Administrator Altostrata Posted September 15, 2019 Administrator Share Posted September 15, 2019 We can't really look at your daily symptom pattern for withdrawal symptoms until you finish taking the antibiotic.

Please include in notes. I have included in notes . As I’m unsure whether it is anxiety or Akathisia I write anxious . This is in my notes recorded quite a few times on waking. On waking it can be there or just after waking and getting up. Prior to taking morning Paxil dose. It can then re appear early afternoon for a couple of hours . Around 1pm . The reason I’m not convinced it’s akathesia is that I can get it come on if I feel particularly anxious. Say if I’m meeting a friend or going out for lunch.

Longroadhome Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 I was wondering if anyone had the same problem I’ve had the last few weeks that I think is due to WD and histamine intolerance that maybe could give me some advice. I’ve developed an itchy rash on my tummy and back that seems to be worse of an evening regarding intense scratch/itch. The bumps develop small sores because of the continual scratching . I’m thinking it’s a histamine intolerance but I don’t know. Has anyone had the same and if so what helped? Nov 2018 Pregabalin 2x50 mg a day to help with Paxil WD.

Sottana Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 How are you LRH? I love your name, by the way. It just occurred to me how much I like it for our unique situation. 2008: start Lexapro 10 mg which is quickly upped to 20 mg. 2008:2013 try at least four individual times to get off Lexapro, never get lower than 5mg, settle at 15 mg. 2015: again, attempt to get off Lexapro and get to 5 mg. After 6 months, feel i'm stabilizing but go back on a higher dose because of one stressful event. 2016: go to 20 mg from 15 mg due to work stresses, hit severe tolerance for the first time and become very suicidal. 2016-2017: try viibryd and cymbata in an attempt to feel better. Also add Lamictal 150 at some point. 2017: eventually land on paxil 37.5 and Lamictal 150. January 2018: cut paxil to 25. April-July 2018: reduce Lamictal in 50 mg increments till im off August. 2018: reduce paxil to 20 mg. december 2018: dropped Paxil to 18 mg, SEVERE CRASH. March updosed to 20 mg April 11: dropped to 19.4 mg due to akathsia (still experiencing akathsia symptoms from updose) April 20: 19 mg Paxil May 4: 18.7 Paxil July 5: 18.2 July 12: 17.8 Aug 19: 17.5 Aug 26: 17.3 Oct 20: 17.1 Nov 3: 16.9, 8/17/20: 16.6 after nine month hold, 8/24/20: 16.4, 8/31/20:16.2, 9/14/2020: 16.0, 9/21/20: 15.8, 9/28/20: 15.6, 10/19/20:15.4, 10/26/20: 15.2, 11/2/20: 15.1, 11/7/20: 14.8, 3/6/2-: 14.5, 3/20/20: 14.3, 4/3/20: 13.9, 4/10/2021: 13.7. 4/21/21: 13.5, 5/5/2021: 13.1, 12.2 8/12/2021 (slowly microtapered to this number.

Longroadhome Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Hello Adili thank you chose because it certainly is a loooooong journey!!! I’m doing ok considering my fast initial taper in Feb of Paxil followed by too fast tapering of pregabalin and then my cold turkey for three days from all meds in July. Such a foolish thing to do. Have remained steadfast from July on 8mg paxil 50mg pregabalin Small amounts Staying put until I stabilise however long this takes. I have many symptoms at the moment and feel I put myself into protracted WD with the messing around of meds in July . How are you and how is the taper going ?

Longroadhome Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Happy New Year @Altostrata I wanted to ask your advice. I have remained steadfast for 5 months on 8mg Paxil taken at 8am daily and 2x25mg Pregabalin 25mg at 10am and 25mg taken at 4pm. I have not stabilised from jumping off my meds for a few days in July last year. Still very much symptomatic. On 20th December I flew with my family to New York . 5 hour difference from UK . Accommodated with meds by slowly adjusting to take 1.5 hours later (uk time) meaning while in the States I took Paxil at 4:30am each morning their time and pregabalin at 6.30am and 12 30 midday. I was there for two weeks. On the second day there I started to have new symptoms appear . This being dizziness a floaty feeling like on a boat and difficulty keeping my balance. Just prior to these new symptoms I had severe muscle cramps headache and slight dizziness. my question is had I gone into a wave.and Could this have been caused by moving the time of my medication or was this just coincidence? I was also stressed about being unwell while there so this could have contributed. these symptoms have carried on since my return home and medication resumed to normal times. is it just a matter of waiting it out to settle down ? I would appreciate your views thank you LRH Nov 2018 Pregabalin 2x50 mg a day to help with Paxil WD.
