In reply to anyone had success going off medications? and...., posted by dragonfly25 on January 15, 2004, at 5:55:58
I recently was weened off Depakote. Weening is a good idea if you are afraid of withdrawl symptoms. I had headache and some stomach upset for a few days, but then I was ok. Mayke sure to discuss getting off the meds with a doc- just in case there is a certain drug that needs weening or maybe the drug doesn't need any weening.
I was on Zoloft, and that stopped working for me. I also lost a lot of my hair and couldn't sleep- so i think I may be one of the sensitive ones.
I'll tell you one thing- now being off Depakote, the withdrawl was worth it- I feel al ot more "With it" than I did before.
> just wondered if anyone has had success completely discontinuing the use of medication. how was the withdrawal?
> and do all drugs stop working? i have seen a few posts about poop-out and i wondered if this is something i should be prepared for.
> thanks
