"in 3 days, i felt better. titrated to 40mg. the medicine turned evil. my heart pounding with strong palpitations.  as i was falling asleep, had feeling of leaving my body &amp; hovering over myself being awake in a horrifying world that seemed absolutely real. sleep paralysis. dr. added beta-blocker for heart. gained 21lbs in 6wks. decided to stop it. dr. said go from 40-20. i couldn&#039;t do that suddenly-i needed to go down slowly.  i went from 40-30mg. night terrors lessened. went to 25, then 20. felt good at 20; heart calmed down for a few days. thought i&#039;d stay at 20 but then the evil again. 18, 15, 10, 5, 3mg. it&#039;s taken over a month to come off it. 1st day without it. feel down &amp; edgy. started wellbutrin.
