Effexor made me ultradian cycle, and it was horrible. Even if I don't manage to cut my dosage soon, there's no way it'll be as bad as that, since my Epival is actually helping me.

The only time I took it, it sent me into ultrarapid cycling... it was awful. Hope you manage to cut your dosage soon :) Well I’m glad that at least Zoloft seems to be working for you.

I don't agree with how they are going about it. There should be some other way it being regulated without it being flashed on our driver's license. I know when I can drive, and i know when I am too impaired to do so and I stick by this because the thought of ever harming or killing another human being is devastating to me. I could never live with myself knowing that I went out driving and wasn't feeling 100% alert and this resulted in a terrible tragedy. But, in all fairness, this could include the entire general population. What about people during allergy season under the influence of Benadryl...what about someone who feels they are getting the flu and took a couple gravols before heading to work one morning? It is discrimination to type cast the mentally ill. It does further stigmatize and make life that much more difficult. Trust me, I know I have been apprehended by the police far too many times from people calling and telling the police I was going to kill myself. One was a mean prank pulled by an ex, another time it was my psychiatrist having a pwer struggle...the Police treated me like a criminal, not like I was someone who was ill. It was dehumanizing and in my honest opinion, should be illegal in many instances. The plice are not trained in this field and get so many 'psych calls', they are fed up is what one officer told me. If you can't do your job, and don't want to serve and protect people, then I would seriously consider a change in career! Anyway, I went off topic there, but it all interrelates.

(I'm not sure about Cymbolta and EDs though, being treated only for bipolar). Anyway, if he/she is not keen try taking the Zoloft in a divided dose. Hope this helps. Hi there,

I lost my brother over a year ago now...it's devastating... I've also lost a friend to suicide and when I was in my 20's I had a mad rush of death come at me from all sides...we never get used to it... It's always painful and difficult. It's also one of the things that so intimately ties us all together... peace. I’m sorry Polly…
