> Thanks Scott. I guess I have just put off asking my Dr for Prozac because I dont know if he will understand why I am asking--although he had offered to put me on something else (Lexapro??) and I refused stating I wanted to be done with all of this! I thought that since I was taking such a tiny tiny dose @ 24hrs that eventually I would quit "zapping"! NOT! I want to be free!
> ~DizzyWhat you might want to do is to take minute amounts of Effexor several times a day, using it only when the zaps appear. You would be using it almost like aspirin for a headache. As long as you monitor your daily intake and establish a maximum daily dosage you would be operating a true taper strategy. I used to carry around with me a tablet with me and simply bit off very small pieces as needed.
Do you have tablets to work with or only capsules?
