"I personally wouldn't read too much into supplements that claim to do anything to the liver but you're entitled to your own view."
I actually had chronic migraines for 4 years. Saw every doc under the sun, and took all the meds. Finally went to a Naturopath and said was my liver. Did a cleanse, went away. Now they only come back if im not taking any liver supplements. Could be from the years of a)antidepressants, b)alcohol, c)antibiotics from acne in HS.

"I wouldn't go to 300 too soon, that will just cause a greater chance of your migraines and nausea. Upward tapers of these things are measured in weeks, not days. These are are largely transient effects of most antidepressants."Why do most things i've read online say to go up to 300mg after 3 days?

"At the moment, since you're tapering off of Valium, you're pretty protected from the only thing I would be concerned with patients on Wellbutrin, which is seizures."Tomorrow is first taper cut, from 25mgs, either to 22.5, or 20, i haven't decided.
"Derealization can occur and is a component of depression itself. Its also a possible component of benzodiazepines. I'm not sure about Wellbutrin."
This came on 4 years ago from anxiety/depression/alcoholism. It was the reason for taking the benzos in the first place.

Placebo effects occur as much as 1/3 of the time, and they're just as good :) These things take time and I would take plenty of time to build to 300 or 450mg, to reduce the risk of the rare seizure effect."Yes, i am fortunate to know that a drug will work for me w/ in a week or so. You/I just feel that click in my brain, or my body just rejects it.
Thanks for your advice, it is much appreciated.
