((eclaire)) you are absolutely right and I didn't address that issue with the Cymbalta...I don't think.
It was awful, yes. I had forgotten about those awful zaps, I HATE those! The way my doc helped me taper off was to add Prozac first (and for me in a small amount, he knows me better than to start me off with a typical dose!). I had tried going off without any aid, but when he decided to add that, it really helped.
Paxil was hell to get off, for me. The brain zaps were horrendous. Luckily they have liquid Paxil and that is how I got off that stuff. At the end I went down 1 mg a day per week. 10 mg, 9, 8, and so on. It took a LONG time for me to get off that.
Effexor was hell as well!
I have a very low tolerance for the SR ADs.
But coming off these ADs isn't the same for everyone. I have known people who have gone off the same ADs that I did, and they didn't have any problems.
