Dr. Behrends told me not to wean off my current andidepressant when he started me on a new one. I called him a few days later relaying intense withdrawal symptoms. He told me he advised me to wean off the old medication, not just stop it. I know it was his mistake because I've been on antidepressants since a teen and know how to follow directions when you make a switch - sometimes you wean off, sometimes you stop - I make sure I get it straight. My husband is disabled and a source of emotional pain for me because he is so ill. He told me that perhaps I should consider leaving him. That was my last visit with Dr. Behrends.
