Tapering off antidepressants

Hi everyone some of you might remember the episode I had last year when I was wrongly advised by my doctor to how to come to anxiety medication.

My partner came across this article on BBC news about this issue

@joy.alliy thank you for sharing the link. I remember my husband coming off some pain meds following a car accident. He felt a bit better one morning so he decided not to take his pain meds. Later that day he was sick & felt really poorly. We got the dr out & he said it was withdrawal symptoms from stopping the meds & that he needed to wean off them. The worrying part of that was he’d only been taking them 3 days and was already “addicted”.

Just goes to show doesn’t it.

Hope you are doing ok.

Hi Lorraine all is well and hope the same goes for you. Slowly tapering on my anxiety meds after my partner has to explain what happened to my doctor.

Hi Anne,

Unfortunately I’m been on anxiety and antidepressants since my stroke over 2 years ago. So now I’m slowly trying to wean off them, starting with the anxiety meds.
