Okay so today I speak with the nurse and tell her what hubby is experiencing and she just gives him a 75 mg pill to help. He is to take it for three weeks only, no gradual reduction. I would have preferred he take a 37.5, and a 75, after three weeks reduce by 37.5, 3 weeks 37.5 etc. I am convinced from my reading that these docs are nuts and don't know how to withdraw safely. I do know that three 1000 mg caplet of 277 DHA fish oil or higher taken a.m. and lunch help a lot. I also suspect increasing the B's and E vitamins to be good. However I am not looking forward to this for my sweety. I am on a rampage and want these drugs adequately warned about. I wish we still had a drug person here. I switched from cymbalta to prozac so that I can w/draw more easily. It doesn'tseem to affect me to switch back and forth. I want to get liquid next month and titrate down. Wish us both luck. I am really going to try everything nutritional and herbal that I can. Thanks.
