vjiyrfjkutf Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Hi, I have CT escitalopram 15 mg 6 months ago and rx ulti 2 mg 1 month ago i was feeling worse with shallow breathing and slow and reinstated rx ulti for 1 mg for 3 days then 2 mg now i am on rx ulti since 4 days. My symptoms have lowered but i have this shallow breathing and slow with fatigue and sometimes i wake up during the night 1 time.It's like i forget to breath sometimes and i'm to focused on it. Sometimes it feels like i stop breathing when i am falling asleep. I have had other symptoms 1 months ago muscle stiffness, chest tightness, high bp, stomach pain, pain in all body, headaches. Now i have this problem with breathing and sometimes i get stomach pain and pain all my body.Now i can't sleep because it feels like i stop breathing when i am falling asleep, do i need to go to ER? Will i heal? Edited August 19, 2023 by manymoretodays name to title, moved from SS Link to comment
vjiyrfjkutf Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hi, i was on escitalopram 15 mg and rx ulti 2 mg 6 months ago i got off escitalopram at 10 mg CT i started experiencing withdrawal symptoms brain zaps, muscle cramps, tremors, pssd, tired and other symptoms i continued with rx ulti on and off when i cold turkey 1 month ago and i started experiencing symptoms like shallow breathing muscle stiffness and difficulty swallowing. 10 days ago i was admitted to a psychiatric hospital and they gave me for 6 days 2 mg of lorazepam then for 2 days i got to 1.5 mg for other 2 days to 1.0 mg and the last dose was 0.5 mg was yesterday and they told me that i can stop lorazepam. Now i had 3 electric shocks on my neck and some in my body like muscle tremors but i had these muscle tremors like 2 days ago and some pain in my muscle. 5 days ago i reinstated rx ulti before 1 mg and then they got me to 2 mg, my breathing sometimes gets a little bit better i dont have muscle stiffness and sometimes i am sleepy and my breathing is shallow, but i am starting to feel a little bit better i don't know i hope so. What can i do? Do i need to be worried about the 3 electric shocks in my neck? What are these symptoms? I am afraid Thanks Link to comment
