My best recommendation is do exactly what you are doing, researching these psychotropic drugs. - Best of luck, JeffJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699267298633358798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940529539006185663.post-21006538518765578592012-09-16T19:56:53.883-07:002012-09-16T19:56:53.883-07:00Hello Jeff,

Getting off Zoloft took three months and now I am told I need to be switched to Lamictal from Seroquel. <br /><br />Some times I feel like my doctors are playing medication bingo with me. <br />Thanks for the links they help a lot in my search find out whats going and how to deal with daily struggles.<br />-SWaldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08801262971220141104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940529539006185663.post-84902628025453818902012-08-29T21:44:55.865-07:002012-08-29T21:44:55.865-07:00Hi Sara and thanks for the crazymeds.org link.

I checked it out and added it to my "list" Quickly I found that it provides a good breakdown of various attributes of my arch enemy antidepressant, Cymbalta. <br /><br />I'm getting off it since it no longer works. I started at 120 mg/day. It's taken me six months to get down to my current 40 mg/day. <br /><br />I've never had such a difficult time getting off a psychmed. In comparison, I tapered off Abilify last winter in just a few weeks with no problems whatsoever.<br /><br />Keep up the good fight(s)?<br /><br />Jeff Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699267298633358798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940529539006185663.post-79859842265745874602012-08-29T12:46:36.820-07:002012-08-29T12:46:36.820-07:00Hello Jeff,

It helps to have advice from someone in the profession (Dr. Phelps). Also, a reader just recommended http://survivingantidepressants.org/ for withdrawal and tapering. It's a user forum, which are often helpful for getting an "insiders" perspective on things. I checked it out and it's worthwhile.
