> Why would I? Or why did I? It's been over a week now. I just can't be bothered with it all any more. I've had enough of popping pills and I don't even know if any of them are doing anything. So this is one way to find out, I guess. Maybe just a whim? Who knows.
Well, that gives a different complexion to the situation. Some people do not experience withdrawal symptoms (lucky bastards), and from your tone, I'd speculate you're one such (lucky, not a bastard).
> I did look at the withdrawal boards, but they all seemed focussed on one specific type at a time. In case you're interested, I'm on - sorry WAS on -

> Pramipexole 4 x 1mg per dayMirapex? I'm unsure that you'd even anticipate a withdrawal reaction from this. I'm just not familiar enough.
> L Tryptophan 6 x 500mg per day
Well, I wouldn't expect any withdrawal effects from this.
> Liothyronine 3 x 20mcg per day
Withdrawal effects would likely gradually grow over weeks, if you note anything at all.
> Mirtazapine (Zispin) 1 x 15mg per day
No withdrawal insomnia?
> Folic Acid 1 x 5mg per day
I wouldn't expect any withdrawal from this, either.
> Sertraline 2 x 100mg per day
Now, I'd have expected something from this; you're at about the point where full elimination would be anticipated, and withdrawal symptoms would be full-blown. Statistics can't be extrapolated to individuals, however, in either kinetics or symptoms.
> These are UK names - I know some US ones are different.Actually, what you supplied were the generic drug names, which I find most useful. Very seldom are generic names different in different countries. The only one that springs to mind is acetominophen/paracetamol.
> Thank you for replying - I wasn't sure if anybody would
Well, you're welcome. I don't know if I've said anything that's of any use to you.
