@armardi373 hi not rage but did feel weird and almost poisoned by aftertaste and dry mouth feeling groggy. I am just trying to stay off it but struggling even after only 3 months. Started 7.5 went up to 15 for a month but felt very Anxious and panicky - tapered back down to 7.5 then 3.75 stopped three nights ago but can’t sleep more than four hours and have hot skin flashes. Don’t want to return to it but GP does recommend at least six months and said I was stopping against medical advice. It’s a very potent antihistamine drug certainly you out but I don’t want to feel so drugged

@hoping25
Your GP needs to listen to his patients. Thats crazy telling you to stsy on it for 6 months when you have serious side effects. Tell him to go on it and suffer through the side effects for 6 months. It makes me so angry to hear that this happened to you. I couldn't take it either because of the same reason.I got off myself. Take care and get a new GP. God Bless

@hoping25 Do not stay on it or go up. My doc tried to take me up from 15 to 22.5. I did not react well. Now trying to taper. Same doc has me reducing to 7.5 from 15. From what I have read this is too quick a taper. Have many side effects with tapering but want off.
