Administrator Altostrata Posted August 23, 2020 Administrator Share Posted August 23, 2020 Welcome, Migos. When did the insomnia start? What drugs were you taking then? Which drug did you go off last? When was the last time you changed dosage, added, or dropped a drug? Please give approximate dates. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

Moderator Emeritus Shep Posted August 24, 2020 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 24, 2020 Migos, please set up a signature so we can have a timeline of your drug history. Since some of your symptoms may be from your previous drugs, it's important to know when you were on each drug and when you came off (and at what dose). Please add a signature. Include drugs, doses, dates, and discontinuations & reinstatements in the last 12-24 months. Also include supplements. This will help us give you the most accurate advice we can. Any drugs and supplements prior to 24 months ago can just be listed with start and stop years. Please use actual dates or approximate dates (mid-June, Late October) rather than relative time frames (last week, 3 months ago) Spell out months, e.g. "October" or "Oct."; 9/1/2016 can be interpreted as Jan. 9, 2016 or Sept. 1, 2016. Please leave out symptoms and diagnoses. A list is easier to understand than one or multiple paragraphs. This is a direct link to your signature: Account Settings – Create or Edit a signature.

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted August 25, 2020 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 25, 2020 I suggest that you contact your doctor's office and get the information, or perhaps the pharmacist where you had the prescriptions filled. Make sure you get all the information. Drug name, dose, and the dates you were taking them and any information about why you stopped that particular drug. Without information about your drugs it is very difficult to offer suggestions. * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment
