> I definitely don`t do well with anything stimulating. I can`t say any AD has ever made me feel better, but plenty have made me feel worse. And yet I keep trying-sometimes I think it`s not because I have any real expectation of anything working, but more to punish myself for being depressed. I`m annoyed that duloxetine is only going to be available in enteric coated capsules, not tablets, as I`ve learned over the years (through the school of bitter experience) to start any med on the smallest possible dose. And weaning off-people have no choice but to go from 20 mg to zero-a recipe for disaster. Cecilia
Thanks for the heads up! That is something VERY important to know, and I couldn't agree with you more. I don't think drug makers have any ideal how hard it is to discontinue some of these meds. I'm taking Welbutrin XL right now, and they only offer it in 150mg and 300mg doses, that are not splittable. For me, that's a fiasco waiting to happen. You know, if they haven't fully acknowledged the withdrawal by now, I'm not sure it's ever going to happen.
