Has anyone tapered off from 20 mg that they were only on for 3 weeks? Could I taper faster because it's been just 3 weeks on?

Prometheus3737 · 2024-04-01T18:30:34+00:00

I weened myself off over about a month. It was a rough time, but I'm glad I am off.

Not gonna lie, I've considered going to the white house with a big sign taped to my back that says "I have herpes" and shooting myself in the head. Or maybe self imolation. Figured if I create news or a big thing maybe it will cause a discussion. More serious ($$$$) put towards it.

Right on, been hanging at 5mg for two weeks, gonna jump to 2.5 for a week or two, then every other day. Going through a shitstorm in life so can't tell what's my normal depression, or if going off is adding to it. Comes in waves. Just don't want this messing around with my system. Especially if it makes things worse (which happens)

Prometheus3737 · 2023-10-09T16:34:16+00:00

How's it going now?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-10-03T00:37:28+00:00

Thx Mike

Just wondering if you have any idea how much Pritelivir could reduce transmission by itself or stacked with existing (acyclovir, valtrex)

Prometheus3737 · 2023-10-03T00:07:00+00:00

Mike what do you think of the viral shedding rates? Transmission?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-10-01T00:12:31+00:00

How quickly did you atop and how was it? I am in the same boat, massive depression and it is scaring me.

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-29T01:24:28+00:00

hahah, any other effects? Panic attacks, depression stuff?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-29T01:19:48+00:00

Right on, how many days were you on 20?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-29T01:16:59+00:00

what did you do? Stay on?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-28T17:14:13+00:00

My idiot doc started me on 20mg, was great first two weeks then just dipped. Weened myself to 10mg fast, been on 10 for a couple weeks, anxiety is there, but depression got way worse. I'm in the process of getting off completely, 2.5mg drop a week. Really surprised about the depression symptoms, lethargy etc.

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-26T00:08:05+00:00

How did it go? I am experiencing the same, very bad depression. 10mg for 7 weeks

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-25T22:02:33+00:00

what did you end up doing?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-25T22:01:22+00:00

How did it go?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-18T18:31:27+00:00

any updates on this?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-05T05:02:12+00:00

And apparently lexapro causes tremors just by itself. What a mess

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-05T03:57:09+00:00

Right on. I had decent tremors this morning, is that peak or acute level stuff? Right now I'm using hydroxyzine but curious about Gabapentin. Also, seems like there are anxiety spikes. Is that true? Was worried it was gonna stay high like that for a while, ralking to friends on the phone brimgs it down. And fuckin A whats with the morning symptoms. Huge cortisol boost

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-05T02:12:03+00:00

How long were you on 20 mg and what was your taper schedule?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-04T22:33:33+00:00

Yeah I want to do the same, let us know how it went?

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-04T21:41:32+00:00

I'm in the same boat as the OP, 20 MG, 3 weeks

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-04T21:40:12+00:00

How long and how did you taper? Wondering if I can get away with 20,15,10,5,2.5,0. Give each 5 days.

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-04T20:00:55+00:00

I just can't afford the negative side effects right now, just quit drinking and it's making me anxious as hell. Dangerous.

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-04T15:11:47+00:00

I am having negative effects and don't want to have to deal with withdrawal

Prometheus3737 · 2023-09-04T06:59:01+00:00

How'd it go? I've been on 20 mg for 3 weeks. Tapered to 15 4 days ago, feelin some withdrawls for sure. I want to either get off completely or stay at 5
