moonstoneblue Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm in withdrawal from Prozac and I'm having so many static shocks at the moment. My hair is all static too. No one else in the family has it. Can withdrawal actually cause that? 2001 - Prozac 20mg for a week weeks 2001- Venelaxafine 37.5 mg 2006 - Ciptralex 10mg I think 2008 - Mirtazipine (not sure of dose, was the lowest though). 2008 - Citalopram (standard dose) 2009 - Prozac 20mg until 29 Feb 2016 2016 - Setraline 25mg for 3 days (from March 3rd until March 5th). 2016 - 11th March Reinstated 5mg prozac. 26th May 2016 down to 4.5mg Prozac. 26June 2016 down to 4mg prozac. Back up to 5mg on 3rd July 2016. Supplements - B- Complex, Flaxseed oil, L-lysine 1000mg, Iron 20mg. Spirulina 500mg. Quest Synergist Magnesium 150mg, Salmon oil 1000mg twice a day, Evening Primrose oil 500mg. Cipralex 10mg 17th July 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Emeritus SquirrellyGirl Posted April 29, 2016 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted April 29, 2016 Wow, that is really interesting to contemplate! I have had a serious problem with static shocks for many years, while on Effexor and beyond, though I don't recall if I had it as bad in withdrawal. My husband thinks I drag my feet. I have had it so bad that I am afraid to touch door handles when entering stores since that's when it can be really bad, as well as getting back in my car. Maybe I do drag my feet more because of the impact Effexor has had on me over the years, including clumsiness and spraining my ankles frequently because I don't seem to feel the ground. SG Started ADs back around 1995 after bad break-up, starting with Prozac. Switched to Wellbutrin, and then to Effexor in 2002 Effexor XR 2002-2014 up to 225 mg at one point, down to 37.5 mg towards end but back up to 75 mg in 2014; now realize I had W/D as I dropped down, memory very poor about history. Extreme emotions, poor concentration as I stepped back down, didn't connect the dots! Summer 2014 reduced to 0 very quickly, was sick of anhedonia/sexual dysfunction due to meds, depression never controlled if not worse. Didn't recognize WD since symptoms built slowly (thought I had ADD! and menopausal on top of it), starting with severe sweats, very bad cog-fog and memory issues, culminating in weight loss, severe anxiety and depression, panic, severe apathy and insomnia by eight months off. Saw p-doc who put me on Remeron, increased from 7.5 mg/day to 37.5 mg by May 22, 2015; still doing very badly though able to sleep. June 1. 2015 Reinstated Effexor XR 37.5 mg, Remeron dropped to 30 mg PM. Immediate relief of symptoms, like nothing had ever happened! Joined SA and began on advice of friend who recognized it was WD all along! Began tapering in July 2015. Been tapering both meds ever since, focusing on one more than the other or doing no more than 5% of each per month. 12 mg Effexor and 5.8 mg Remeron (mirtazapine SolTabs to make a solution with OraPlus) as of 5/4/2017 Update 3/14/18: 2.9 mg Remeron and 6 mg Effexor; 6/10/18: 2.6 mg Remeron and 4.9 mg Effexor My intro: http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/9313-squirrellygirl-effexor-withdrawal-etc/page-2#entry196679 This is not medical advice.
