I do not sense that it is the kind of med that will poop-out. However, I've only been taking Valdoxan for 4 months.
I had start-up side effects for four days; Very vivid dreams and nightmares, choppy sleep, sleeping very near wakefulness, and inner ear vertigo.
I always sleep on my side, alternating from my right side to my left side, and back and forth throughout the night. During my Valdoxan start-up, whenever I turned over to the opposite
side in bed I would get severe vertigo (i.e.; spinning room that will not stop for about 30 - 60 seconds). I hate vertigo!For some reason, the vertigo was worse when changing from my left side down, to my right side down, as opposed to the visa-versa. Perhaps it is associated with which inner ear is "out of wack". At any rate, all side effects do to Valdoxan, disappeared in four days.
> BTW I take 50mg/night and no sedation next day at all. At least none from Valdoxan.
