Ok, so I saw my Psych. Dr. today, and she is adamant that I get off my 3 mg. of lorazapam a day, and on some sort of SSRI. I have been on lorazapam for 7 years, and it has always helped me....I am so scared to be taken off of it. Let me say I have tried every SSRI in the book except Cymbalta, and Prozac, and could not tolerate any of them. They made me sick, and more anxious, because I felt sick. I am overweight, and fight hypothyroidism, and don't need the weight gain, either......I am so upset, and don't want to do this. What I want to know is: what if any do you guys know is a more mello SSRI, that I won't be throwing up on, or feeling light headed, and sick. I tried Buspar and Paxil years ago, and don't remember anything about them, and haven't done prozac or cymbalta.....so I need some serious advice, I am so depressed now, it is even worse, because I did not want to hear this news. She said I should think about it, and let her know, and that I would go off the lorazapam very slowly, after the other medicine started to take effect.....will the other really help me as much as the lorazapam has????? please, I need advice, I am freaking out. thanks
