> I thought that since I only took FXR 17 days, that I could just stop it. My highest dose was 75mg. I have never felt so ill in my whole life. I missed several days of school. I wasYeesh. Thanks for the warning! I've only been on it 5 weeks (150mg), and I was just going to try cutting it off altogether this wkend. (for once, my dr was WRONG! she said withdrawal shouldnt be bad cuz I wasn't on it long!) I took a 75 last night and I'll take 75mg every other day for a week and then go to 37.5 every other day for a wk. So far the only withdrawal symptom I've had is numb lips. I'm hoping to keep it that way. If chewing my lips is the worst thing that happens, I'll consider myself lucky. ;)
Cross your fingers for me and I'll do the same for you!! :)
