thank you! This is encouraging. When I went off effexor I didn't have any other meds on board to help out (like xanax or kloopin), so I suspect I may have an easier time if I can get some relief from the worst as I go along. I wonder how long the whole taper and then washout before I can start EMSAM will be? Trying to decide whether to start now or wait till after the holidays...
> I think in contrast to the horrible withdrawal you had from effexor the withdrawals from remeron and lexapro could be bad but not at all in the same league as effexor in that regard. Both will probably have some nausea, malaise, off balance a bit, difficulty sleeping, fogginess, and anxiety. Not for sure, but those would be the ones I would expect from those meds just based on personal experience.
