[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 911827, member: 43498"] I think [USER=22428]@lovinglife[/USER] said it best but I would like to add that if anyone is going to come off meds the general rule of thumb is to do it gradually. If I am doing this I always ask the doctor how slowly to come off something... usually it is approx 1/3 of the dose per 3-7 days. One med I came off, an antidepressant, I was taking half then a quarter of a capsule at the end, because if the withdrawal effects. I would break open the capsule into a medicine cup, add 20ml of water then drink 5 or 10ml. Sounds like a lot of hassle but if you are finding it hard to come off a drug then slowly is a good way to do it, if possible. [/QUOTE]
