Work w/ Dr!: Termination of prescribed meds should be done w/ the doctor. W/drawal can be very severe! Read this FDA paper please: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/Drugs/PsychopharmacologicDrugsAdvisoryCommittee/UCM172866.pdf Eli Lilly might be culpable so they might help w/ costs. Be careful!
