Hi there. I'm wondering if some of you brainiacs out there can help me? I have fibromyalgia, depression and terrible anxiety, and am pretty treatment-resistant. My pdoc thinks tianeptine would be a great option for me, and said he'd write an rx to order online. I'm currently on 225mg of effexor, and am wondering if it's possible to do a cross-taper? I'm so frickin' scared of the withdrawal from effexor. Paxil withdrawal symptoms lasted over a year, and effexor is supposedly much worse. *cringing*. So, I'm hoping that cross-tapering is safe.
Thoughts??
Thank you! (And I know ordering online is a murky area, so please no judgments about that; There are so few options for Fibromyalgia treatment I'd fly somewhere to get the meds if I needed to). Thanks again!
VG
