[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 78339, member: 1233"] Is it at all possible for her doctor to give her a single dose of prozac to take every week? NOT the weekly prozac for treatment, but usually a 20mg dose once a week is enough to relieve much of the SSRI withdrawal. It took me about an hour and several articles that were in respectable journals to convince my doctor to let me do this, but it really helped me. And it kept us from having to hospitalize difficult child for the months it took to come off of effexor. I iwsh I knew where I put the articles when I moved. I don't even have the same computer, so I can't look them up there. I think my doctor gave in because she didn't think it would make a difference. She did see me weekly for about 3 weeks and the difference really made her think. In my recent visit she mentioned that she used the prozac on her own child when taking him off of an SSRI medication. I hope you can get through this soon. It really stinks that so many docs refuse to believe in SSRI withdrawal. HUGS< Susie [/QUOTE]
