so i was on Pexeva for about
7 months. it was great! i was feeling NORMAL. so i decided to get off it to have another baby.........not sure it was the best choice. i am having horrible withdrawal effects!! i started lowering dose about
3 weeks ago.......maybe i should've extended it longer, but i did what i could with the supply i was given.......i was on 30mg. my doc gave me 7 20mg and told me to bring it down to 10mg with those.....since i had the 30.....and what seemed to me not enough 20, i cut my 30 in half for 15 b4 i took the 10..........everything was fine until i finished and had no more..........it was so bad that i thought at one point i had a pinched nerve or something! so i called my doc and she said it was side effects..........and she sent me 5 pills of 10 and told me to cut them....so i took a 10 whole....cut the rest......it was still bad so i cut my last one to make it 2.5mg to see if it would help.......IT DIDN'T! yesterday was the first day of taking nothing again and i'm back to feeling the same or worse than i did b4 she sent me the 10mg......so i feel it was just a waisted week and now it will take longer to feel better! i have severe dizziness, nausea, back pain, headache, and my eyes roll around all weird every time i look at something else.
i read an old post about
this and someone said it lasted about
8 weeks! i can't deal with this for 8 weeks! i'm back to crying for any little thing and i have to lay down in order to feel somewhat better.....not easy with an energetic 2 year old! this sux so bad! i don't think i will be getting back on this medication............it helped me soooooo much, but i really don't want to put myself thru this again! i wish i would've known this b4 i started the med......i could've tried a different one or alternative.
anyone else having withdrawal symptoms.....or anyone who knows how to make it be not so bad??
