I'm sorry to hear this drug doesn't seem to be "doin' what it should" any more for you, Cheryl.

I have not had any personal experience with this med, and I haven't even run into anyone on the forums who's tried to withdraw from it either. I did a quick check on the net (which you probably did too), and it looks like this could be a challenge:

I had trouble even weaning off of Celexa (took 3 attempts, I think), and I was on a very low dosage. Eventually my doc had to start me on Wellbutrin to withdraw off Celexa . . . and I kinda weaned them both at the same time. It seems, from what I've read, people have had the best success with getting on something else to get off Soma too.

for this new obstacle.
