Has anyone ever done a med washout? My pdoc wants me to get a second opinion on my meds but he wants me inpatient so that they can do a washout and change my meds. My biggest concern is I am on Emsam and the washout period for that could but up to two weeks. That means I could be in the hospital for a long time. I am hoping that is not the case.

I did this a year ago when I switched to Emsam (which doesn't work anymore, ha). I had to go off everything except Xanax XR. I didn't have to go inpatient and I saw my therapist and psychiatrist more frequently during the 2 week period when I wasn't on anything. I also kept going to work. I would say the worst parts of it were extreme fatigue, hypersensitivity to noise, and I had a short temper.

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