AliG Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Well , I'm glad you didn't introduce the Olanzapine. I am thinking maybe I should have done what he told me. Have you read " Anatomy Of An Epidemic " by Robert Whittaker ? Many SSRI's and SSNRI's over 20 years. Zoloft for 7 years followed by Effexor, Lexapro, Prozac, Cymbalta, Celexa, Pristiq, Valdoxan, Mianserin and more - on and off. No tapering. Cold turkey off Valdoxan - end of May 2014 Psych Drug - free since May 2014 . Link to comment

Moderator Emeritus Shep Posted January 25, 2017 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 25, 2017 Thanks for the update, Dowdaller. I hope your stellar mindfulness skills that you've worked so hard on are helping with your anxiety and bringing you some relief. The sleep and appetite improvements are great. Link to comment
