Keep holding at the 40mg level for a while. Let her body get used to it and take your time. Maybe two or three months. Then try again. Don’t torture yourself during the ween. And if 40 mgs works, that’s great!
I'm using vistaril instead of benadryl, its lessening the symptoms but to be honest, the last week has been rough. I really dont want to resort to another antidepressant while I'm in withdrawal though. It seems like ibuprofen helps too. Good luck, this is a tough road and it can be done!
