    I have taken Zoloft for years. I take it every morning same time. It helps but it has no feeling of euphoria or craving if I don't take it. I been on the same dose for years.

      Hello Sharon
      Hope you are well.
      Have you ever tried Buspar for anxiety?
      I was on klonopin for 2 years, did a 6 month taper and been off for 7 months.
      Looking for a safe alternative, my Dr suggested it.
      I suffer from chronic insomnia also, heard mirtazapine 7.5mg is good for sleep? Haven't tried it yet
      God Bless you

    I have a question for you. I've been taking losartan for a few years. After having covid my blood pressure tends to be lower to the point where I can't really take the medicine or else my blood pressure can drop extremely low. Times it may be 110 over 70 therefore taking losartan 100 mg/25htcz would make it worse. My doctor told me if it's low like that don't take it. Would I be having withdrawal symptoms from not taking it?

      BP medications that typically cause a rebound phenomena are the beta-blockers or alpha2 agonists, which losartan is neither. However, monitor for elevated BP, headaches, feeling flush or dizzy. If those symptoms occur let your provider know.

    Can you please make a video on how to taper off of Pristiq or other SNRI’s? It’s difficult because Pristiq only comes in 3 dosages and only comes in ER form so you can’t cut it. My provider and I don’t think the medication is wondering, but I am hesitant to taper off and/or switch meds because my switch from Prozac to Pristiq was hell

      You can ask your provider to contact a compounding pharmacy to have it made in liquid form, then titrate that way, using drops or ml.
