Unfortunately, after reading this website for hours, I've learnt that it is not uncommon. Please know that I am here, thinking of you and sending a lot of strength to your part of the world. As you said earlier in this thread, WD takes faith and patience. You healed once, so your body knows how to do it. I send you a hug. almuPa thank you so much. I remember you gave me courage when I had bad waves after vaccines. It was in autum. Although I was suffering, those days were incomparable with these ones. 6 months ago not so long I was leading a normal life but I was complaining. I am so shameful now because everthing is so difficult now and I can not complain because there is nothing to do. I am at home, homebound, lots of symptoms….What is more mentally symptoms are so severe that sometimes I am really lost. but still here still struggling. I hope 6 months later I will write about good news and remember this day, remember about this conversation. remember that time changes everthing as it changed my life now. 1 6 months treatment of prozac in 1996 (do not remember any withdrawal symptom) May 2017- July 2017 Mirtazapine 7,5 mg.

almuPA Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hello @wanttosurvive, I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts. 3 hours ago, wanttosurvive said: Actually still struggling, unfortunately I am in a wave again. But somehow carrying on. So sorry to read that. Have you had any progress/changes in your symptoms, even if is small? March 2019: 10mg Citalopram April 2019: 20mg Citalopram October/November 2019(sorry, I don't remember the exact date): 10mg of Citalopram without tapering, as suggested by my pharmacist. March 2020: Started "tapering", taking the 10mg of Citalopram every other day, again, following the recommendations of my pharmacist. April 2020: Stopped taking Citalopram. I haven't reinstall since then. I've tried taking Magnesium a couple of times, but I found out it makes me nervous. I only take Paracetemol when the headache becomes unbearable (2gr every couple of weeks or so). Link to comment

In June I started to work again and since July I am in my house living alone. So, that means there are huge differences. But you know we have waves coming and going. On the other hand, I am tired of being in WD. My journey started in 2017 and I am still struggling. This is really tiring. But anyway there is nothing I can do. I think this is about my body. Maybe I am so sensitive. And I am getting old.

almuPA Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I understand that it is tiring to be in WD after so many years, but to read that you are revering, even if is little by little, makes me very happy.
