> The night I wrote my last entry I went to bed and woke up having hallusinations and a panic attach. I decide it was time to tell the doc, what Id done.
> Well, I told the doctor, I went cold turkey off the Effoxer and whats been going on. He gave me the most dreadful look and said "do you know how dangerous that is, especially at my high dose." He told me it was released to the public and it was on the NEWS, the dangers of not weaning off effoxer. Not only is it dangerous phsyically to your health, but mentally it is even worse.
> So he put me back on 75mg to wean me off, I have felt great, not one panic attack or aggresive outburst since. Ill be weaned off in a month.
>Really?
*whistles innocently* ... 1 week and one ... no ... 2 days cold turkey from 300mg... haven't killed anybody yet.
So uh ... what can happen, I mean psychologically I can anticipate ... but physically? What can happen? I mean I've had the whole dizzyness, headache, nausea, diarreah, fever type thing ... but is there a risk of something worse happening ... or has it been long enoug that I shouldn't worry about it anymore?
