ajnjj: 2.5 years SSRI merry go round Off 3 lex months heres my story

[ajnjj]

Hi all.

 

So I had a window !!! 3 full days. Everything was great the only thing I had was the tingling / numbness in various parts of my body. It is really bad! It travels . It's concerning. Other than that, the window was fabulous!!!

 

So now I'm leaning on that window. I'm looking fowrad to more Windows. Although still wondering if I should nice foward with Lyme testing. I haven't done it yet. I'm scared to go to any more doctors.

 

I will be off lexapro 7 months in July.

 

I will never take a mind altering drug again

 

Hope everyone is well

Hi Ajnjj! How great you had a 3 day window! Makes you remember that your brain is still there somewhere under the layers of fog. I hope you get more of them, closer together! Hang in there, maybe the worst part is behind you!

ajnjj, if you have Lyme testing, make sure you see someone who specializes it Lyme. It can be a sticky wicket to find, and you want to be in good hands. I went to the Boston specialist who is located on Cape Cod and she was aces, bounced me as clean in 15 mins. Now that is the kind of doc I don't mind seeing!

 

Very glad to hear about your window. Gotta ride those waves though, just no way round 'em. Never can tell when the surf's gonna be up, have board handy? ~S

If it is a concern....just do it. Blood test and an antibiotic cure.

 

It's better to catch it early.

 

Happy that bettet days have found you

[ajnjj]

Thank you all. I will keep you posted. Hope its just wd. Probably just wd. Lol. I need a much bigger surf board for those waves Shuyler lol.

Well, well, well,

 

My 8 month mark off lexapro has come and gone. How, I ask myslef, am I still functioning? How am I even still alive?

Well, the same way all of you are. Suffering and struggling but pushing through every second of every minute of every hour.

 

I had a great window. It lasted over a week. It was fantastic. I was happy, healthy and appreciative. I was ok. And then I wasn't.

 

I was giving my son a bath, laughing, happy. All of a sudden my heart started going very hard and fast. Then my body started to violently shake. I also got very hot all over my body. What the hell was that all about? It lastedabout 25 to 30 minutes. Haven't been the same since.

 

My eyes are screwy again, ears ringing and really sensitive, pins and needles, dizzy, fatigued and so on.

 

What happened here? Where did this come from? What is going on? These questions I know, we all have. And no answers. Of course I immediately thought something was very wrong and I should go directly to er. I didn't though. Because its just a waste of time and energy.

 

On Monday I will be having a special Lyme test done. Probably a waste but I guess it can't hurt. Hope everyone is better than I.

Ajnjj,

 

I'm glad you had a good window, but sorry about the bad wave.

 

Isnt it interesting how our immediate instinct is to go to the ER? I do the same. Then I remember.

 

I hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted on the Lyme's test.
