Moderator Emeritus Carmie Posted August 25, 2019 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hi Bhasski, Thanks for thinking of me and popping over to my thread. How are you doing? How’s the anhedonia? Are you still sleeping okay? I’m anhedonic most of the time but I just keep making myself do things that I love even if I can’t feel intense joy. One day at a time, does it. Sending hugs🤗 Been on APs, benzos, ADs and opiates, all for chronic pain. Had severe Akathisia in the past that made me suicidal.

bhasski Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 I am not able to sleep at night .. Its already past 1 am . I tried and went to bed at 10pm.. laid down there for an hour, then all mental patience lost . Why can't I sleep ? Also I can't digest food.. I tried avoiding gluten to see things get better , no they doesn't. I am avoiding dairy ... Someone sold some supplements to me... I took them for 3 days and my sleep gone after that. There are people out there who take advantage when you are miserable and desperate and I always get bluffed by them. Still left leg is more restless. When will it go? I wanted to come here only to report some positives, but I rarely do feel any. So I avoid. But now I am.frustrated to the brink. 08/13 - 01/14Olanzapine, petril MD (Clonazepam ), Dicorate ER (divalproex).

bhasski Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hi @Altostrata , @rupa, @brassmonkeyand everyone here who supported me in this hell. Still not posting as a success but many positives that came by time and off all meds. Positives: I am now able to sleep, feel less anxious, go to shop almost daily - 10 hrs, talk with people ( still something missing, but less anxious), manage business affairs ( money procurement , sales) , less anger and rage issues ... I watch little TV .. little music This definitely means now I have energy... akathisia part is minimal, lesser racing thoughts... I can eat better ... digest better ( 5 indian breads daily with vegs )vegs. I am sorry I didn't come early but there were dark periods ... And I want to remain away from recurrent reminder of my condition. To tell, I wasn't idle all this time, trying different diets, therapies to pass time and have hope. All positives said, NEGATIVEs are also there, that I am working upon .. I still feel tired mentally, memory still not good, pssd is there, lack of positive emotions .. tired on waking up, sinus issues .. Its a long journey and I feel there's still a lot to heal on emotional side. But this is better and it feels better to be with daily people. Thank you all.

rupa Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 @bhasski Wow,what a beautiful update dear bhasski...! If sleep gets little better,it's the indication,we are at the last stage of full recovery. Sinus can be treated with good pulmonology or ENT physician. My son who is almost at your age , got cured from sinus. My common cold goes every time with 7 days of simple levocetrezine. So much happy to see your progress bhasski. Please keep healing. Awaiting for your success story. Cold turkeyed risperidone (1m.g)and trihexyphenidyl combination drug out of ignorance,In August 2016 after one month use. Withdrawal symptoms settled at dreamful,disturbing sleep. Thus introduced to olanzapine for sleep.Started using olanzapine out of ignorance. Tapering olanzapine 10 m.g from February 2017.

Almost no symptoms and sleep is better,So started 0.5 ml from 17-12-2018. "0"from31-12-18.Re birth happened from 10- 2020,as rejuvenation took whole2019.Completely recovered now. Link to comment
Moderator brassmonkey Posted August 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2021 So glad to hear that you are doing better. Keep up the god work and things should improve even more. 20 years on Paxil starting at 20mg and working up to 40mg. Sept 2011 started 10% every 6 weeks taper (2.5% every week for 4 weeks then hold for 2 additional weeks), currently at 7.9mg. Oct 2011 CTed 15oz vodka a night, to only drinking 2 beers most nights, totally sober Feb 2013. Since I wrote this I have continued to decrease my dose by 10% every 6 weeks (2.5% every week for 4 weeks and then hold for an additional 2 weeks). I added in an extra 6 week hold when I hit 10mg to let things settle out even more. When I hit 3mgpw it became hard to split the drop into 4 parts so I switched to dropping 1mgpw (pill weight) every week for 3 weeks and then holding for another 3 weeks. The 3 + 3 schedule turned out to be too harsh so I cut back to dropping 1mgpw every 4 weeks which is working better. Final Dose 0.016mg. Current dose 0.000mg 04-15-2017 "It's also important not to become angry, no matter how difficult life is, because you can loose all hope if you can't laugh at yourself and at life in general."

Maybe it is not perfect but it is getting there. I was told patience is the key. I wondered it the Ayurveda helped you? I have nothing to pin point except being off drugs .. Ayurveda, homeopathy, diet, protein - all helped in passing off time and being distract or some way or other. 3 08/13 - 01/14Olanzapine, petril MD (Clonazepam ), Dicorate ER (divalproex).
