My wife was prescribed this med about 2yrs ago, no relief after 1 month she tried to stop, went into horrible withdrawal. Doctor said "it can't be the drug" I suggested she go back on after a week of terrible side effects(sleepy,dopey,scared,almost suicidal,depressed,nausea complete personal breakdown,no showers,ect) She started back on at 6
o pm by 9pm she was a weak normal person almost unbelievable. Called doctor and told him what was going on and he said he would check into it with drug rep. 2 months no response, I called and expressed myself. I got her to try to go off again but after reading here I decided to go very slow and reduce meds by about 10% every 2 weeks we are down to 60% and she is starting to have side effects again she is a wreck ! I don't know if we continue or not, but this is terrible
