> If you can go two days without taking it you might consider stopping all together. Most of the drug should have left your system by that point anyway.
Hi conundrum, it's funny...I have been thinking the same thing.
I guess I am hesitant because most every source advising on getting off an AD is adament about doing a slow taper.
This is understandable as opposed to the cold-turkey approach, since sudden, total withdrawl of a drug one has been taking for months is bound to throw the nervous system into unrest and instability.On the other hand,,,,in my paticuliar case, I almost feel like every third day I am "re-introducing" pristiq into my system, and I actually feel WORSE on the days I take it.
I just dont know how I would react to total elimination of the pristiq
I supose one way to safely find out is to go every 4 days between doses.I will give that some thought...thanks for your comments
