Alynna8 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Hello to all. Thank you for this site. I'm sorry to all who are suffering through this. Back in August I was down to 112.5 mg of effexor from 187.5 when my doctor put me on 30 mg of prozac to help with my taper. Over a few weeks I developed seratonin syndrome and had to stop both at once on Sept 19th. I've been going through withdrawal ever since with it getting worse every morning. It is extreme in the mornings now. I found a fb group and started reintroducing effexor starting with 8 beads on Thursday Oct 15th. My main most disabling symptoms are extreme nausea, vomiting, dry heaving, diarrhea, and feeling extremely hot and prickly electric type shocks to my body. Any advice that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. I plan to hold at this dose for a week and then go up if not stable.

Moderator Emeritus Gridley Posted October 17, 2020 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted October 17, 2020 Welcome to SA, Alynna8. Thanks for completing your drug signature. I'm sorry you're going through this. The symptoms you describe are typical of withdrawal. What is withdrawal syndrome. Daily Checklist of Antidepressant Withdrawal Symptoms (PDF) Brain Remodelling It's good that you reinstated. At less than a month since your last dose, you're well within the time frame, 3 months, that reinstatement most predictably works. I don't know how many mg 8 beads is, but it sounds like a low dose, which is what we recommend. Your system has been sensitized by the cold turkey, and too much of a reinstatement can overwhelm your system. Please read: About reinstating and stabilizing to reduce withdrawal symptoms. -- at least the first page of the topic We need to see how 8 beads affects you. It takes about 4 days for a dose change to get to get to full state in the blood and a few days longer for it to register in the brain. The effect should get stronger during that time. I'd give the 8 bead reinstatement perhaps a couple more days than a week before upping your dose. If 8 beads is enough it still may take some weeks or months for your nervous system to settle down. You probably will continue to have windows and waves (ups and downs) but symptoms won't be as intense. Please keep in mind that the purpose of reinstatement isn't to eliminate all withdrawal symptoms (though it does for some) but rather to bring them down to tolerable levels. If it seems you need a higher dose, it will be easy to very carefully increase, one bead at a time and giving that 1-bead increase time to work. Once you found the dose that brings you relief, you will need to hold for several months to stabilize. Then you can begin a slow 10% taper down to zero. When that point comes we can help you with your taper of Effexor. Why taper by 10% of my dosage? It's a good idea to keep daily notes on paper to keep track of how your reinstatement is going. Please keep us updated. We don't recommend a lot of supplements on SA, as many members report being sensitive to them due to our over-reactive nervous systems, but two supplements that we do recommend are magnesium and omega 3 (fish oil). Many people find these to be calming to the nervous system. Magnesium, nature's calcium channel blocker Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) Add in one at a time and at a low dose in case you do experience problems.

AJ716 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Hi Alynna8, I am new to the site (been about 4 days) and believe my situation is similar to yours. I was having debilitating daily episodes of panic and other symptoms for about 22 months and recently came to believe I've been suffering Serotonin Toxicity. Every day starting when I woke up I'd become ill for hours and then slowly I'd start to get better. Next day, same thing. The details are in my intro if you are interested. The short of it is that I am taking a slower route and am not going cold turkey off of my medications like you are. I've noticed a difference and am doing better already. It's brutal what you are enduring and I'm sorry you have to suffer so much. My doctor is btw but I'll see mine in 12 days and let him know that to diagnose me he could have simply checked the interaction between the medications he has been prescribing for me. He's been testing me for cancer, etc and telling me I must just have anxiety/menopause. I've been reading a lot about different foods and meds that increase serotonin. My doctor kept giving me different meds to try and relieve my symptoms and often they made me worse (anti nausea, etc). That said, I wouldn't want to steer you wrong so I cannot suggest anything specific, but perhaps look into any kind of food/liquid or OTC med that increases Serotonin in low amounts . That may lesson some of your suffering. For example I learned that one of the few foods that can lower Serotonin is gelatin so I've been eating that and it has helped. *Keep in mind that I'm currently in the opposite position of you so I am not suggesting you eat gelatin. Hope you find some relief soon@! Cymbalta: Currently 48.5 mg. Previously 60 mg, 2011-Oct 2020. Taper: Oct 11-13 (three day reduction of 30 mg relieved many Serotonin Toxicity symptoms but WD became too harsh). Oct 14- 24 (eleven day reduction of 10%, 54 mg). Oct 25 (began second reduction of 10%, 48.5 mg; holding to stabilize and work on schedule). Zoloft 100 mg. 1993-2000 Stopped CT for pregnancy twice, then it pooped out. Reinstated 2011-2020. Taper attempt: Oct 17-24 (seven days at 87.5 mg was discontinued; reinstated to 100 mg). Buprenorphine: 8 mg (4 mg 2x day @ 4pm and 1am) Atenolol: 25 mg (max 2x day; prn). Xanax: .125 mg (max 3x day; prn; average 2x). HRT: Transdermal weekly patch. Melatonin OTC: 2.5 mg, sleep. Magnesium Citrate OTC: 125 mg, dinner.

Alynna8 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 I made a huge mistake! 😭After reinstating the effexor at 8 beads for 4 days my withdrawals were still severe so I decided to add 4 beads last night. This morning the withdrawal was much better but when I went to take my tiny piece of 2mg suboxone strip I felt mild seratonin syndrome symptoms return for about an hour. Now I'm not sure if I should skip my dose for tonight. I know I need to lower it for sure. I was just so miserable that I made a huge mistake! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

AJ716 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi Alynna, Thanks! It's been an up and down battle. I had a feeling the episodes would get worse again before regularly better and I was right. Just fighting through it and longing for when I believe I can safely make another reduction. I read your other post about taking more beads and your leeriness regarding the Suboxone film. You wrote it some time ago and no doubt you have made your decision. How are you feeling?

Alynna8 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi AJ716, I upped my beads from 8 to 12. That day when I took my tiny peice of suboxone I got the seratonin syndrome symptoms. So last night I didn't take anything. I'm feeling pretty rough. I plan to take 4-6 beads tonight but I'm torn as to which I should take. Alynna8 - Effexor XR - since 2013 up to 225mg.

Jumping around in doses, skipping doses, and increasing too much is very destabilizing to an already sensitized nervous system. You need to give the reinstatement time to work. It takes 4 days for the reinstatement dose to reach full strength in your blood stream and a few more days to register in the brain. I suggest you go back to 8 beads. Too much can overwhelm your nervous system. Hold at 8 beads for over a week. If you aren't feeling better, you can increase by one bead to 9 beads--no more. Then give that a chance to work.

AJ716 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Me too (rough) but even though it's very uncomfortable I do take some comfort in that it's no longer horrid. Also I go through phases so I know what to expect and approximately how long it takes. When unexpected discomfort occurs I get panicky and it spirals. I can sense your strength!! I noticed you had to take a huge leap and can only imagine. And I'm impressed at your accomplishment with your Suboxone taper!! Have you looked into any foods like gelatin or collagen? Jello helped me a little and it was comforting. I'm also looking into Valerian root acid but was hesitant to change anything more. Those are the only three OTC products I know of that are said to counter Serotonin (oddly there are dozens that increase it and many were unknowingly given to me by the doctor which made me worse).

Do you really think I should go back to 8 so soon? Serotonin syndrome is generally caused either by taking 2 drugs which increase serotonin or taking too high a dose of 1 serotonin increasing drug. It is dose related. I had mild serotonin syndrome from taking only 1 drug, Pristiq, at 100mg. As I reduced my dose the serotonin symptoms lessened and then completely went as my dose got lower. You were taking Effexor 112.5mg + 30mg Prozac. That was an extremely high dose of Prozac to add to that dose of Effexor. Compared to what you were taking 8 beads of Effexor is a very tiny amount. When switching/bridging, the new drug should be started at a low dose and then the old drug decreased and the new drug increased at the same time and then repeated until you are only taking the new drug.

I was on the effexor for many years but for about a year this time. The prozac I started at the beginning of August. The symptoms are unmistakable as it happened right after I took my dose of 8 beads last night. The effexor is the only thing I am taking at this time but the prozac is very much still in my system. My heart rate shoots up along with my blood pressure and I feel very hot and nauseous with loose bowels. Only for a little while but still. I was taking a teeny tiny peice of a 2mg suboxone strip like 2 pieces of rice size but have since stopped. Alynna8 - Effexor XR - since 2013 up to 225mg. At 187.5 started tapering in July 2020. At 112.5 doctor added prozac 30 mg. Had to abruptly discontinue both due to seratonin syndrome on Sept 19th 2020. Reinstated 8 beads of effexor on October 15th 2020. Suboxone - started at 24 mg a day November 2007. Now at 1/8th a 2mg strip daily. Xyrem - for narcolepsy since April 2018 at 3.75 and 2.75 g per night. My sons medications- He was on adderall 20 mg but has been of for several months now. He current meds are respiridone 1mg. He was on 2 mg and we went to 1mg approximately around mid September 2020. He has been on it since around May or June of this year. He also takes clonidine 1mg two times per day. I am giving him a multivitamin, omega 3s, magnesium, vitamin c and d3. Link to comment
Administrator Altostrata Posted October 21, 2020 Administrator Share Posted October 21, 2020 You were on both Prozac and Effexor for about a month, August-September? The Prozac is out of your system, but you are hypersensitive to drugs now. We see this a lot after people have mishaps with drugs. Has the Effexor helped at all? If 8 beads is too much, you might reduce to 6 beads. When did you stop Suboxone? Why were you taking it? Did you feel any new symptoms after you stopped it? What about the Xyrem? This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

I forgot about the xyrem. I will run the drug interactions. The last time I took the suboxone was on the 19th and no new symptoms yet. I had been on it for opioid dependency for many years bit tapered down to a tiny amount. I will try the 6 beads. It did seem to help some. Alynna8 - Effexor XR - since 2013 up to 225mg.

Interactions between your drugs Major venlafaxine sodium oxybate Applies to: Effexor XR (venlafaxine), Xyrem (sodium oxybate) Using sodium oxybate together with venlafaxine may increase side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, confusion, depression, low blood pressure, slow or shallow breathing, and impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination. Occasionally, severe reactions may result in coma and even death. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring by your doctor to safely use both medications. You should avoid the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in potentially hazardous activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination for at least six hours after taking sodium oxybate and until you know how the medications affect you, and use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor. Switch to professional interaction data How to Prevent Deadly Drug Interactions Some mixtures of medications can lead to serious and even fatal consequences. Here are 9 ways to stay safe Drug and food interactions Major sodium oxybate food Applies to: Xyrem (sodium oxybate) Food may interfere with the absorption of sodium oxybate. You should wait at least 2 hours after eating before you take the first dose. Avoid alcohol during treatment, as it may add to the central nervous system effects of sodium oxybate and increase the risk of serious side effects such as respiratory depression, low blood pressure, fainting, coma, and even death. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform other hazardous activities for at least six hours after taking sodium oxybate and until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor. Switch to professional interaction data Moderate venlafaxine food Applies to: Effexor XR (venlafaxine) Alcohol can increase the nervous system side effects of venlafaxine such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Some people may also experience impairment in thinking and judgment. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with venlafaxine. Do not use more than the recommended dose of venlafaxine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. Switch to professional interaction data Therapeutic duplication warnings No warnings were found for your selected drugs.

Alynna8 Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 I try to take it so its highest in my system when I'm going through the withdrawal which is the same time every morning and is brutal. I think my liver may be having a hard time clearing the meds. I mistakenly told you August to September bit I was actually started on the prozac the beginning of July. I have asked my doctor to test my blood levels of the drugs but I doubt she will. Alynna8 - Effexor XR - since 2013 up to 225mg. At 187.5 started tapering in July 2020.

AJ716 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hi Alynna, I have been following your story since your first post because of your mention of SS in the title and I am experiencing similar. I apologize for butting in however I've noticed something. Although we are at different stages of discontinuation from our medications (you took the quick approach and I'm doing a slow taper), we share a distinct similarity - both suffering most in the "morning". It has notoriously been a most horrid time of day for me too! Like clockwork my symptoms start at night (but are less severe at that time) and continue through the morning when they peak for a couple of hours, before lessoning again. Perhaps that's a clue? I'm not 100% but I theorize that I endure sharp estrogen fluctuations at night and that it spikes Serotonin production (more predominant at night as well). It's definitely cyclic (daily) but I have noticeable monthly variations as well. *I went on HRT a year ago believing that would help but it actually made me worse. Cymbalta: Currently 48.5 mg. Previously 60 mg, 2011-Oct 2020. Taper: Oct 11-13 (three day reduction of 30 mg relieved many Serotonin Toxicity symptoms but WD became too harsh). Oct 14- 24 (eleven day reduction of 10%, 54 mg). Oct 25 (began second reduction of 10%, 48.5 mg; holding to stabilize and work on schedule). Zoloft 100 mg. 1993-2000 Stopped CT for pregnancy twice, then it pooped out. Reinstated 2011-2020. Taper attempt: Oct 17-24 (seven days at 87.5 mg was discontinued; reinstated to 100 mg). Buprenorphine: 8 mg (4 mg 2x day @ 4pm and 1am) Atenolol: 25 mg (max 2x day; prn). Xanax: .125 mg (max 3x day; prn; average 2x). HRT: Transdermal weekly patch. Melatonin OTC: 2.5 mg, sleep. Magnesium Citrate OTC: 125 mg, dinner. Oct-Nov 2020: Discontinued Simvastatin 20 mg, Magnesium Glycinate, Vitamin D, and Chia Seed Extract. Growing sensitivities. Link to comment

Mine starts about 3 am and peaks for a couple of hours in the morning before slowly getting better. What time fo you take your effexor? I take Cymbalta (an SNRI like Effexor) and my Zoloft (SSRI) between 4 and 6 pm, although before the last few months I just took it whenever I remembered. It never seemed to affect the timing of my symptoms (I make daily notations on a spreadsheet and am always watching for correlations). Note my schedule is probably different than yours. It's a mess. I don't fall asleep until about 6-7 am and wake between 12-1 pm. I've just referred to the time as "morning" because it's an easier translation, lol. When my episodes started I thought it might be horrible case of peri-menopause but quickly determined that at minimum it must also be connected to something else. Had loads of tests done but nothing startling came from them. It's only recently that I considered Serotonin excess. After reviewing my mountain of notes to SS research it all fell into place.

Please clarify when you were taking Effexor and Prozac together, and how much you were taking of each. My withdrawal symptoms are mostly severe in the mornings like clockwork. I wake up between 530-630 with my heart racing and mild nausea. Around 730 the extreme nausea vomiting and diarrhea shocks and hot and cold kick in especially if I dont take bonine. Around 10AM it starts to slowly get better and between 1130 and 1230 I'm able to get out of bed and I feel very weak and no energy but am able to at least move to the living room. I continue to feel a bit better as the day wears on. I was on the effexor for about the last year this time and the prozac was started in the beginning of July and discontinued on the 19th of September. I really want to take my beads in the morning as that is when my symptoms are the most severe. Several have thought this would maybe help also. Thank you for your help and time very much!

Administrator Altostrata Posted October 22, 2020 Administrator Share Posted October 22, 2020 How long were you taking Effexor and Prozac at the same time? When did these symptoms in the "morning" start? When did you start sleeping on this odd schedule? Please keep daily notes of times of day you take your drugs, their dosages, and your symptoms throughout the day. Post 24 hours of notes at a time in this topic, in a simple list format with time of day on the left and notation (symptom or drug and dosage) on the right.
