coming off lofepramine

[HildaOgden]

Hi,
just wondered if anyone else takes/took lofepramine?

Have you had any side effects from reducing dose?

My psych says I can reduce it from 210mg to 140mg (3 tabs down to 2).

I've heard it can cause tiredness and headaches... any truth in this?

thanks.

I was on it a long time ago and I don't remember any withdrawal effects at all when I stopped. Can't remember if I reduced dose for a couple of weeks first or just stopped it straight- but it wasn't a long drawn out process.
Hopefully you'll be OK

I stopped about 3 years ago, straight and had no side effects. But I was on a low dose.

THanks, think I'll give the lower dose a try
