I keep mentioning this but no one's ever commented on it yet.
I found that when I took adrafinil (Olmifon), it completely stopped the discontinuation symptoms I had. I now take modafinil (Provigil -USA or Alertec -Canada) instead & think it may have definite benefits in that regard. When I broached the idea to my pharmacist, he was quite interested. He felt I should write the pharmaceutical company & tell them my results. I really wish I would hear more about this possibility as modafinil does activate different areas of the brain & affects different neurotranmitters than SSRIs.
