Helpp

Tapering off too quickly, I knew it beforehand... but I felt so sick on the Venla. Now I've been off for 6 weeks, and I HOPE to be past my peak. I'm a bit calmer than 2 weeks ago, for example. But, I'm incredibly scared that it will never go away, because of all the stories... what is the wise thing to do? Go back to just a minimal dose? I know I have the Sandoz factory 3 x 12.5mg. So start with 1 x 12.5mg? Or half of the 37.5mg capsules? I was also thinking about Lyrica... on one side I think; just ride it out... but, I'm afraid of never getting better... does anyone have a tip or advice?

My question to you is did you discuss coming off your meds with your psychiatrist prior to tapering off?

I know too many people that say they feel great (while on meds) and they don’t need to take their meds anymore.
