Hi everyone.
Am new here, and was wondering if anyone has any advice on coming off seroxat? I have been taking it for 15 years. (was prescribed it by my G.P at 15 as i was struggling with difficult family situation and had attempted suicide) I hate the drug, hate taking it, and feel i should never have been prescribed it in the first place. The withdrawl symptoms are so horrific though, that i have been unable to quit it despite moving on in my life and wanting to start a family of my own.
Have got down to 5mg a day, and have recentley started on the liquid form.
Have been told to reduce it slowly, but how slow is slow???
Has anyone quit this drug completely after taking it for many years? will i ever be able to function 'normally' drug free?
Please respond if you have any experience/advice, i just need to hear that there is light at the end of this.
Thanks for reading,
Piaxx
