You are lucky, I did not have a mental illiness. I was put on it because the doc I was seeing found I had thyroid diesease and decided that since there was a chance of depression this would be best. I am not weaning but going cold turkey. I have had none since Saturday and today was a little rough. The chest pains aren't too bad but I do have high blood pressure and take an ace inhibitor as well as a beta blocker. I have many good christian friends at work and a supportive family which will assist as needed but time is critical for me as I feel that this is a way to hopefully reverse some damage. No one could say but I am willing to go the hard road to find peace knowing I did all I was intended to do. My lord is supporting me in every way I just wish I knew how long it will take to be rid of the drugs from my blood stream. No one seems to be able to answer this or how bad it will get. I pray that all will find the assistance they need to keep going. And just thankful that my daughter which is manic depressive was not put on it.
