> Bleauberry (I hope you don't mind me asking you these questions....)--and others, what are the Parnate withdrawal issues?
I'm sure this is probably an individual thing that varies from person to person. I know I've seen it here multiple times when people stopping Parnate felt aweful. Usually stuff like really down blue mood and anxiety. Not so much the nausea and other bizarreness of SSRI withdrawals.
For me the the Parnate withdrawal depression was intensely worse than the depression I started with. And the anxiety was oh my god. It was truly a fearful handful of days beginning about 3 days after the final dose.
Savella in comparison was quite mild. No wild swings. So the decision between the two is tough. Halflife versus withdrawal are the deciding factors when I contemplate these two in competition. And I'm still on the fence on that one.
