Hi daniella

I am not medically qualified, but a parent who saw her son go through awful withdrawal from Luvox, because of not being given *correct* information on tapering down by his doctor. We tapered, but the withdrawal was still too rapid

My son's experiences have also taught me to now read every single side effect of any med very carefully and then do more research before taking it or giving it to my family.

I would really urge caution on stopping any med without careful and *experienced* doctor supervision.

I did learn the very hard way about becoming informed about these things myself. There is a lot of info out there and one does have to sift thru it to discern what is factual, and even with my background in research, I often feel like I am floundering.

That's one of the reasons I really appreciate how mrsD puts up valid links to info so we can go and see for ourselves, and be more informed when we next see our docs .

I hope all goes well with the decisions you are making about the med.
Cheri
