Thank you for your response. I am learing all the issues about going off these kinds of meds after so many years. My issue is that they have not really helped me that much either, so I am going to put my fate in faith in God and a re-newed interest in seeking help from friends.
Hi
I admire your guts and strength in trying to deal with two drugs that you are addicted to.
But patience is the key word, I know through going to my support group that sleeping tablets are hard to come off, infact the sleeping tablet is swapped for a low dose of diazepan because it is easier to get off and helps with the sleep, you can e-mail CITA my support
group they have helped me so much. I am withdrawing from effexor after the Dr put me into cold turkey by swapping it for a different group of anti-depressants i have been very ill.
So I do hope you do it gently the Dr's always do the withdrawal too quick.
Love
