> One of the best ways I have found so far for tapering is to get alot of sleep. I use the weekends as taper down periods. I sleep from Friday night to Monday morning while initially stepping down to dosage.
This is just what I did last weekend when going through bad withdrawals from efexor.
> I enjoy the dreams more than I do reality.
Yes! I can sympathise with this. Even though the dreams were terrible nightmares, I still wanted to be asleep rather than awake.
> On these weekends I slow down my eating and drink plenty of water. I get up just long enough to take my meds at the usual times.
Actually, this sounds like most weekends for me since I went on efexor. No energy for anything, not even eating.
