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?
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?
