Hi,
My drug cocktail: 2mg Lorazepam, 100mg Trazodone, 40mg Prozac.
I have been trying to cut down on my meds. First I completely stopped taking Lorazepam, which was easy, thought I'd have withdrawal but this didn't happen. I had been taking Trazodone for sleep, cos I've always had insominia! I thought I NEEDED them to sleep, but I was wrong for the last few nights I have been sleeping by myself with no aids!!! I'm cured ?
Next I am going to try and go down to 20mg of Prozac, but I figure this is a bit risky, I don't want to get depressed..my diagnosis is dysthymia. I have already been taking less over a period of a month and feel happy, but i know prozac takes a long time to get out of the body.
I guess this could just be encouragment for those trying to quit. Although you should see your doc first. I didn't though cos I'm bad !!
Its a nice feeling to feel less drugged up, but I really thank God for these medications, cos they saved me from alot of pain.
