Moderator Onmyway Posted March 31, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2023 @Kristyb1130, this sounds like a neurological issue. Could be related to withdrawal but if you had no gag reflex that would be very dangerous. Please get yourself checked out by a doctor to see if there isn't another cause of this. Also, please do not start multiple threads per topic. OMW "Nothing so small as a moment is insurmountable, and moments are all that we have. You have survived every trial and tribulation that life has thrown at you up until this very instant. When future troubles come—and they will come—a version of you will be born into that moment that can conquer them, too." - Kevin Koenig I am not a doctor and this should not be considered medical advice.

In the next few weeks I do not have a lot of capacity to respond to questions. If you need a quick answer pls tag or ask other moderators who may want to be tagged.

Kristyb1130 Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 Hi I am still getting use to this group:( its different from FB. Yes I know it’s very dangerous. I did talk to a neurologist she put a tongue compressor on the back of my throat and I didn’t cough or gag at al Then said, your throat moved, your normal. She didn’t believe me 😩 Use to take Xanax half .25 for stress And anxiety as needed In 2020 started Lexapro .10 mg for 3 days. Hospital gave me Attivan .50 mg Then relapsed they gave me Zoloft .50mg for one day passed out 3 days later given Celexa had crazy side effects back to hospital put me on Mertazipine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Onmyway Posted March 31, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2023 No worries about making mistakes with posting we all learn I was just looking up and it seems like 1/3rd of people lack a gag reflex according to Wikipedia. I would not have expected that. I am sorry I don't know more about it. Has a search in the forums led you to others who may have had this over the years?

Kristyb1130 Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 I haven’t found many people with this issues. That is just one of many problems i can’t feel small nerve pain. I can burn my skin and not feel a thing. It’s so freaky I have no hunger, thirst, or emotions 😩 Use to take Xanax half .25 for stress And anxiety as needed In 2020 started Lexapro .10 mg for 3 days.
