ButterflyHope: Celexa withdrawal


ButterflyHope

Recommended Posts

I am so sorry you are going through the torment. That's what I've named it, that and torture. You will stabilise. I so dreadfully feared I wouldn't and I did. Though I believe it was time that did it in the end I stopped reading anything negative and read only about stories of healing . I kept and keep telling myself that the body wants to heal.

Yours and the support of everyone here got me through.. I know it is terrifying but incrementally you will get there. Think of yourself as a Samurai warrior in the eye of the storm... ??? You are a hero. I really recommend the Bristol tranquilliser project , if you can get through.. 

don't worry, eventually you can find a way to decrease the tablet form. You won't be beaten. The best piece of advice I ever got here was to just stabilise , make no changes. Remember you are seeing everything through the prism of severe anxiety. The other thing I am doing is limiting my exposure to over-stimulating environments. Resting a lot and spending time in nature. Watching turia Pitt, doing mindfulness YouTube meditations. I'm still dealing with other issues but the  derealization is mostly gone. Willing you on. There's a beautiful life ahead for us.

Just to reiterate , consider limiting your exposure to stressful environments. Don't overdo anything.  I notice if I do too much my dissociation comes on and I regress. I now accept I have to convalesce and spend a lot of time alone is a calm space. You will get there. Also, colallibg the Samaritans has helped me when I was in a really bad space. It's just like a therapy session really.

@Gridley thank you it’s a Christmas miracle! 

 

I'm so glad for you! ❤️

Currently taking Ramapril (blood pressure) 5 mg twice a day

Omeprazole 10 mg AM and 20 mg PM  (the taper has gone nowhere after the first cut)

Famotidine   once a day (and I still needs tums sometimes)

magnesium 200 mg at night

as of yesterday 2 fish oil capsules "EPA-DHA 1000"

 

off Lexapro as of 5/2018  - last dose had been 5 mg every other day for a couple years

 

highest dose had been 20 mg at which point I was diagnosed with Bipolar II, which went away when I cut the lexapro down to 15 mg. 

 

I spent years on Paxil before Lexapro (can't remember dose), briefly on Effexor and Abilify and others I have forgotten. in fact, when I was diagnoses with BPII I was put on all kinds of things which made me feel so bad I stopped them cold turkey within maybe 3 or 4 weeks, thank goodness. since then I've known these pills were terrible and I weaned down the Lexapro with zero help or support over I'm not sure how many years.

@ButterflyHope can you tell me how you are measuring out smaller amounts of the tablet? I'm wondering if I should take my 6mg as tablet form . In which case I wonder if it's possible to weigh it.

@ButterflyHope I wonder how you are now? Perhaps wd became like a distant nightmare. Sometimes I think about the key being in a change to tablets..?? Maybe the liquid sent me crazy too. Who knows, there are too many unknowns in this game.
