga and lose it again pretty quickly.
