Withdrawal

[Guest guest]

Hi, I was just wondering if someone could suggest a rough time frame

I can be looking at? When you can see the light at the end of the

tunnel, so to speak, it's easier to do the journey.

I started Effexor last September, switched directly to Celexa, and

was on 20mg for about 4 months. I dropped to 10mg and within 2 days

got withdrawal symptoms. After a week I stopped the Celexa

altogether. That was 6 weeks ago.

I have read that some people count their recovery from one of these

drugs in months rather than weeks. I've also read some scare stories

about people who have sued the pharmaceuticals because they were

permanently damaged by the drugs, or were never able to come off

them. (I wonder if many of them would have been helped by finding

their way here.)

I still have a host of symptoms. They are milder than they were and

are probably mixed with the original depression, which is still

present. But it's highly likely that they'll clear in time, yes?

I've cleaned my diet up as much as I can, no grains or sugar; I want

to do everything I can to get well.

Thanks,

.
