You're sure right, Jane. But there are some meds which are really hard to get off of. I have heard Wellbutrin is one. Meprobamate was one for me. There are others. I know folks who took Wellbutrin and liked it up until a certain point, then wanted to stop, and had really severe withdrawal symptoms, nearly convulsions might be a word to use, although I can't recall if they used that word. This effect would happen even if the person wanted to quit the drug because the motivation for taking it had changed.

For me,all drugs have sufficient side effects, even the best ones, that I eventually want to quit them. Some are easy to quit. Others like pulling teeth.
