Delta14 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Following the BBC Panorama documentary on Four Corners the Adelaide University is running a brief anon survey to capture people's experience with stopping antidepressants in Australia and to explore the services people may need to safely stop their medication. This survey is a great opportunity for our voices to be heard and shape the future. https://adelaideuniwide.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3QqWrY5TBNUP1YO Edited August 31, 2023 by getofflex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisbort Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Can the survey still be filled out/are there any updates from the survey?? 2016 - Tapentadol (Palexia) 100mg SR twice a day 2016 - Lyrica (Pregabalin) 300mg twice a day 2017 - Cymbalta (Duloxetine) 90mg once a day 2018 - Lyrica 150mg twice a day 2021 to Present - Lyrica 75mg twice a day 05/2022 - Started tapering Tapentadol. Doctor stupidly reduced me from 100mg to 50mg in 1 day. Huge withdrawals. Since getting down to 50/50mg I started getting this compounded myself by reducing 10mg in either the morning or night per month. As of 23/10/2023 am completely off Tapentadol. Withdrawal symptoms remain, but difficult to tell how much is Tapentadol, how much is Cymbalta, and how much is just me. 10/2022 - Cymbalta changed to 60mg in the morning and 30mg at night to aid morning struggles with high cortisol levels and due to the short half life. Brain zaps were the most common symptom besides general mental health deterioration. 02/2023 - Started tapering Cymbalta by counting beads. Reduced 60mg morning dosage by 5-10 beads per week on average. Once down to 30/30 I started taking out 5 beads per capsule per week = 10 beads total per week. Am currently on 24mg twice a day. This = 200 beads minus 40 beads per capsule. 160 out of 200 = 80% which = 24mg. Have not been great the last few months, but this is certainly due to tapering Tapentadol as well. Stabilised on 24mg the last month and will continue this until the 11/12/2023 when I will attempt to reduce slightly again. Presently on - Tapentadol = 0mg. Cymbalta = 24mg twice a day. Lyrica = 75mg twice a day. Feel free to ask me anything about myself and this journey. Including withdrawal symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
