Thank you but I did not know about the need to taper. WISH I did! My psychiatrist prescribed the meds but never told me I’d have to taper or anything before stopping. When he prescribed he said it was to be for a short time - not long term and didn’t say how addictive it would be. I only see him once a month so still have another week plus before my next appt. I had no idea why I’ve been so sick and my urgent care visits didn’t ask about old medications just what I was taking currently which is nothing. I totally missed the connection and had no reason really to associate how sick I was with stopping a medication two weeks earlier. I didn’t know any drug could make you feel that bad- like dying. The worst point was the two week mark in hindsight. At any rate, and after two visits to urgent care and no answer but an antibiotic passed out to me as a guess, I don’t know that I’d be able to get through without the marijuana. It was a god send.
