Glad you are managing johnnyAs for mixing the soltab in water, yes i have heard that..
I also read somehere on a site that you can do what they call the orange juice bit.. just dissolve the pill in orange juice(sweeter taste that way, lol) and only drink 9/10 of it.. then do this for a week or two.. then only drink 8/10 of it and so on... until you are done..
As for the drug company .. of course they would be horrible,,, they WANT you to stay on the drug and of course they would tell you to ask your dr. as they work together!!! Its all about money.
Sounds like the pharmacist is right on track with the disolving it..
and as for the drug company telling you that people go cold turkey,, they dont know for sure as they have never followed up on people and of course if you have withdrawls too severe then the dr. just puts you back ON IT and the terrible cycle begins again..keep us posted on your dissolving it trial

The heavy head is not as bad since I am taking advil. The heavier my head, the worse I feel so I have some relief right now. Around the 21st of April I will lower my dose.

> Since I am on 7.5 right now I am not sure what I will do. I am contemplating mixing the soltab in water and taking it that way. The pharmacist thought that was a good idea, but I called Organon and they were horrible on the phone. They didn't suggest breaking the soltabs or mixing them in water. Then, they said just do what the doctor says. They said they didn't know anything about how to withdrawal because in their drug studies people just quit cold turkey and there was no follow up.
