Leftyhelen1117 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I am 11 weeks into a four day stent of a Lexapro hell. I have been suffering side effects ever since stopping at those 11 weeks ago. What remains are night sweats, sometimes insomnia, and dark intrusive thoughts. I am set to receive bilateral Cortizone injections for my tennis elbow this week. Has anyone had any success during withdrawal with Cortizone injections? And what I mean is has anyone experienced adverse reactions to these injections because of what you were going through mentally and whatever is going on in your brain as it is trying to recover. I know prior to the withdrawal, the injections always give me insomnia for a night. I just don’t know if I should try to put it off as much as I can.

Kevman2112 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 How did the injection go? When I was withdrawing from gabapentin I had injections in my back. I had insomnia the first few nights but nothing else. Not sure how it would be during antidepressant withdrawal but presumably could worsen or produce some symptoms.

Leftyhelen1117 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I actually canceled it because I didn’t know how it was going to be. I am set to receive them this Thursday. I don’t think I can put it off any longer. It feels like I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t. I think the pain isn’t good during withdrawal so I have to weigh the fact that I need it and hope for the best I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
