I've been off almost 8 weeks now. I just don't know. Not sure I will make it.

@catamite
What side effects are you still having? I’m 2 weeks off and am having serious depression, dizziness, irritability, rage and confusion. Benadryl seems to help a little.

@catamite You will make it, have confidence in yourself. I can only imagine how difficult it must be not having been on these miserable drugs myself, but there are success stories out there and you will be one too. The people on this topic are very supportive of each other so whenever you need to "talk" to someone I am sure they will respond.
