Getting off is never easy. I got alarmed by the slightest negative feeling ... .
But with the help of my neurologist, I was able to stay off for at least 2 years. I was taking Prozac then.
I have also been on Effexor, but I got so much weight in no time; so I switched to "SERLAIN". No side effects now.

That tip about B-complex sounds very promising! I will talk about it to my doc next time!
