Re: Tapering Off!!!
Hi, I have been on diaz 12mg day since beginning of November after trying various SSRI's and not being able to handle the awful side effects. The diaz has worked well for me and my GP is happy for me to take it at my own pace. I don't feel any tolerance, nor do I feel the need to take more, but I do wonder how I would cope without them ATM, so maybe some dependence issues there. I am a bit worried though as I have just started CBT and the therapist is not too keen on me being on them. I told her my PA's are still coming and I have some agoraphobic issues so she said we will discuss reducing as the sessions go on. I mentioned this to my doc yesterday and asked about trying pregabalin as I had read some good things about it but he doesn't feel it is suitable for me. He seems happy for me to continue on the diaz and reduce slowly when I feel ready. I know a lot of docs will not prescribe diaz for this length of time or even at all so I am lucky mine understands me so well. Good luck. Kitti
