Jackie Reinstating an anti depressant

[Jackie]

I was on 225 Effexor for 15 years. Wanted off because I sweat profusely on it. Doctor weaned me way too fast which neither he nor I knew at the time. When I got down to 37.5 and started to feel sick, he put me on 40 mgs. of Cymbalta for two weeks, then 20 mgs. for two weeks then told me to take one every other day. After 2 days i

had horrible withdrawal symptoms. He put me back on 40 mgs. for 2 weeks. Did not help. He then tried a Prozac bridge. Didn’t work. I went off of Cymbalta and Prozac and he put me back on 37.5 Effexor trying to get me stabilized. It has been almost a month and I have not stabilized yet. Feel so awful everyday. Terrible Indigestion and tingling in my arms legs hands and feet and I feel nauseous and I have a slight headache. I don’t know what to do. Do you have any advice please. Thank youIndigestion and tingling in my arms legs hands and feet and I feel nauseous and I have a slight headache. I don’t know what to do. Do you have any advice please. Thank you

Welcome, Jackie.

 

Did you feel okay while you were on Cymbalta? Do you have any Effexor or Cymbalta left?

[Jackie]

I sent you a long message a few days ago and yesterday you asked me some questions, but I cannot find out where to go to answer you Alto. Very confusing format. Jacqueline
