Yvonne: Vibration and smell sensitivity, white noise

[Yvonne]

I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced a vibration sensitivity after they went off or went back on Prozac?  Anything that vibrates (driving, a train going by, the refrigerator motor, Heater going on and off, washing machine) I feel the vibrations very strong and they are going through my whole body.  I feel best at night when I am laying down and everything is quiet.  I also have plugged up ears, I hear buzzing and white noise.  I also feel the vibrations in my ears.   I've gone to an ENT and neurologist, etc. and they cannot find anything.  Also, I have a high sensitivity to all smells.   I cannot tolerate any chemical smells and natural smells are extremely strong and can be unbearable. 

 

I was on 20 mg of Prozac and 300 mg of Wellbutrin and stopped cold turkey.  After 6 months (only symptom was very extremely emotional and could not control it), went back on 10-20 mg. of Prozac only and that's when the vibration issues started.    I also tried CBD tincture and it made the vibrations much worse.  Don't know if I should try to taper off the Prozac or try another medication.  My doctor added Buspar 4 weeks ago and it doesnt seem to help but I feel more tired during the day. 

 

I have to maintain a full-time job but it is getting harder to do so.  Any insight would be appreciated.

Welcome to SA. We are a volunteer run site with members that have tapered off medications or are tapering off medications.

 

This is your introduction page where you will receive information, ask questions and meet other members as yourself. We ask that you only have one page so we can keep all your information in one place.

 

First, could you please create a signature. That would be great.

 

Instructions:  Withdrawal History Signature

 

After you stabilize on your medications and are feeling better, then I would recommend a very slow taper. And since you have been through a lot in a short time, I would not try to taper off anything at this point.

 

I will be happy to give you some information to read in the meantime.

 

 

 

Tips for tapering off buproprion (Wellbutrin, SR, XR, XL)

 

Tips for tapering off buspirone (Buspar)

 

Before you begin tapering what you need to know

 

Why taper by 10% of my dosage?

 

Dr Joseph Glenmullen's WD Symptoms Checklist

 

Brain Remodelling

 

How do you talk to a doctor about tapering and withdrawal?

 

What should I expect from my doctor about withdrawal symptoms?

 

I did find an article on vibrations that you may find helpful to read.

 

 

 

At this time, I don't think I would recommend changing anything, as I said above.  You have started and stopped so may different drugs in a short amount of time that your CNS is destabilized and needs time to heal. 

 

We don't suggest supplements on here except two. if you would like to try one, please try and small amount. wait a few days, and then introduce the other.

 

Magnesium

Omega-3 Fish Oil

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us and we can try to answer any questions you may have. I'm glad you found us.
