As you can see, when I called you clueless, I wasn’t trying to be insulting. It was just a necessary observation.
OK. I guess I was oversensitive as a person taking the drug. I have nothing to add.
Out of curiosity, could you tell us if you’ve used this drug? Or if you’ve prescribed this drug? Any real life experience with it?
I take it. I’m just wondering if you can tell me how I’m clueless about it.
According to this, you can see withdrawal symptoms with an SSRI in as little as eight hours.
This would tend to confirm that, but without such an exact time frame
Oh, and, of course IANADoctor, and am not qualified to give medical advice. I am simply linking to what others have said and make no claims as to the veracity or efficacy of the data. Consult a physician, yada yada yada.
And this has gotten so far away from what I wanted Tuckerfan to answer, it’s hardly worth keeping it going.
But, what the hell, I know how you guys are.
I take the same drug Tuck does. I’ve taken many drugs that were supposed to do the same thing.
I never knew I was in trouble if I missed a dose.
Uhhhmmm, before you high-horse people get going, do some basic med research before trying to lecture me
I did. I take the drugs you’re referring to.
What else?
Gotta feeling it’s you on the high horse, duffer. How’s the view from up there? Gettin’ windy?
duffer, man, please just let it drop. You haven’t had withdrawal symptoms in the short term, Tuckerfan has. These meds affect people in different ways. People have been pulling up medical references showing that some people do have symptoms that fast. His experience doesn’t invalidate yours, and vice versa.
For the record, I don’t recall what my withdrawal experiences, if any, were when I discontinued Prozac - it’s been too many years. Last year, I was on nortriptyline (typically used as an antidepressant) for migraine prevention, and missing a dose produced nausea, of all things, within a day. My neurologist shrugged and chalked it up to the wild and weird biochemistry of humans.
Thread’s done. Looks like a bad idea from before the initiation. If a mod can close, please do, Otherwise, leave it open to show others what not to do. My point wasn’t even touched on I guess
