it is scary because many people, myself included, experience a severe withdrawal syndrome when the medication is discontinued. additionallly, prescribing doctors often do not have experience taking someone off of the drug.
it's like a month of heroin jones, plus other side effects.
> Yea, i am on 150 and I have only been on it for three weeks. I spent a week on each dosage, 37.5, 75, then 150. I am going to my doctor tommorow, so we'll see. Why is it so hard to get off of, why is it such a scary drug? kind of freaks me out
