I took 10mg a day for more than six months, and have gone down to 5mg a day and i feel really bad. I get hot to the point i have to take off my shirt, then i get so cold i can't stop shivering. I'm anxious, nauseated, and i would really like some opinions from other people.

Try 7.5mg and see if that makes a difference otherwise get in contact with your doctor trg247 __________________ Major Depressive Disorder With Psychotic Features Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Borderline Personality Disorder Generalized Anxiety Disorder Current Meds Pristiq Cymbalta Seroquel Temazapam
