no lasting damage i hope, i have reduced my med recently and i have noticed these withdrawals and i think they are a huge barrier to getting better and bc the symptoms of withdrawal can cause a relapse it makes it even harder to reduce and hopefully come off meds at some point, its good to e aware of this though and just recognise what it is so you are prepared for it, the trouble is you have to recognise your mental illness symptoms and try to establish what is happening, withdrawals or returning symptoms,

i'm doing ok at the moment and i can recognise the difference, i know i am getting withdrawals and so far no symptoms of my mi, they really should research withdrawal symptoms and i think something should be developed to help with withdrawals as well.
