While I can testify to withdrawls sucking WetRabidDogAss, its the adjustment period thats the REAL hell... After withdrawls, I suffered from ultradian cycling for 3 months. It was gawdawful, frustrating and tiring as hell, but so very much worth it in the end. People don't warn you about it because IMO its the adjustment period that has most of us on our knees back in the pdocs office. We think "omg I made it worse, I cant survive without meds, blah blah blah"... So not many know / speak of this adjustment period.
Yes it was a horrid time while my brain was trying to make sense of things minus its drugs, but I'm glad I stuck it out because I'm less symptomatic now...
I can't tell you what to do, nor do I wish to, I do however urge that you choose whats right for YOU, quality of life is the aim for all of us, and we each have to forge our own path there. Best of luck
