I had a really bad time coming off them. I got dizzyness, nausea ect ect ect.
it took me 3 months of tapering off the drug slowly. listen to your doctor and follow thier advice to the letter you should be fine
yes ,
Just because the Doctor gives them to you it does not mean they are not DRUGS !
You should not take drugs , you should find the cause of your depression . It could be the weather, home life , self worth, only you know.
I was on drugs for years and they did me no benefit what so ever.
Just put money in the governments pocket.
Try something natural , like cannabis.
You can do this without people profiting from your illness.
I had to be in the hospital one time to come off antidepressants as the possible side effects included seizures; they had me on antiseizure meds while they decreased the antidepressants. Are you stopping these under a doctor's care? Will you be starting another one? If the doc gave you instructions, follow those. Otherwise, wean slowly; cut them in half, then quarters eventually. You don't say what your withdrawal symptoms are so I don't know if they're something to be concerned about. Just be sure your depression is taken care of.
My mom had the same issue when she was taking wellbutrin so her doctor ended up putting her on a antideprssent called lexapro. She was able to wean herself off of the lexapro alot easier than the wellbutrin. But thats just what worked for my mom. I have taken lexapro myself for several months before i moved to wisconsin where i live now and i havent been able to convince my doctor to give me the lexapro so it was also very easy for me to get over not haveing it seeing as how i only took 1 10mg pill a day. but in any event i hope you can find a way to get off of them also you may want to check with a wholistic doctor to see if maybe you can find a herbal approch that is more natural.
I use to be on them and the doctor slowly reduced the dosage and the strength. It takes a while to come off them as they are addictive. Your body has grown use to them. Speak to your doctor again there might be something else out there that you could take to ward off the severe affects of coming off long term medication.
I never used its.
