hi Willie!
forgive me for being so erratic these days in checking in here... It's great to hear from you!yeah, well, my withdrawal... hmmm. Actually, so far the withdrawal itself doesn't seem to be causing too many side effects. Maybe taking teh Omega-3 is helping with this (boy, does Omega-3 SURE help with the constipation!?!) but i had a relapse in the energy dept. this past week, which was itself depressing -- I am increasingly realizing (not for the first time) that it's a zero energy state that Makes me depressed, not vice versa... My back goes out on me or something and my energy plummets -- and it gets damn depressing to have to curtail social activities as a result...
I'm still having the major sweats (one of my 3 reasons for quitting - just the other night again awoke so wet i had to change all clothing) but at least my heart is no longer pounding out of my chest after just gardening... I'm still at 75 mg til at least next week when i see md. and get some more to finish tapering off with...
Once or twice during w/d i've had a weird brain thing that maybe was the "zaps" people talk about but it wasn't too bad and did pass...
Frankly, i don't know quite what to make of this experience except that it makes me wonder if serotonin was my problem after all.
Sounds great that you can e-mail your doctor - i need a doctor i could do that with! I can with my chiropractor which is already a boon...
where in Florida are you going?
with hugs,
zinya
