So, on Monday I began cutting the patch from a half to a quarter, probably with the intent of gettting off of it soon. I didn't have too much of a problem adjusting when I cut it from a full to a half about 2 months ago...but now I'm getting withdrawal symptoms, including a pretty good bout of flu-like symptoms. Coughing, runny nose, fatigue, some GI upset, general crappy flu feeling. No fever, but I still feel like sh--. Hadn't really expected this, this is the first time med withdrawal has made me sick in the conventional sense. I also have some waves of intense anxiety and generally low energy, which didn't surprise me as much as the flu.
This'll probably get moved to the withdrawal board, but I thought i'd put it here since more people will see it here. Emsam hasn't been around long enough for many people to try it and quit yet. Just thought I'd let everyone know.
