Well I am in the middle of cutting down on my med's and soon to be off them I hope I am feeling ok in myself , however not so good physically I know its part of the withdrawal, but I thought its been nearly a week since I lowered the dose and that the withdrawal would have settled by now starting to wonder If I am making the right call the Doctor was not too keen as it is, but I am doing ok hubby said a little more moody and snappy and all but I think that is just all part of it I hope. grrrrr sorry this is more a rant. So how long did it take when coming off your med's for the withdrawal to settle down? -------------

I didnt experience any withdrawal. I waited until my hormones had had long enough time to stabilise and then followed my father's advice on weaning off (he's a drug counsellor).
I went down to half a tablet a day for 2 weeks, then a quarter for two weeks, then a quarter every second day for two weeks and then nothing. I'd be concerned that what you are feeling isnt a withdrawal but an idea of what "normal" is with you off the meds. If so, could you live like that? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Butterfly mum, your withdrawal period is dependant on what meds you were on, it took me about 3 weeks to "come right" when I came off my meds. Give it time, and also keep a mood diary - are all days the same? Or are some days better than others? ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">
