Yes, Dan, that's what made me more concerned about taking it. My mother was on it for a year when her husband was hospitalized and then later passed away. She didn't have any problems and suggested I ask the dr. for it when I had my breakdown over my husbands condition last week. I talked to my therapist who feels we can work through my problem within a month or two and feels I shouldn't need the drug. My husband has also had no headache now for 3 days, first time in 3 years. That alone has me walking on air. I am a somewhat hyper person anyway, so maybe the extra seratonin isn't the plan for me. I assume,since I am on the lowest dose and only 3 days in that there isn't a way to taper off, except just to stop?
