@AltostrataHi, Joined a group on Facebook that helped With pre-Gabilan withdrawal. That Group is dissolved and joined up with SA. I have been tapering sertraline, but now I am tapering pregabolin. I was getting a rash on my forearms and thought

What is your tapering-related question?

maybe the   Pregabalin  was the cause. So I am only tapering the Pregabalin  right now. I have made up a new signature for my profile and @Shepsaid they would help me post it as I am having trouble changing my old one. I’m hoping it makes more sense.

I don’t have any tapering question at the moment. I’m trying to go slow and I’m going to try and hold longer.

I'm confused, @Pens Are you still tapering sertraline as well as pregabalin?

 

We haven't heard from you for 7 months? What is your tapering-related question?

I guess I should’ve asked is it OK if I continue posting as a member here,

Of course you can continue posting here as a member. Alto was just wondering how we can assist you since you didn't post any questions. But if you want to leave a daily list of drugs and symptoms, please feel free to do so. It will make it easier for us if and when you do have questions.

Your signature is updated. Please note I left your previous notes in your signature (so it's a combination of both your new one and the old one), as the older notes were more detailed about some of your recent changes. I also highlighted your last entry to make it easier for the staff to see exactly where you're at now.

Thankyou that means a lot. I don’t think I could have made it this far without the wisdom and caring from this group. My notes weren’t very good in the past, but I think I can make them less confusing this time. My brain doesn’t seem to be as foggy. 😊

Do you still have the rash?

Not always but it flares up after I take pregabalin. It’s like a blush under the skin. Then it slowly clears up. I have some trouble getting to sleep and usually get 4-5 hours but I read your article on melatonin and am going to reduce it to .25 mg from 1 1/2 mg. And start taking it at 8:00 p.m. I have trouble with the shakes and numbness in my hands. Would that be from tapering too fast?

Please explain more about this effect. Does it itch? How long does it last?

 

Please include your sleep pattern in your daily notes.

Morning Alto, this morning around 4:30 am, I paid more attention to my arms and discovered that they were  red and warm on my forearms but not itchy. I took my pregabalin at 6:00 am and by 6:30 they had cleared up. I will watch them again and post it. Maybe rash isn’t the right word it looks more flushed.

@Shephi, I wonder if the last line in my signature could be changed to tapering sertraline because I’m  going to leave the pre-Gabalin alone for a while and try to come off the sertraline since it’s more stimulating and I may be having trouble with the SSRIs anyway. I’m going to hold everything though right now for a while, I’m in my fourth week of holding, side effects are rough so I’m going to wait until I stabilize before I think about tapering anymore sertraline.

8 PM melatonin changed to 1 mg. .75 wasn’t enough to keep me asleep

stop taking B12 sublingual, had trouble tolerating it

 

It's best to only make one change at a time, including supplements. If there's a change (good or bad), you won't know if it's from the change in melatonin or stopping the B12.

Did symptom get worse after this change? If so, it may not be the supplements.

This sounds like a great plan. I would also stop changing the supplements. This thread may help:

I tried to edit it again and I keep getting a red strip that says that my signature does not meet the guidelines. All I did was try and take the word tapering off the end of the sentence.

Yes they did seem to get worse that’s why I thought it was worth mentioning

That's very odd. No worries. I removed the word "tapering" at the end of that sentence.

 

By the way, did you copy and paste your signature in from another program (such as Word)? That can sometimes give unpredictable results in the signature block for some reason.

Yes they did seem to get worse that’s why I thought it was worth mentioning

 

You may have had a change in brand. If so, this can cause an uptick in symptoms. Holding everything steady for a while will help get your nervous system used to the new brand and settled down.

No, I don’t have word. I May have copied it from my notes but honestly I don’t remember. My memory is very bad right now. Thanks for your help though. Yes I will hold for a while till things settle down. Thanks again.

Just a thought, if you've been off calcium for awhile, you may want to ease your way back onto it more slowly. Sometimes paradoxical reactions or other side effects can occur from large, abrupt changes. Easing in at 50 mg increments every few days may help your body adjust more easily.

Hi @Shep, I noticed from my notes that my last calcium pill was taken March 27. Only been about a week so could I cut the pill into 75 mg, slowly working my way up.They’re hard pills to cut And I think I would have trouble making it into a 50 mg pill.
