compsports Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi SetMeFree, I am so sorry you had a bad exeprience with your new doctor. Excuse my language but he is so full of sh-t, he is drowning in it. I haven't read your history but I am assuming because you tapered too quickly is the reason why you are having problems. It has nothing to do with having a chemical imbalance. Anyway, use it is as motivation to get off of the eventually and prove this jerk wrong. You can do it.

compsports Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Sorry about that as I missed the tapering schedule in your signature. It might be as you get to the low doses that it is necessary to go even more slowly to prevent withdrawal symptoms. That is what I had to do with Doxepin.

SetMeFree Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks for positive feedback your support is well appreciated. I'm assuming going back to 8 will calm everything down.. Do you think I did the right thing?? Stomach is messed up..thx again. I looked up doxepin looks like tough stuff.. I am so happy you got OFF that stuff.. Did you suffer from anxiety, and weaning slower worked for you??

compsports Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi Set Me Free, It seems that sleep issues were my primary problem which I now realize was complicated by undiagnosed apnea. But I feel that tapering more slowly definitely helped. Yup, you definitely did the right thing in going back to 8. The idea is to win the war, not the battle. Glad I made your day.
