hi
i would reccomend you go back to your docs, there are lots of dif meds youmay not have found the one for you, also you should really ask your doc how to come off them slowly and he/she should be keeping an eye on you through the process..i came off peroxetine a year ago and went down 1ml every week or two so as not to have side effects...have you been for any therapy? maybe you could ask doc about that? best of luck xxxx
