andy96gr Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Hello @Katy398 how are you doing now🙂?I also come from a cold turkey and Im in a very difficult place now. •01/2017-12/2022 ~6 Years on Generic Escilitopram (5mg-20mg) because of repetitive panic attacks and anxiety that lead to depression. My tapering was not tapering as I read here. I consider it CT because of wrong directions of docs, I went from 20mg to 5mg in a short amount of time and then jumped to 0mg. •01/07/23 Took maca root powder for pssd for 4 days only which I think worsened my symptoms a lot.(Not sure if that was the cause or what came was supposed to come) •15/07/23-01/08/23 Prebagalin) 2x50mg 01/08/23 - 05/08/23. 75x50mg 06/08/23 - 18/08/23 2x75mg an then reduced 19/09/23 - 23-09 to 75x50mg 24/09/23 - 1/12/23 2x50mg. 1/12/22- ongoing 2x45mg( on first week of December happened a mistake in liquid I made and took 4 times double dose ) 15/01/24 - ongoing occasional 5mg diazepam for anxiety.

zma1 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The number one thing to remember is that what you’re feeling is just withdrawal, it will slowly get better, time and patience is your friend. I know it seems impossible— like keeping your hand in a flame and trusting the flame to eventually burn out! But adding more anxiety on top of the withdrawal makes it so much worse. Let the info on this site guide you and read some books by Claire Weekes. You will feel better again it just really feels like you won’t right now— but you will feel better with time❤️ SERTRALINE current taper Oct 10, 2021: 18.75 mg dose/ 60mg weight; Nov 7, 2021: 15.6 mg dose/50mg weight; Nov 21, 2021: 12.5mg dose/40mg weight Dec 26, 2021: 9.4 mg dose/30mg weight; Jan 23, 2022: 6.25mg dose/20mg weight; Feb 13, 2022: crossover from 6.25mg dose tablet to 6.25mg dose/.31ml liquid; Mar 13 2022: 0.28 ml; Mar 27, 2022: 0.25ml (5 mg dose if my math is correct); Apr 3, 2022: 0.23ml; Apr 10, 2022: 0.22ml; Apr 16,2022: 0.20ml; Jun 5, 2022: 0.19 ml; June 19, 2022: 0.18ml; Sep 25, 2022: 0.17ml; Oct 23, 2022: 0.16ml; Nov 20, 2022: 0.15 ml; Jan 22, 2023: 0.14ml; slowly decreased over last year to Feb 1, 2024: 0.10ml; SUPPLEMENTS Daily: Fish Oil, Magnesium, micronized Progesterone 100mg Periodically or as needed: Allegra, Ibuprofen, Vitamin C, B-Complex, probiotics, Quercetin, Nasalcrom, Stinging Nettle, Vit D Sertaline Up and down mess: 2021, July 14: 25 mg, 2021, Mar 17: 18.75 mg, 2021, Mar 9: 12.5 mg, 2021, Mar 1: 25 mg, 2020, May 29: 37.5 mg, 2020, Feb 19: 25 mg, 2020, Feb 1: 18.75 mg, 2019, Nov 2: 12.5 mg, 2019, Oct 18: 6.25 mg ESCITALOPRAM (generic Lexapro) Sep 2017-June 2019 from 0-5 mg Final taper: 5 mg > 2.5mg, then 2.5 every other day, then stop) Link to comment
