Coming off

Posted , 2 users are following.

Just wondering I’ve just spoke to my doctor about coming off now I’ve only been on 50mg for 6 weeks and he said I’ve got to take 1 tablet every 2 weeks ? Will I be ok ?? Is that normal

    I can only go by my experience and from what I've read on here. I would have thought that to come off you would normally take 25mg for a few weeks. But I am not a doctor. Are you sure you want to come off them Demi....it is very hard on 50mg but I found when I increased I gradually began to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am so glad now that I carried on. There were so many times that I felt like quitting. You get into a situation where you don't know whether to increase or decrease which adds enormously to your anxiety. You feel trapped by the drug. However I knew I couldn't go back to feeling the way I did so I carried on. The decision is your and yours alone to be honest. I think you need to find out for sure whether a tab every other day is the way to go. Good luck in whatever you decide to do ...if you are getting periods of feeling better then the drug is starting to work..I'm still grotty in the mornings but as soon as I'm up and had a brew I'm better. So glad I carried on.
