> its all different. and if scoped properly it can be done..while inpatient in hampton i was detoxed off prozac and started on nardil in 2 weeks with no ill side effects. of course i had an inpatient doctor and my vitals checked 4 QID..
> prozacs half life is 72 hours. with the addition of periactin dr.s are able to cut that time in half........ dude

>I'm on my way to my dr now. I am going to talk to him about this- if he agrees to try it I am going to have perscribe me some benzos for inbetween time.
- Today I am going crazy and I'm only two days w/o meds.
I am a recovering alcoholic and I thought long and hard about this benzo thing, but I am tired of feeling lke shit. I really want to give Parnate or Nardil a try and I am very determined to keep myself healthy and do this the 'right way'.If I wanted to kill myself with drugs I would have done it a long time ago-
I don't intend to play around with the SSRI's-
Thanks-
