Overall my appointement went a lot better then last time.
It reduced my appetite and migraines significantly so I was always binging and purging and having headaches when I first stopped, but now I’m back to “normal migraine schedule” and only b/p when triggered. It wasn’t like “legitimate withdrawals” though, just my original symptoms coming back harder than baseline. But I was on a lower dose too (just 50mg)
