After a couple of months, I think it's not gonna do it. (mind you, any of the other drugs might be the culprit, but this is my first guess as the main one.) If you've tried Straterra, and quit, was there anything in the way of withdrawal?
(Effexor withdrawal took me 8 months, so I'm a little gun shy about the prospect of going through that again.)
Thanks.

I don't remember how much I was taking before (around 80-100 mg I think) but I got off it with no problems. I am going back on it again to see what happens, as the dosage info was wrong when I started taking it. But as always, ask your DOCTOR because they know best. I just don't remember having any problems with withdrawl.

I stopped abruptly after about 6 months and was at 80 mg/day. I didn't have any problems. However, everyone is different, and as the previous poster mentioned, you probably should discuss this with your doctor just in case. If you were to experience withdrawal it might be helpful to have some lower-dose pills to taper off with, for example.
It seems to me there was a post here a couple of months ago from someone who did have some withdrawal problems -- you might check the archives (I'm not positive that I saw that here, but I think so).
This is the end of the thread.
