I'm so sorry 🙁 Did you taper or quit cold turkey? Has your doctor got any advice? The most frustrating thing for me is that the medical community seems to know so little about any of this. When I ask my doctor if she thinks this is still withdrawal or if this is my "new normal," she is noncommittal. When I ask if she has any idea how much longer this might last if it IS withdrawal, she can't even hazard a guess.... It seems crazy to put people ON these medications if so little is known about the effects of coming OFF them 🙁 If the doctor who first prescribed me this medication had told me about ANY of this, I never would have taken it!
