You say you are withdrawing? Has this been done very slowly?

I came off of them gradually, over the last 3 months, I am in the 3rd week of taking none, still feel a bit strange & spaced out.

Hi there,
Yes i was on cipromil for about 4 years (plus others prior to that), i came off them last year and withdrawal was very difficult and slow, i reduced very gradually by curtting up tablets and reducing by say 10mg weekly over 2-3 months, whatever you do DO NOT STOP TAKING THEM cold turkey; even after a long withdrawal i still had post medication problems, one of which was fatty deposits in my liver giving similar symptoms to gall stones, not 100% sure but was likely to be long term toxins in the body.
Since then i developed blackouts in november and subsequent dizzy spells and a whole host of other symptoms common to anxiety/panic,

At the end of the day, long term use of antidepressants in my experience numbs you to reality and kills your emotions to lifes events, i became a zombie, and came to the point of facing the world again on my own.

Hope this helps, if you want to know anything else please dont be afraid to ask.

Hi Diane

Welcome to the site. I am on cipramil, i tried it once about 4 years ago and it made me ill but with the guidance and support of another doctor about 3 years ago tried it again, started on a lower dose and persevered as i trusted her and knew i wasnt making progress on my own. I benefitted and if i look back to how i was i can see how well it helped me.

Love Sal xx

Sal,

My doctor was great too, the cipromil really helped me get through a bad time in my life but now is the time for me to get through things on my own, it's not easy but if things get rough again I know I can always go back. Are you still taking cipromil now?

[Diane]

Good night all and thank you for a lovely and friendly welcome, the site is now in my favorites folder, I will be back x

[sal]

Yeah i am hun trying to go down from 60 to 40 mg but even that scares me but if i look to how i was i know the time is right to try it out and like you say if it gets too tough i can always go back to where i was on them.

Best of luck and here to listen if you ever want to talk.

Love Sal xx

thanks Sal, it makes a huge difference having a good doctor doesn't it, as i said to mine the other day "Thank you for your support I will wear it always"

[sal]

So true and i know i was lucky to find a great doctor in the one i see now as before that it was like pulling teeth.

Keep in touch here if you want to talk.
