It never worked , it maybe made my depression worse because I remember feeling some relief when I eventually stopped it> Its obviously not a drug you should be on. Hang in there.

My pdoc is having me taper off at the rate of 150 mg. per week, and ordinarily I would never quit a drug cold turkey, but having to wait about 2-1/2 weeks more till I can get it out of my system seems like an eternity. Do you remember if you tapered off?

> Yes, I tapered off. I can't remember by how much per week , but I spent at least a good 4 weeks coming off it. There was no real withdrawel. I know how frustrating it is when you just want the drug out of your system but its outright stupid to go cold turkey. I had done that previously with a few AD's and it was terrible.
