I agree with you and the Mayo Clinic Pharmacist that patients shouldn’t get off some of these medications on their own. But realistically what other alternatives would you and your pharmacy staff recommend when physicians are either incapable or unwilling to properly get patients off these medications in a proper withdrawal-free manner. The 6000+ people in the Effexor thread are mostly from patients who have physicians who's responsibility it is to assure these people a safe and withdrawal-free taper. Not to mention all the money they are collecting for causing more misery than help. Obviously they aren't doing their job or there wouldn't be so many heart-wrenching posts. What about all the other patients on all the other websites desperately in need of help. What do you say to them, knowing they are not receiving the help they need which they pay for. What’s the answer if it’s not discontinuation by self-medicating? Please tell us what our alternative is. We'd like to know.
Take care,

He already told me to go down from 325 mg seraquel to 300. And decrease the Kolonopin by .5mg. I will cut down the Kolonopin but too afraid to cut the Seraquel.
