The easiest drug to come off of for me was Lexapro, but it still wasn't a cakewalk. Lexapro was also more convenient and practical to taper because it's a tablet and you can break it into halves and quarters.
Some people are more sensitive than others, and that's why the medical community should take this more seriously. There are a few people who can just stop, and I envy them. A have a friend who can just quit taking Effexor with no bran zaps, nothing. It's incredible.
> i was told by both my pharmacist and my doctor i couldn't do this (with cymbalta, but turns out plenty of people do). i wish they had been able to help me at the time. instead they just said take the lowest dose every other day and then every third day. that was (unsurprisingly) very unhelpful, and just made things worse.
