Hello.
I was diagnosed with CPD back in 2003. I did take Effexor XR for it which turned out to be too expensive for me to afford anymore so I stopped taking it. Needless to say, I felt like I was run over by a bus! Luckily, I told my doctor who told me that I needed to taper off of it gradually and she put me on Prozac which I can afford. She helped me to taper off Effexor XR gradually by giving me medication samples and helped me to finally get off it safely. I did have a couple of rocky days but the Prozac did help, so I just take Prozac these days.
What I want to know is if there are is anyone here who has also been diagnosed with CPD. I do not find too many people who have been diagnosed with it, so I am looking for others like me that have it who can share their experiences as well as what they have been through.
