> During this time, I have been functionable ( went skiing, moved into a new office.) The first couple 2-3 days I slept more and was able to not work as much, not because I couldnt, but because I wanted to give myself that care. Withdrawl symptoms? barely, some head twinges (others call them zaps), these come and go. Some minor mood swings. Nothing uncontrollable. A couple very brief anxiety surges. So far so good. Will post again in a few days. Renee
>I had no problems until the last 10 mg. Then I took another serotonergic agent and that completely got rid of all symptoms. Do you have Prozac or anything else to help at the end?
