Hi Paul,
Glad to see your back!!! So you did end up quitting cold turkey.. I had a feeling you would.. your reluctance was so similar to mine. I'm hoping you'll be as lucky as me. I expected the worst.... got some prozac, benadryl, you know all the tips.
After 11 days, haven't felt a thing.... so don't assume you will. I felt wonderful getting off the stuff.. it was a "high" in itself... those side effects while taking it were just awful for me.
Like I said, I haven't had any physical symtoms, but the last few days I've been feeling really depressed again. My doctor gave me celexa... but I'm not ready to take anything yet.
Being that this fluanxol is for short term and you were wondering where you pdoc was going with your treatment.... maybe he prescribed it to get you thru the after effexor stuff and then decide later on down the line where to go with it? Just a thought.
I hope everything works out.... just think... you might not have any withdrawal! It does happen, I'm living proof. Fingers crosssed.... keep me up to date how your feeling. Take care, Michele
