Are the headaches high blood pressure related? I know headaches and vertigo are related - and both accompany Effexor withdrawal.

Taper slower than you ever thought possible while taking Prozac. I tapered off 75mgs over the course of 18 months. I was med-free for 6 months but the anxiety and depression got bad. Doc tried a low dose of lexapro and my anxiety went through the roof. I’m talking three days of meds. Lowest dose. Doc then tried low dose of seroquel for a week to stabilize mood. Worked very well. And now added zoloft.

I’ve accepted that these meds help me be a happy part of society.

That being said, my niece was on all sorts of antidepressants and is completely off all and doing very well! There is hope for some of us :). Everyone is different.

Keep a sharp eye on your blood pressure.
