tsmith442: Fluoxetine Withdrawal

[LotusRising]

Hi @tsmith442,

 

Just wanted to pop by after reading a bit of your thread. 

 

I think it's normal to get caught up in negative thinking, especially when so much has been taken from us because of these drugs. It sounds a little like you're mourning the loss of yourself, which I can relate to. Similarly, I've also been struggling with what I believe to be adrenal fatigue. After going through a difficult taper and med-free for almost 8 months now, the fatigue and brain fog is something I never expected to last quite so long. It's a struggle, I know. It's a very slow process to heal the adrenals, but it sounds like you're headed in the right direction. Are you supporting yourself with healthy diet, light walking etc? I've recently started receiving reiki and although it's subtle, I think maybe I'm heading in a better direction.

 

It looks like you were getting decent windows back in August and September, so I think you have every reason to hope for more. Please remember that all of this is temporary and one day you'll look back and not believe you felt so terrible. There's always a reason to hold on, you just need to find it 💖

It's been many months since I posted an update. I'm only having at most 1-day windows, maybe a couple of times a month. I am still suffering greatly and the windows aren't enough to keep me going. Can anyone provide any hope? I'm 14 months off.
