btdt Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I recall reading about this a lot on another site it seem this is rather normal for me in withdrawal for T to be low and C to be high.. not sure how it all relates to withdrawal but I know I have seen it often enough. I hope things work out well for you John and I am glad you have a good time of day after 8 or 9 that is something to be grateful for. Small blessing are important things to focus on when life is trying. I use to plan to soak up the good bits of the day when I knew they were coming and not have a lot to do then so I could bath listen to music or read and really soak up all the good I could of the good moments. It was one thing I could do to make the most of my life and I needed it so I took it. Passing it on as a suggestion for you peace John. WARNING THIS WILL BE LONG Had a car accident in 85 Codeine was the pain med when I was release from hosp continuous use till 89 Given PROZAC by a specialist to help with nerve pain in my leg 89-90 not sure which year Was not told a thing about it being a psych med thought it was a pain killer no info about psych side effects I went nuts had hallucinations. As I had a head injury and was diagnosed with a concussion in 85 I was sent to a head injury clinic in 1990 five years after the accident. I don't think they knew I had been on prozac I did not think it a big deal and never did finish the bottle of pills. I had tests of course lots of them. Was put into a pain clinic and given amitriptyline which stopped the withdrawal but had many side effects. But I could sleep something I had not done in a very long time the pain lessened. My mother got cancer in 94 they switched my meds to Zoloft to help deal with this pressure as I was her main care giver she died in 96. I stopped zoloft in 96 had withdrawal was put on paxil went nutty quit it ct put on resperidol quit it ct had withdrawal was put on Effexor... 2years later celexa was added 20mg then increased to 40mg huge personality change went wild. Did too fast taper off Celexa 05 as I felt unwell for a long time prior... quit Effexor 150mg ct 07 found ****** 8 months into withdrawal learned some things was banned from there in 08 have kept learning since. there is really not enough room here to put my history but I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things especially any of the drugs mentioned above. One thing I would like to add here is this tidbit ALL OPIATES INCREASE SEROTONIN it is not a huge jump to being in chronic pain to being put on an ssri/snri and opiates will affect your antidepressants and your thinking. As I do not update much I will put my quit date Nov. 17 2007 I quit Effexor cold turkey. http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/1096-introducing-myself-btdt/ There is a crack in everything ..That's how the light gets in Link to comment
John Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 John, do you feel up to increasing the Effexor a bit? Maybe to 7.5mg? I'm not sure if that would help. 3 years ago I reinstated the whole 75mg from 0, and it took 4 or 5 months to begin to feel better. Now was that the reinstatement or my own self stabilizing? This time around I stopped at 41mg, got this terrible feeling, and then added 13 beads, with no relief. Is each bead equal to about .27xx mgs? So would 7.5 mgs be about 27 more beads? On Venlafaxine XR 75mg > 20 years, because a general MD decided to try these new "calming pills" taken from his sample closet because my pulse was a little high since I get nervous going to the doctor. June 2010 - Cold turkey September 2010 - Sudden onset of EXTREME anxiety, constant terror and fear that got marginally better at night. I had no idea what or why this was; had no idea it was the quitting of Effexor. December 2010 - reinstated 75mgs Effexor XR, felt no better months later January 2011 - Began 5% taper every month 2012 - Anxiety began improving by had many windows and waves January 2014 - Fell back into sudden onset of same anxiety, fear as in 2010; realized I was tapering too quickly. I was not allowing withdrawal effects to dissipate before another taper. Began 2% taper every 6 to 8 months 2016 - Fear, anxiety began to wane 2017, 18 & 19 - Constant Fear & anxiety stopped, just occasional minor bouts that lasted 3 days or so December 2020 - Now at ~31mgs Effexor XR, 5mgs Crestor November 2022 - Added 6% minoxidil and 0.3% finasteride topical.

Out of curiosity, what made you choose 7.5 mgs? I'm up to doing anything to feel better. As I said before, i'm getting married soon, and can't afford to feel this way. I wonder if this is akathisia?

Administrator Altostrata Posted February 18, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 18, 2014 It sounds like withdrawal syndrome, but we've been over that before, too. I guessed at 7.5mg because it's more than 5 and less than 10. Increasing gradually is safer than making a big jump. This is not medical advice.

Moderator Emeritus Petunia Posted February 19, 2014 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted February 19, 2014 I have my fingers crossed for you too John, I hope it works. Years ago, my doctor gave me a sample pack of effexor when we were deciding which drug I should try next. I took my first pill one morning and when it started to 'work' I felt very weird, it was like my head was stretching away from my body and I got terrified. I spent the next 24 hours on the couch, I couldn't move. Of course I didn't take another one. I'm not a doctor. My comments are not medical advise. These are my opinions based on my own experience and what I've learned.

John Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks Petu, I need lots of finger crossing! I just can't stop dwelling on how stupid I was by taking these pills for 10 years! I don't know why I did; all because I was a little nervous at the family doctor! I also find it so strange that by 830pm, it almost all disappears, like a hormonal thing. Im also freezing all the time now.

Moderator Emeritus Petunia Posted February 19, 2014 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted February 19, 2014 Me too, everything you just wrote, apart from being nervous at the doctor. I marched in there almost begging to be put on Zoloft, I'd seen an advertising video, bought into the whole chemical imbalance thing and though it would fix all my problems. I've also been through stages where I'm freezing all the time, its worse when it is actually cold, but I've been freezing when everyone else is hot. It will improve..... in windows and waves. Its unbelievable what these drugs do to some of us. Please don't be hard on yourself for believing the pills were doing you good. Entire populations of people across the globe have been manipulated into taking these things, thinking they were curing something. I've just started reading 'Anatomy of an Epidemic', its shocking and validating at the same time. I recommend you read it if you are having a hard time coming to terms with what has happened to you. I'm not a doctor. My comments are not medical advise. These are my opinions based on my own experience and what I've learned.

John Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Can withdrawals cause psychomotor agitation? Because after all researching i've been doing, I saw just now for some reason that it's defined as pacing, leg shaking (me), biting at one's cuticles until they bleed (definitely me), etc. They said it's a common symptom of major depression. Now my question is, i'm not sure if i'm depressed, although I do have symptoms of depression, like loss of appetite, loss of interest in things I enjoy, negative thoughts, and the psychomotor agitation. Yet, although i'm down because I feel like this, I don't feel worthless, I definitely dont want to be isolated (I'm actually afraid somewhat to be alone), or guilty or remorseful. Without a doubt, my predominate issue is the agitation which makes me feel lonely, scared hell, all thoughts and feelings are amplified by 100x. The other day the light in my car went on to indicate the air pressure in my tire was low, and I almost panicked. I NEVER was like that in the past, or even when I was on the effexor. I got it fixed no problem though. I'm afraid to do the simplest of things like shaving, taking a shower, etc., although I do them on a regular basis, and even shaving I dont have to do much anymore since my beard grows very slowly now due to the very low testosterone. Can these be symptoms of just agitation and anxiety/akathisia? Does depression always go away like clockwork at night for people, only to awaken in the morning and start all over again?

alex Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hi John;yes, getting panick for the simplest things is a common w/d symptom.It was like that for me, an now it is gone.

It will get better, have faith and take care of yourself. 4 years aprox. on 150mgs.Effexor for situational major depression.No AD before.Tapered 150-0mgs in 3 months. Tapered Quetiapine,Xanax in the last 18 months.NO med of any kind anymore.First 3 months off acute w/dProtracted w/d ever since.Symptoms:Anxiety,anhedonia,insomnia,tinnitus,PSSD 04/13/2014 Awful Relapse.Recovered fairly fast. 3 years and 4 months off. waves and windows.Very much recovered.

This is classic withdrawal John. I can FEEL it from here. I think the anxiety is by far toughest symptom for most people. The word anxiety seems inadequate though, as it's really nothing like normal anxiety. Really it's more akin to a nightmare or very bad drug trip. I hope things have let up a bit. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. 3 Years 150 mgs Effexor 2 month taper down to zero 3 terrible weeks at zero Back up to 75 mgs 2 months at 75 6 or so months back to regular dose of 150 - was able to restabilize fine. 3 month taper back to zero 1 HORRENDOUS week at zero 2 days back up to 37.5 3 days back up to 75 One week at 150 - unable to stabilize. Back down to 75 mgs At 75 mgs (half original dose) and suffering withdrawal symptoms since October 2012.

I've been trying to tie it to anxiety, but all the anxiety disorders just don't seem to match with what i'm feeling.

Hang in there. That's true about the labels. Whether or not I know exactly why I feel like this is irrelevant. I know it'll go away regardless what it is, because it did last time. Oddly enough, today it's at a lower level, although uncomfortable, and i'm getting brain zaps! I havent gotten them in months. Do physical symptoms come back after psychological ones appear? I thought the physical ones come first, then in some unlucky ones like me a few months later get the phychological ones. This morning I woke up with my shirt all wet. Is these night sweats?

btdt Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 That would be night sweats there is no program really we are all a bit different there was a good long spell for me where I had both psych symptoms and physical symptoms. I will say the beginning 6-7 wks after cold turkey I went to bed with the flu for three months the next three were mostly in bed so six months down had.. gradually .. I can't use the word improving. I can use the word changing as symptoms changed but it was not really that much of an improvement they were still hellish they were just a different type of hell. There are all sorts of ways symptoms present themselves and they will keep changing till your done. Physical mental psychological they tag team go solo mix and match all the time. Just like a rubic's cube. Still love that analogy because it is a perfect fit for my experience. Keeping a fan in your room you can reach from you bed may be a good idea. I did the sweating off and on for four years. One very long long spell of it then mix and match wtih other symptoms for a few years more. I never quite comfortable enough with any symptom to say it is gone. I have made that mistake before and they came back... brain zaps hit long after I thought they were done when I actually did get the flu for instance. Never say never and be ready for anything that is how it went... should not say be ready as your never ready but you do become accustom to not living your own life most of the time as symptoms take over your plans. Or that is how it has been for me. I have become withdrawn and flexible because that is what works kind of works as in that is how I survive. WARNING THIS WILL BE LONG Had a car accident in 85 Codeine was the pain med when I was release from hosp continuous use till 89 Given PROZAC by a specialist to help with nerve pain in my leg 89-90 not sure which year Was not told a thing about it being a psych med thought it was a pain killer no info about psych side effects I went nuts had hallucinations. As I had a head injury and was diagnosed with a concussion in 85 I was sent to a head injury clinic in 1990 five years after the accident. I don't think they knew I had been on prozac I did not think it a big deal and never did finish the bottle of pills. I had tests of course lots of them. Was put into a pain clinic and given amitriptyline which stopped the withdrawal but had many side effects. But I could sleep something I had not done in a very long time the pain lessened. My mother got cancer in 94 they switched my meds to Zoloft to help deal with this pressure as I was her main care giver she died in 96. I stopped zoloft in 96 had withdrawal was put on paxil went nutty quit it ct put on resperidol quit it ct had withdrawal was put on Effexor... 2years later celexa was added 20mg then increased to 40mg huge personality change went wild. Did too fast taper off Celexa 05 as I felt unwell for a long time prior... quit Effexor 150mg ct 07 found ****** 8 months into withdrawal learned some things was banned from there in 08 have kept learning since. there is really not enough room here to put my history but I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things especially any of the drugs mentioned above. One thing I would like to add here is this tidbit ALL OPIATES INCREASE SEROTONIN it is not a huge jump to being in chronic pain to being put on an ssri/snri and opiates will affect your antidepressants and your thinking. As I do not update much I will put my quit date Nov. 17 2007 I quit Effexor cold turkey. http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/1096-introducing-myself-btdt/ There is a crack in everything ..That's how the light gets in Link to comment
mattinsmom Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I've had the rubic's cube experience too. Symptoms change a lot for me, day to day - minute by minute. Once I learned to identify them as being just symptoms things get a little easier to tolerate. As for night sweats, I keep a bunch of clothing options next to my bed so I can add/change without having to get up. When I get out of bed to change I tend to wake up more. I also keep an extra pillow and swap out when I get overheated. I also find that drinking a glass of water before bed helps stop the sweats.

John Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Thanks for the comforting replies. I have 2 questions. Are zaps exclusive to withdrawal, or are there medical conditions or psychological Conditions that are associated with them? Also, I noticed that I'm getting a lot of Windows lately, and my sleep went pretty much back to normal, although I still have a lot of this jitteriness and nervousness during the day. 3 years ago it took many months to begin to have windows. Do you think this is because I tapered and not went cold turkey like the last time? When this goes away and I start tapering from the rest of this effexor I'm afraid of getting this a 3rd time, because I pretty much tapered very slow for 2 years and I still wound up like this, although I did have a lot of symptoms along the way and I probably should of held to stabilize. On Venlafaxine XR 75mg > 20 years, because a general MD decided to try these new "calming pills" taken from his sample closet because my pulse was a little high since I get nervous going to the doctor. June 2010 - Cold turkey September 2010 - Sudden onset of EXTREME anxiety, constant terror and fear that got marginally better at night. I had no idea what or why this was; had no idea it was the quitting of Effexor. December 2010 - reinstated 75mgs Effexor XR, felt no better months later January 2011 - Began 5% taper every month 2012 - Anxiety began improving by had many windows and waves January 2014 - Fell back into sudden onset of same anxiety, fear as in 2010; realized I was tapering too quickly. I was not allowing withdrawal effects to dissipate before another taper. Began 2% taper every 6 to 8 months 2016 - Fear, anxiety began to wane 2017, 18 & 19 - Constant Fear & anxiety stopped, just occasional minor bouts that lasted 3 days or so December 2020 - Now at ~31mgs Effexor XR, 5mgs Crestor November 2022 - Added 6% minoxidil and 0.3% finasteride topical.

I'll I try having ice water next to me upon wakening. I usually get the sweats early mornings. I am in the last few days. It seems to be ramping up my windows. Every night after 830 until I wake up is one big window, and every few days I get a few hrs during the day. I never had the anxiety like you had before Effexor, I was put on it because my pulse was a little high because I was nervous going to a dr for a physical. But if youre only on 44.5mgs for 13 months and you havent got it now, remember that most peoples original conditions return within a few months of being off it.

Meimeiquest Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Wasn't your original condition being a little nervous at the doctor's office? I'll bet you are much more prepared to handle that now . 1st round Prozac 1989/90, clear depression symptoms. 2nd round Prozac started 1999 when admitted to dr. I was tired. Prozac pooped out, switch to Cymbalta 3/2006. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder due to mania 6/2006--then I was taken abruptly off Cymbalta and didn't know I had SSRI withdrawal. Lots of meds for my intractable "bipolar" symptoms. Zyprexa started about 9/06, mostly 5mg. Tapered 4/12 through12/29/12 Wellbutrin. XL 300 mg started 1/07, tapered 1/18/13 through 7/8/13 Oxazepam mostly continuously since 6/06, 30mg since 12/12, tapered 1.17.14 through 8.26.15 11/06 Lithium 600mg twice daily, 2.2.14 400mg TID DIY liquid, 2.12.14 1150mg, 3.2.14 1100mg, 3.18.14 1075mg, 4/14 updose to 1100mg, 6.1.14 900 mg capsules 7.8.14 810mg, 8.17.14 725mg, 8.24.24 700mg...10.22.14 487.5mg, 3.9.15 475mg, 4.1.15 462.5mg 4.21.15 450mg 8.11.15 375mg, 11.28.15 362.5mg, back to 375mg four days later, 3.4.16 updose to 475 (too much going on to risk trouble) 9/4/13 Toprol-XL 25mg daily for sudden hypertension, tapered 11.12.13 through 5.3.14, last 10 days or so switched to atenolol 7.4.14 Started Walsh Protocol 56 years old Link to comment

Administrator Altostrata Posted February 22, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 22, 2014 My apologies, it looked like you were saying something else. When you experience withdrawal syndrome or any severe adverse effect from a psychiatric drug, your nervous system may be sensitized to any other drug that affects the nervous system. You would be wise to learn non-drug ways to cope with symptoms, those skills will help you deal with your "own" anxiety if that should recur. It's likely you won't be able to count on taking a pill to help. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

btdt Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I did not know what anxiety or true depression were until after I took an antidepressant now I could write a couple of books about both or either... and few other psychiatric diagnoses as well. For my money the drugs cause this, I am not the only one who thinks so.
