At first the withdrawal symptoms were nasty but they disappeared completely after about two weeks!! It is my belief that the withdrawal symptoms of new psychiatric drugs should be carefully evaluated before the drug is approved. The pakage insert should include detailed information about the withdrawal.

Thanks for the encouragment!! I guess at some point I amjust going to have to buck up and stop the drug. I am a stay at home mom of a 3, 2 and 1 year old and I dont know that I could handle the withdrawl and take care of them at the same time
