Alchemy, I can relate to the crazies in my own way. Anxiety can drive me out of my mind. I mean that literally.
There is something about ECT that requires a withdrawal from medication?
I recently withdrew from Xanax xr myself and needed to restart at a slightly higher dose. Xanax is, I have subsequently been told, just about one of the most difficult substances to taper.
Please don't underestimate the effect of the medication taper on your cogntion or anxious thinking or thought content.
How far down do you need to taper? And for how long?
I am sorry it's been so on-going for you. It's good to hear from you.
I dig a pony.
