I should probably avoid coffee but precisely avoiding coffee got me into this because I went out and simply had two strong coffees within three hours without any daily tolerance built (I think coffee creates tolerance).
Prozac — 40 mg — 6 months — holding | Zyprexa — 20 mg — 6 years — holding | Depakote — 600 mg — 8 months — **tapering** | Buspirone — 20 mg — 8 months — holding | with clinician "If life is painful, start a rebellion and make it good."
Sorry to hear that Wolf! Caffeine is something to approach with great caution during tapering and withdrawal. Coffee not only contains caffeine but other stimulants. It can really affect a sensitive nervous system. Just something to keep in mind for the future.
