Hang in there
yes, when I weaned my acupuncturist told me to ONLY go to the next dose when stable mood for a least 1month!
He said that it may take weeks, or even months( as it did in my case) to feel stable mood before i cut back..
hope this helps

Thank you for the kind words. It was very needed today.

> Yes, going down to 3.75 might make the depression worse. I really haven't stablized on the 7.5 mg. Today was terrible. I had to sit through presentations at a conference and it was brutal, but it may have been brutal without being on drugs ;) The heavy head stuff was very bad. I have started to get a heavy chest too. Kind of like anxiety but different. I know this is drug related. I do find some uplifting in my mood during the day and it is when the heavy head lessens some. When I feel down again the heaviness increases. Nausea too. Then followed by extreme hunger. I really need to wait about 3 weeks because I have something important but I don't know if I will be worse by then.
