Hello Shep,

 

6 hours ago, Shep said:

 

Do you think you would feel better taking it once or twice a day instead of 3 times a day?

 

If so, you could gradually move the dose to the night time. We recommend moving gradually, one hour per day over several days. Moving only one hour per day is gentle on the nervous system.

 

 

It's okay to stay on the same dose of benzo for more than 30 days.  Keep in mind that withdrawal symptoms may be more severe than tolerance symptoms. So tapering too soon can make you worse than holding at the same dose.

 

I regret to not have started with twice a day one year ago. But now, I don't know if I would feel better with twice. I think m'y body and my brain are used to 3/day. I think the most important is to stabilise me first and I have important doses of benzo. I think is more carefull not to change for time.

I didn't know your méthod for 3 too 2, but another : very gradually   move 0,25 mg of the dose of 3pm on 9 am and 0,25 to 9 PM a week. Some people move just 0,125 mg on morning and 0,125 mg the evening, or less. I have seen a lot of succèss with this méthod.

 

For the same dose of benzo... I understand. I dont want to tapering to soon. ;)

I give you an exemple : If I taper 1,5%/ 21 days (always current dose) : for one year : 14,25 mg to 10,855 mg prazepam (- 3,395 mg).

For 1,5%/ 28 j : 14,25 mg to 11,53 mg for one year. (- 2,72 mg). Is it a lot?

 

I think my withdrawal symptôms are for most of them the résultats of my recently hard taper of my antidepressant. But maybe I'm wrong?

 

I think is more carefull not to change anything for the benzo for now?

What do you think about it?

 

I feel a little better today, but wait and sée.. Less dépressive but very anxious.

 

Thank you very much Shep, I know you have a lot to do on the forum. I hope is sunny at home in US, if it isn't I send you sun from France. 

 

Vega.

Maybe one day we Will be able To translate all the precious infos of this board To help French people  😇

 

 

Oh that would be wonderful! It would be so great to have multiple language moderators and translators to help people from all over. We get so many visitors from other countries and I feel bad that it's all in English.

Started on Prozac and Xanax in 1992 for PTSD after an assault. One drug led to more, the usual story. Got sicker and sicker, but believed I needed the drugs for my "underlying disease". Long story...lost everything. Life savings, home, physical and mental health, relationships, friendships, ability to work, everything. Amitryptiline, Prozac, bupropion, buspirone, flurazepam, diazepam, alprazolam, Paxil, citalopram, lamotrigine, gabapentin...probably more I've forgotten. 

Started multidrug taper in Feb 2010.  Doing a very slow microtaper, down to low doses now and feeling SO much better, getting my old personality and my brain back! Able to work full time, have a full social life, and cope with stress better than ever. Not perfect, but much better. After 23 lost years. Big Pharma has a lot to answer for. And "medicine for profit" is just not a great idea.

 

Feb 15 2010:  300 mg Neurontin  200 Lamictal   10 Celexa      0.65 Xanax   and 5 mg Ambien

Hi Sass :)

 

Thank you for jour message

Dépression is a little bit less hard, but anxiety very hard.

 

I never had dépression before one month, and the anxiety had never been So hard since...one year, after my third try to reduce short Half-Life benzo (veratran). Since 11 month I  almost never had anxiety, very rare, only a few days and 2-3 hours and Never worse than 3 on intensity.

 

Wait and sée...

 

Good  night :)

Hello,

 

Sorry but the news are bad today.

I feell me very bad. Anxiety and dépression are very hard, too hard. Dispair, cry.

I'm affraid and unable to think of other things of my bad fellings, wandering me what to do now with my drugs.

Upgrade or not escitalopram ? I'm affraid it will worse if I do this. I'm lost.

 

A part of me want to stay in bed all the day. 

 

I will try to wash me and Cook : So, so hard...Not realist : I want to do this, it will be great. But I'm blocked...

 

But, as I often say : tomorrow is another day.

 

Vega

What do you think about it?

 

I feel a little better today, but wait and sée.. Less dépressive but very anxious.

 

This sounds like a good plan, Vega. When in doubt, hold the drugs steady and let your brain / body adjust.

Do you wear a mouth guard to protect your teeth? 

 1 . Ok, I hope anxiety and dépression will be a litlle bit less hard...

Today my back and my arms are burning but I stand it.

 

2. Yes I have got one but it seems not to be good. I can't afford to have another, but I will try again to wear it.

Bruxism, is not the worse symptôm. I think is a symptôms of taper DA, because I had that when I was tapering sertraline and after I didn't have it anymore until recently.

 

Thank you Shep. So : stand, wait and sée, hope and fingers crossed?

 

What about the compléments? 

I take : lithium citrate 1 mg, L-tryptophan 220 mg, and homéopathy (for digestive problèms).

I think that oméga-3 could be a good idea.

Before to take oméga-3, I thought maybe stop very slowly L-tryptophane and lithium citrate.

Do you have an advice?

 

Thank you So much.

 

Vega.

Coucou Rola,

 

Je réduirai progressivement.

Sass m'avait conseillé de rien toucher pour l'instant, alors j'attends.

 

Courage à toi et merci pour ton petit mot.

Hello,

 

I have read this morning the manual of the french forum for antidepressant.

And... I found something Intéressant that I didn't remembrer... even if I knowed that change DA might take problèms...

 

 

Introduction :
Avec les antidépresseurs, il est fortement recommandé de sevrer directement l’antidépresseur d’origine et d’envisager d’ajouter une autre molécule ou de passer à une autre molécule, seulement si le sevrage de l’antidépresseur d’origine s’avère trop compliqué, c’est-à-dire que les symptômes de sevrage sont intolérables. En fin de sevrage, lorsque les dernières diminutions deviennent trop difficiles, il est également envisageable d’introduire un antidépresseur de soutien ou de substitution. Comme relevé par Altostrata (2011), administrateur du forum Surviving Antidepressants, un sevrage direct du médicament auquel votre système nerveux est accoutumé est moins risqué que le passage par un autre antidépresseur [sevrage indirect]. En effet, il peut arriver que l’organisme réagisse très mal à l’introduction d’une nouvelle molécule, ce qui provoque, dans la plupart des cas, de sévères effets indésirables. Il peut également arriver que la substitution échoue : c’est le cas lorsque l’action de la nouvelle molécule ne couvre pas les symptômes de sevrage induits par le sevrage de la molécule d’origine.

Salut,

 

J'ai lu ce matin le manuel du forum français des antidépresseurs.

Et ... j'ai trouvé quelque chose d'intéressant dont je ne me souvenais pas ... même si je savais que ce changement, DA pourrait prendre des problèmes ...

Hi @rola,

 

The day is just bigining : wait and sée. ;)

 

It is sometimes proposed to change I think because a member of the forum has succèss and feel very better since she has changéd, 6 months ago.She has a successfull taper now.

 

To change is a risk, I knew that but I minimized it. The problèm was that the titration of sertraline was not possible for me, and the liquid sertraline is not aviable in France. Précision scale : impossible because the powder of caps was too fine. If it was, I didn't have changed. 

M'y doctor didn't want to prescrive me magistral préparation more little than mg... 

So what to do ? Taper mg to mg as longer it was possible or change directly? I thing I have the answer now, 30 days is not a limite.... :(

 

A question that I asked me : It is saying and writing in manual to reduce 10-3%, considering that 5% is better, bigining with 30 days and try to reduce the number of day if only all is ok gradually to 15. A taper must be with no symptoms ore very small : ok. But why no more that 30 days? It is saying that is a lot and useless, but in the same time it is saying that in tapering we must have no symptom or very small and that tolérance with DA if tolérance exist, Côme often after several years and not 1 month like the benzo. Is not logical...

 

Bonne chance dans ton sevrage. J'espère qu'il se déroulera au mieux. On sait qu'il faut prendre tout le temps dont notre corps a besoin maintenant.

 

Que ta journée soit la plus douce possible. :)

 

Bisous

 

Vega.

Thank you Shep. So : stand, wait and sée, hope and fingers crossed?

 

What about the compléments? 

I take : lithium citrate 1 mg, L-tryptophan 220 mg, and homéopathy (for digestive problèms).

I think that oméga-3 could be a good idea.

Before to take oméga-3, I thought maybe stop very slowly L-tryptophane and lithium citrate.

Do you have an advice?

 

Please do not taper any of the supplements and homeopathy remedies yet. Please hold everything steady. 

 

You just increased the escitalopram on September 28. Do you feel the increased dose has helped?

 Hello Shep,

 

Ok I dont change for compléments. And I suppose I must waiting to try fish oïl too?

 

I feel me a little, little bit less dépressive but it's still really hard.

I feel more and more anxiety : this is very very hard to stand.

 

Thank you for your advices Shep.

Hello,

 

When I answered to @Shep I was very very anxious and since no long time after, I'm very tired, my brain seem's have had an anesthésia, to be in fog. 

 

It will be complicated to explain my day this evening or tomorrow morning, but I will try.

Hi,

 

Ok no lamictal for yet but my doctor told me to think about it.

She think to start lamictal with very little doses and adapt very slowly, and assure me is a light drug and no risk with my big sensibiliy with drugs and that I will feel me better. 

Very little doses is for her 25 mg !!! 

 

I have read was Altostrata say about Lamictal : 25 mg is not little !

 

I' m not a laboratory rat ! And I will not take lamictal. But I didn't say that to the doctor.^^

 

Have a good day

Well done Vega

Doctors always think add another drug and all will be well.

You are doing the right thing by changing nothing and waiting until you stabilise

Bravo Vega

Les médecins pensent toujours ajouter un autre médicament et tout ira bien.

Vous faites le bon choix en ne changeant rien et en attendant de vous stabiliser

Coucou 

 

Merci Rola :)

 

Non ça fait longtemps qu'il est bien malade mais en plus il s'est pété le col du fémur. Il est dans une bonne clinique mais c'est trop loin pour moi. Je l'aide pour des démarches ou autre par téléphone pour décharger un peu mon frère.

Mon père ne sait rien de mon état. C'est mieux pour son moral et sa santé, il a des soins très lourds et pas besoin d'autres soucis.

Pour le col du fémur, il semble récupérer assez vite.

 

Merci à toi pour ton soutien, je pense bien à toi aussi tous les jours.

 

Courage à toi @rola

 

Bisous.

 

Vega.

Hi Vegalia,

I’m sorry you’re feeling so bad.

I read that you have burning sensations in back, arms and legs. Is it inside your body or at the surface of your skin ?

This is one of my worse symptoms, called neuropathic pains.

Quelle vie 😥

- 2002 -> 2012 Paxil, 20 mg for anxiety

- January 2012 : 1 month withdrawal -> depression, burning sensations in my legs

- February 2012 : reinstate 20 mg -> back to normal

- January 2014 -> August 2015 : « alternate days » tapering from 20mg to 2,5 mg -> anxiety, back pain and trouble focusing

- 4 september 2015 -> panic attack, psychiatric hospital for 1 week, stop Paxil, get Clomipramine, Abilify, Domperidone for 2 weeks, then stop everything

- 20 september 2015 try to reinstate Paxil 20 mg -> permanent tinnitus with only one tablet

- Free from paxil since september 2015 ->suffering from permanent side effects : tinnitus, hyperacusis, neuropathic pain, prostatitis, depression, suicidal ideations, akathisia.
