> > The so called terrible withdrawl symptoms were nonexistant because I tappered off Slowly
Well, good for you.Apparently you are one of the FEW people who does not go thru the difficult withdrawl. Good for you. You are fortunate, but that in itself does not mean that the symptoms are nonexistent! And from what I have read many of US have them even when we DO taper SLOWLY.
To all the newbies and longtime users of this wonderful med, dont be swayed by the postings of mentally ill people who go off their meds and blame their depressive symptoms on withdrawl or longterm side effects: also BEWARE THE BRAINWASHED SCIENTOLOGISTS who oppose all psychiatric medication based on the lunatic ravings of a dead science-fiction pulpwriter!!What is THAT all about???? I thought this board was to help each other.
Does your lack of withdrawl symptoms classify you as 'mentally healthy'?
A lot of newbies and long-term users have found this board very helpful and informative...with the exception of your biased generalities.
