I understand how difficult it is to get off some of these medications. I will suggest that you gradually go off the medication in a long time.. Reduce the dose progressively and should it take several months to try getting off, it would be great been how long you have been on it. You may want to try by educing the dose to 4/5, 3/5. 2/5, 1/5 etc, then stopping over a 5months trial period.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you for using our services and feel free to ask for more information if need be. Dr. Ditah, MD.
