i am cross tapering off of pristiq and went from 100 mg to 50 mg in a week. started prozac and i'm a week in on 10 mg, just started 20. no physical symptoms besides intermittent chest pain that i already have chronically from my anxiety/ocd/panic disorder that i no longer really care about because no one can fix it. mental symptoms are on 100, thinking very dark thoughts on my birthday today. my psychiatrist hasn't been answering my messages for days – i've called and messaged – and i think it's insane to play around with my brain chemistry like this and not answer me about it. is this normal?
Wishing you a happy birthday! The drop from 100 to 50 mg is a huge one, and the reaction to that makes total sense. Was that recommended by the psychiatrist? This forum has helped better manage my taper and to take smaller cuts instead of the larger ones our doctors normally prescribe.
Effexor — start 150 mg — 6 years — actively tapering: currently at 88.3 mg
