I was coming off prestiq (I was on 300mg and have been for a few years) I was having no withdrawals so came off it quite fast.. i.e. instead of going down by 50mg I was doing it by 100g.. after going from 200mg to 100mg (I took 100mg for 1 day) and still no withdrawals I decided yesterday to just come off it completwely.

Last night had the worst night sweats that I could not sleep at all. And since getting out of bed today I am so unbelievably dizzy - like to the extent I can barely walk straight and a really bad headache has just started.. great

should I go back on it and just take 50mg for a few days and try again or just stay off it and hope the withdrawals pass fast? I am hoping to start a new AD when I see my pdoc on Wednesday and I don't even know if I need to be off the prestiq for a few days before I start the new one.. (I am starting an AD from one of the most oldest groups of AD's..) hence not knowing if I should just stay off it now..

It's Sunday here so obviously can't call my pdoc for advice and my chemist is also closed today..

help. advice please! How long should I be expecting these withdrawals to last and please please tell me I won't be getting the brain zaps like I had when I came off effexor many years ago..

what have been your experiences when coming off prestiq?
