Tips for reducing/coping with SSRI withdrawal symptoms?!
Question: Tips for reducing/coping with SSRI withdrawal symptoms.?
Any things that combat withdrawal, besides tapering off slowly (which I'm doing).? I've been tapering off slowly, but i still get withdrawal, because I've been taking SSRIs (zoloft, then paxil) for 2 years. Pretty much 1 year each. My doctor gave me 10mg paxils that I can split, so I followed his tapering off program, but I finished them all after splitting into 5mg and 2-1/2mg. Getting withdrawl now after a month of tapering, i have backup paxil to slice into 5mg to help me, but I still get withdrawal from time to time with such a small dose.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Could you take the half 5mg pills every third or fourth day for a while, to eliminate the withdrawals, then gradually increase it to fifth, sixth, seventh... and finally off.?
