I have been taking Lustral for 2-3 yrs now for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and i'm in the middle of stopping the medication. I came off them before after weaning 1 every other day for 2 weeks, and got the most awful side effects... dizziness, crying and palpitations etc. So went back to GP who decided to put me back on them :eek2:
I have just seen my GP again and i asked to be weaned off them again, this time i am weaning off them more slowly, apparently the one i am taking is in the group SSRI's the same group as Prozac... Which had the televised report on Panorama..... My GP says Lustral even though its in the same group has not had any withdrawal problems, but i am one of the few apparently :yuck:
My Obsessive Conmpulsive Disorder has now more or less controlled thanks to a wonderful support group and website. So hoping for no side effects from withdrawal. I would like to chat to people in the same or similar boat to me, thanks. Also any advice appreciated
