@lisalucier the doctors I've seen look at me like I have two heads when I've ever mentioned withdrawal. The medical professional needs to be educated. Maybe they should run a clinical trial using themselves as patients.

Hi Sandy
EXCELLENT POINT!
”Maybe they should run a clinical trial using themselves as patients.”
That’s pretty much what happened in Europe when a psychiatrist who was taking Effexor decreased his dose just like he did his patients. He suffered withdrawals like his patients and soon became an advocate of the 5-10% method.
Take care,
Jake
