Well, after being on different antidepressants for almost twenty years, I am finally coming off of the last one(I have Bipolar II and they make me cycle).
Was able to come off the Lexapro in early June(that was a bit rough) and my doctor was slowly titrating me off of the Pristiq. I have been off it completely for four days - yah! I read on the internet that it can be one of the harder ones to come off of because it has a shorter half-life. I am going through some withdrawal - the ringing in the ears/headaches/vertigo symptoms seem to be the worst. Anyone else ever experience this? If so, how long until you felt better? Thanks so much!
