Hi all

I have chosen to come off my anti depressents and I would like to know if anyone knows the best way.

I want to come off al my medication and try herbal treatment, candle burning and this site.
I know that they really help me.

Any advice is more than welcome and thankful for.

my doctor told me the following... I was on paxil for over 5 years and this is how we did it.

Cut your pills in half for about 2 weeks then cut those in half for two weeks and so on and so on until you are drug free...worked like a charm for me!

GOOD LUCK
