Hi, don't kknow how much you are on but you can gradually stop. If its 10 they

will have you take 1/2 for 10 days and then stop. Although I cheated and only

took it fro a week or so then stopped. Its not too bad, you notice wome

depressive thoughts during that time but its not too bad for me anyway. I'm

taking Wellbutrin now and at 150 only a day and SR and its fine.

Hope it helps you.

How in the world could your psyc not know that people become very

tired on Lex? Good grief, my psyc. told me that I should take it in

the evening/bedtime BECAUSE it makes some people sleepy/tired a lot.

Maybe you should tell her about this group and that she should read

some of the entries to know what people go through when on this drug-

the good, the bad and the ugly.
