Prisqtque is very similar
She's a few days off, came off from 100mg which is NOT a good idea(because she ran out).. ups and downs using 10mg of zac twice a day ... it DEFINITELY is night and day difference her withdrawl is 90% better than it would have been
Was using the zac because she ran out and had no choice but now that she is a few days in and pretty much okay FUCK IT may as well get her the HELL off of the pristiq once and for all... but don't assume you can bridge from 100 so easily with zac because she's also on Wellbutrin so god only knows if that is maybe helping? Who knows. Like you say we need a doc
I am not clear on splitting pristiq pills. I think some have an ?enteric? coating and if you try to split them you'll cause a rush dose all at once... bad bad.. If you very very gradually come down to a low dose of pristiq, I 100% recommend bridging with zac
Getting her in to a doctor ASAP, appointment made - this IS scary shit
