It's no wonder I got sick. I think my doctor means well but honestly he does not know how to get me off of this. I'm going to have to explain to him that he must go slower and I'm wondering if he put me on the regular effexor so I could at least cut the tablets and put me back on Prozac if that would make it any easier. I'm on Social Security Disability so I can't afford to do anything else then what my doctor is willing to do.

There are physicians who deal in drug issues, primarily opioid issues, but I wonder if an opinion from one of these doctors, or just finding another doctor or psychiatrist wouldn’t be your best bet. I have no knowledge of your insurance issues, but you aren’t getting the help you seem to need. Pretty good advice from those who have been there on this site, but a supervising physician is really necessary.
