I've been on these for 10 years and they worked pretty good for 7 years with no instability at all.I am currently without a pdoc. Four of them have been useless and had no good ideas. The best ideas I've ever had were either my own or fellow pbabblers. I saw a naturopath doctor who tested me for all kinds of stuff. Cortisol was slightly low, but everything else you can think of was normal.
Symptoms that would reappear as I stop the drugs? Well, it's been 14 days off prozac and I'm now at 1mg zypexa and these daily cycles seem significantly softened. The cycles seem to be improving as the drugs disappear.
