Question Withdrawl, What should I expect?

I have posted this thread in two places, as I didn't know which was more appropriate...thank you for your patience.

I have many conditions, you can check my profile to see. It would take up too much space here. My meds are:
Fentanyl Patches 50mcg every 3 days
Effexor XR; 75mg twice daily
Famotidine ; once daily
Bromazapam 3mg: 3 times daily
Gabapentin 300 mg; 3 times daily
Norvasc 5mg : twice daily
Citalopram 20 mg: 1/2 tab nightly
Zanaflex 40 mg: 3-4 times daily
Topiramate 25 mg...1tab@bedtime for 1 week, then 1 tab twice daily for 2 weeks, then 1 tab, 3 times daily.

I am being weaned off Effexor XR and Gabapentin, I am down one pill of each now. What should I expect as the days go on??? I'm afraid...hard to sleep. I am this way whenever I start a new med.

Go to lexapro withdrawals in Featured Conditions. You will experience similiar effects as all SSRI's act in the same way when withdrawling. You can learn a lot of what to expect from reading that thread
