According to Joseph Glenmullen, who is not antimeds, 70% of people who cold turkey meds suffer major side effects. And going from 50mg to 25 and stopping is cold turkey.
You think you're getting it over with but if you suffer cold turkey withdrawal symptoms, you're not saving any time and you will extend the misery.
Sorry, I don't mean to be so blunt but I have seen so many people on this board suffer endlessly because they tapered meds too quickly.
If you want to know how to taper Prisiq slowly, babble mail me. I have nothing to sell.
