Right now I am paddling like crazy waiting for that wave to come--the right wave--but if I stop and go back to shore I won't know if I can handle the right wave!! You see right now I am weaning off of one medication while starting to take two new medications!! And there is no guarantee that these two medications will be what works for me!! The medication that no longer helps me is a hard one to get off of!!! I'm sure everyone can relate and even tell me nightmare stories about medication changes!! So I am paddling, paddling, paddling!!

Hi Btdx3 , people will react different to stopping and starting meds. If you are under supervision of a doctor keep close contact with him and report any side effects.
Good luck !
I had to do that too. I had to be really patient with myself. I didnt have withdrawal symptoms at all coming down from the med but I did have side effects from getting on the new med while I waited for it to build in my system.
I just want to say that all this waiting is worth it. I completely understand the paddling.
Hang in there. Be patient with yourself It'll work out
