> Have you tried adding in a small amount of another serotonergic agent? I decreased very slowly off of Effexor. I had two bad days at the end when I went off of the last 10 mg. of it. At that point I started on Cymbalta and ALL of the problems went away. Prozac is supposed to be very good to use for this purpose as well.
>thanks but no. i am trying to get off all my psyc meds one at a time, i don't want to add new ones. i have gained serious wieght over the past year and a half (about 75 lbs) I was even excersizing for a bit, then after six months and still gaing rapid weight I said "screw exercising if it doesn't help" So I really don't want to add anything new for long term use. I just talked to my mom though and she brought over some klonopin to help me through this (short term hopefully)
