I am puzzled by these postings... I am criticized for being anti med or whatever.. and am told I am not consistent with the theme of the board .. which is withdrawl.. YET i seem to always see discussions about using one med to combat another and another..
so how can this be a withdrawl support board????
Like I said before my understanding of withdrawl is just that WITHDRAWL from a medication.. tapering, cutting back,, getting it OUT of the system not putting it back in..

So this isnt making any sense to me right now


Good luck to all

> That's interesting. People find it easier to withdraw from SRI drugs if they take a short course of a benzodiazepine. With the SRI drugs, I think this has an added advantage of preventing a kindling effect and may shorten the withdrawal time. But that's a personal theory of mine.
