Strattera Withdrawal

Posted by fallsfall on April 8, 2004, at 9:15:21

I've been on Strattera for over a year. I take 80mg in the morning (along with a bunch of other meds). Last summer I had an intolerable sweating problem (I would sweat just sitting in a chair), so now that I'm feeling a little more stable depression-wise I want to see if I can drop the Strattera (which is the most likely culprit for the sweating).
I didn't find much in the archives about stopping Strattera. My pdoc said to go from 80mg to 40mg for a week, then every 4 - 7 days decrease from 40 to 25 to 18 to 10mg. I remember that going up SLOWLY was really important on Strattera - what about going down? I guess I'm nervous about cutting it in half right off the bat. Any experiences?
Thanks!
Falls.
