OK. Now I'm almost done with my med reductions. Bearing in mind I'm keep 100mg quetiapine + 'some' clonazepam, I've dropped dramatically.
This week:
10mg isocarboxazid (ditching on Sunday)
150mg bupropion (last dose on Wednesday)
50mg amitriptyline (ditching on Sunday)
1.5mg clonazepam (down to 1mg on Sunday)
100mg quetiapine (keeping)
Diphenhydramine (just started for sleep)
Keeping all supplements + added AnthroPlex, a strong adaptogenic.Next Monday will be 11days before I see my pdoc to begin phenelzine. I think that's a long enough washout of the contraindicated meds
A few things have happened. My appetite is almost completely gone so small regular snacks throughout the day. Also lost almost a stone in weight since I began reducing. Almost no depression at all. YET! Social & general anxiety sky high. I expected that.
