I had trouble joining your blog, but I did read it.
I hope you are safe. I was very afraid of what your doctor did. My doctors have switched my antidepressants in the past; they did NOT simply take me off a drug; they had me take the new drug and stop the old one; did not make me cope without anything at all before putting me on something else! When my psych doc switched me from Effexxor to Cymbalta, he did not just wean me off the Effexxor, he simply said, "Stop taking the Effexxor and start the Cymbalta." I am not a doctor, but I would have been afraid of just being off a drug, like that. I saw the signs of decompensation (when a patient goes off a med and has symptoms again of mental illness) as I read your story on your blog. Hope you are okay. Hope you come out of this alive. Billi

Post a comment over at your blog. I can relate to a lot of what you describe.

Quote:
Someone told me that doctors sometimes need to take patients off a med for 2 weeks before putting them on another one, but I wish your doctor had at least encouraged you very strongly to call her if you had problems. Feeling suicidal is a psychiatric emergency! glad you are okay. I will read your blog and see how you are and follow what happened to you. Billi

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
