Sorry but I had to pull off of it immediately and completely or I would not have survived . the blood los was very bad and I did not have the luxery to taper off the stuff. My med doc at least is working with me . Therapist is also. But I have been told by the med doc with my history of reactions I can NEVER take any SSRI or atypical antidepressive ever again. It has been several weeks and I have the withdrawal still very bad. Myu neighbors have stepped in though because I cant function. I explained what was going on and they have bailed in because now I cant walk. too weak. This really stinks. I wonder what else will go wrong next. But at least I have some people who decided they want to help and want me around even though I am very ill. At least they value me. The psych doc just seems to feel my health means nothing and it does not matter of the meds kill me off. I guess when next time I go see the psych doc I will take my Conservator . There has to be another way besides these meds to get help with the depression without these lethal reactions . better my conservator speak on my behalf than me . They wont argue with him at least. I guess it is time to do a Psychiatric Advanced directive to have better protection from some inadvertent prescribing of one of these meds which seem so lethal to me. I am just one of the unlucky ones who just cant take them. Real Bummer !
