Hello.I have just successfully weaned off of 13 mos. @ 300mg/day of FXR xr. I tried 7 different AD's & countless "cocktails" but FXR xr was the only one that actually "cured" my depression. I don't think this is a drug that should be given as a first line AD. I think a discontinuation strategy should be discussed with your doc before being rx'd FXR. I think there should be comprehensive studies on discontinuation & a protocol established for it. But I do believe this drug for some, is the closest thing to a miracle cure we have for very treatment resistant depression, especially with comorbid conditions (IMHO). I know I will catch some shit for this statement. Just (as Dr Bob would say) Please be civil.

13 days med free & loving it!!!

PS As always your mileage may vary.
