I read it so often how good they are but also how we are so sensitive... Hi Rabe, Yes, while magnesium and fish oil/omega3s tend to be beneficial for a lot of people, either can cause issues in withdrawal because our systems are so sensitive. So going slow when trying them out is always really important. 2020: After 18+ years (entire adult life) on Paxil, a dangerous doctor-led "taper" in 2015, and four years tapering off the last 1 mg thanks to SA and the Brassmonkey slide, I AM COMPLETELY FREE OF PAXIL! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Current dose 47 mg. Hanging in, hanging on. Severe protracted PAWS, windows and waves. While I may not be doing "a lot" by outside standards, things are graaaaadually getting better.

Rosetta Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 K, I think the magnesium might need time to begin to work? Maybe the body needs to get used to having enough. I'm so sad that you are struggling like this. The feeling that you have not been asleep and the gasping for air -- I have experienced both. It's torture, I know. I'm not keen on the idea of trying a supplement with 3 ingredients. Have you tried warm milk? That started working for me at some point.

K Kristine can you explain what this means? I was on Anafranil and had to pretty much cold turkey and I just ran across this. I wanted to reinstate my Anafranil at a very low dose but my psychiatrist will not let me because they think I had serotonin syndrome so I was looking into something else similar to reinstate and I seen Norpramine but that’s on this list too so I was wondering what this meant. They want to try a low dose of Trintellix but I’m to scared so even though that’s what they gave me I haven’t started it but I’m suffering so bad I have literally been trying to call psychiatrist all over the US trying to get one on the phone for someone to give me direction. I guess they don’t want to do the Anafranil because it has a higher rate of producing serotonin from what I understand. Ativan- Currently taking 3.17 mg 6x a day for 4 years currently doing a liquid taper Anafranil- 125 mg was on for 2 years, 2016-March 2018 off only in 2 weeks my last dose was March 6 Metoprolol-50mg twice daily for 2008-now Prilosec-40mg once daily 2013-now Singular-10mg once daily 2013-now Magnesium-300mg 6 months Link to comment
wantrelief Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 20 hours ago, Kristine said: Hey All, The ongoing insomnia is taking its toll. i have increased the magnisium to 150mg daily divided into 4 doses. I am considering reintroducing fish oil tomorrow. I do have a natural supplement for insomnia containing "ziziphus, hops and lactium"...or should I consider melatonin? Aspirin? To be honest I don't know what to do. My resolve to "ride it out" is cracking but I know I have no choice. Any advise would be welcome. Love to you All. K xo I am so sorry you are going through this, Kristine. I have read somewhere on here that a low dose of melatonin may be helpful with sleep onset so it might be worth trying it for that. Oh how I wish you weren't going through this. I am thinking about you and sending big hugs - WR. -1/06 - 3/07 Cymbalta. Fast taper (essentially CT); withdrawal symptoms after 4 mos (didn't realize was WD) -10/07: 100 mg Zoloft; 1 mg Klonopin - tapered off Klonopin after 4 mos. Several unsuccessful slow tapers of Zoloft; went up and down in dose a lot -Spring 2013 back on 1 mg Klonopin to counter WD symptoms; switched over 5-6 mos from Zoloft to 35 mg citalopram -Two attempts at slow tapering citalopram, always increased dose due to WD; also increased Klonopin to 1.25 mg in 2014, then to 1.5 mg in 2015 -8/17-9/17: After holding one year at 20 mg, feeling withdrawal symptoms due to stress - slowly increased to 25 mg. No change in symptoms after 6 months (? tolerance ?) - decided to start citalopram taper February 2018 (still on Klonopin 1.5 mg).

Scorpio Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi Kristine insomnia is awful and I really feel for you. If it’s any help I take 1mg melatonin before bed and read when in bed for about 30 minutes then generally fall asleep. I when lucky sleep for about 6 to 6.5 hours when going through a bad wave it is a much shorter sleep but sleep nevertheless. It doesnt make make me feel hungover in the mornings either so no side effects from it. Hugs 2006 After sudden death of mother put on 20mg of citaloprom for depression. 2014 Drug stopped working after two weeks of panic attacks felt fine. Aug 2014. Doctor put me on lyrica for rash on face, diarrhoea, sleeplessness,muscle cramp, bruising. Initial dose too strong, halved dose. Stopped taking it 22/10/14 2014 severe anxiety after several ssri's attempted, seem to have developed severe sensitivity to any drug, but giving severe reactions put on cipralex drop form.started on 2 drops and had to increase by 1 drop every 3 days. Eventually got to 12 drops and had to stop as side effects every step of the way dreadful. Psychiatrist kept telling me to stick with it and my body would get used to it. Eventually down to 8 drops. Bad reactions throughout the time I was on it Have been on this until may 2017. Stopped over two weeks. Felt fine for 5 weeks after initial dizziness, nightmares, nausea, insomnia. Given diazepam by gp and told to take them when anxiety bad. Have only taken them very rarely as they frighten me. Last two weeks severe anxiety returned and feeling hopeless 11July 2017. Cipralex 2mg. Anxiety, nausea still severe 13 July 2017 Cipralex 1mg due to advice of too high dosage by kind person on thus site. so dropped from 2mg to 1mg and feelings of anxiety still at severe. As well as nausea, headaches, fatigue. 15 July still feeling extremely anxious verging on panic. Nausea, feelings of fainting, fatigue. Lots of head pains 3 August. Three weeks into trying to stabilise on one drop of cipralex. Still have waking from 4am. Sporadic upset stomach. Nausea. High anxiety. Throbbing/burning in nether regions seems to have eased for time being but stabbing/burning in calves of legs. Tinnitus. Occasional half to whole better days but mainly still struggling.

Much Love K xo You're very welcome . : ) 2020: After 18+ years (entire adult life) on Paxil, a dangerous doctor-led "taper" in 2015, and four years tapering off the last 1 mg thanks to SA and the Brassmonkey slide, I AM COMPLETELY FREE OF PAXIL! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Forever. 2021: Began conservative, proper, CNS-respecting taper of Zoloft, led by the only expert on me -- me. Making own liquid. 5-10% plus holds. 2022: Holding on Zoloft for now. Current dose 47 mg. Hanging in, hanging on. Severe protracted PAWS, windows and waves. While I may not be doing "a lot" by outside standards, things are graaaaadually getting better. Yoga (gentle to medium); walks; daily breath practice; nutrition, fruits/veg; nature; water; EastEnders (lol); practicing self-compassion, self-care; boundaries; connection; allowing feelings; t r u s t ing that I, too, will heal.

Maybe the body needs to get used to having enough. I'm so sad that you are struggling like this. The feeling that you have not been asleep and the gasping for air -- I have experienced both. It's torture, I know. I'm not keen on the idea of trying a supplement with 3 ingredients. Have you tried warm milk? That started working for me at some point. All my love, R Thank you Rosetta, I appreciate your support so much. Last night I must have got up about 10 times just to pace the hallway. I can't be still in bed. Maybe got 2 hours broken sleep last night. I'm going to just keep taking the magnesium and ride this beast till it eventually runs out of steam. The supplement is something I took about 2 years ago for insomnia. It's an expired box I found in my draw. Don't even know why I didn't throw it out. I was reading about Lactium on SA which made me think of it. I do drink warm milk...usually with 1/2 teaspoon of honey. I've stopped doing this on a regular basis...I'll reintroduce this as a sleep hygiene routine. Thank you for mentioning it...I seem to be forgetting how to deal with this in a practical way. My toolkit is a disorganised shambles. Thinking of you and sending you hugs.

Kristine Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 2 hours ago, Fightingawar said: Kristine can you explain what this means? I was on Anafranil and had to pretty much cold turkey and I just ran across this. I wanted to reinstate my Anafranil at a very low dose but my psychiatrist will not let me because they think I had serotonin syndrome so I was looking into something else similar to reinstate and I seen Norpramine but that’s on this list too so I was wondering what this meant. They want to try a low dose of Trintellix but I’m to scared so even though that’s what they gave me I haven’t started it but I’m suffering so bad I have literally been trying to call psychiatrist all over the US trying to get one on the phone for someone to give me direction. I guess they don’t want to do the Anafranil because it has a higher rate of producing serotonin from what I understand. Please don't concern yourself with this FAW. Some medications have a major drug interaction when taken together. I wanted to know why. Put very simply each medication is metabolised by a different liver enzyme. If taking more than one medication which is metabolised by the same liver enzyme...such as CYP2D6, there can be complications. This is why it is important to put all ones drugs into a drug interaction checker. I am unable to go into more detail at the moment due to chronic sleep deprivation.i just can't think properly.

Kristine Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 2 hours ago, wantrelief said: I am so sorry you are going through this, Kristine. I have read somewhere on here that a low dose of melatonin may be helpful with sleep onset so it might be worth trying it for that. Oh how I wish you weren't going through this. I am thinking about you and sending big hugs - WR. Thank you so much for your support WR, it means so much to me. It helps to have a little boost over the next hurdle. As I wrote to Rosetta I think I'm just going to have to ride this beast until it runs out of steam. Im going to keep on with the magnesium and I think I'll make sure I have a Epsom salt bath just prior to bed. Try to Ease this akathisia.

Kristine Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 1 hour ago, Scorpio said: Hi Kristine insomnia is awful and I really feel for you. If it’s any help I take 1mg melatonin before bed and read when in bed for about 30 minutes then generally fall asleep. I when lucky sleep for about 6 to 6.5 hours when going through a bad wave it is a much shorter sleep but sleep nevertheless. It doesnt make make me feel hungover in the mornings either so no side effects from it. Hey Scorpio, I really appreciate you stopping by and sharing your experience. Insomnia is so debilitating and makes everything else so much more difficult. I'm so sorry you suffer from insomnia as well. However, do seem to have some control of it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge regarding melatonin. I'm going to stick with the basics at the moment and hopefully the weighted blanket will help. If not, I'll definitely consider melatonin.

Administrator Altostrata Posted April 30, 2018 Administrator Share Posted April 30, 2018 Kristine, 75mg magnesium is not very much. You might want to take 75mg every few hours. Do you get off the computer in the early evening and turn off the lights? If your family will accept it, candlelight can be very calming. Have you tried acupuncture? This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

Rabe Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Thank you SkyBlue....I may try some but definitely not a lot. I'm not even able to eat foods I did before or meds I tolerated before for reflux i.e. May wait a bit until system settles a bit more. Any thoughts of a good place to start with them as I have not taken them and really know nothing about them. Thank you again. -Nardil 1976 < year, stopped. React to AD's.

I increased to 150mg on the 28th of April..I'm tolerating it well so I'll start to take 75mg every few hours as you suggested. Maybe not exceed 300mg at this point. 1 hour ago, Altostrata said: Do you get off the computer in the early evening and turn off the lights? If your family will accept it, candlelight can be very calming. No, I'm not doing well in that department. I use my iPad with the light turned down and the night setting on to eliminate blue light. So, your right, I need ditch using it after a certain time. This is going to take some will power because it is a vice I've been relying on heavily to distract me from my symptoms. I like the sound of lighting some candles, the family won't mind 🙂 1 hour ago, Altostrata said: Have you tried acupuncture? Back in December 2015 I began weekly acupuncture after I was CTed off citalopram. I remember both positive and negative outcomes. However, it may be worth revisiting in the not to distant future because my understanding about my symptoms back then was very different compared to now.

I've found having a multi step plan helps get things under control or at least distracts me long enough to make the time pass. This is mine: take hot shower diffuse lavender oil mag lotion get under weighted blanket if I can stay still I hope the weighted blanket works for you! Hey Bheb, Thank you for stopping by. I'm so sorry you are suffering similar symtoms...it is so cruel. I appreciate you sharing your multi step plan. You are very wise 🙂 I like it. I was thinking of adding lavender oil to my Mag bath tonight. I have a diffuser and I'll add lavender oil...the blanket couldn't arrive soon enough. The company make them to order so I'm hoping the wait isn't too long. Fingers crossed. I hope you are able to sleep tonight Bheb. Much Love.

Gotta be a little more discip😳lined. Let's hang in there together...good vibes to you as well. Hi Kristine, That sounds like a really good idea. I find that when I'm in a wave, reigning in the sleep hygiene can be helpful. Have you seen any of these? It is a collection of threads that talk about sleep, insomnia, etc. SLEEP PROBLEMS Tips to help sleep -- so many of us have that awful withdrawal insomnia Waking with panic or anxiety -- managing cortisol spikes What is the sleep cycle? TV or computer use in evening can disrupt sleep: Bright light signals the brain that it's daytime Nightmare While Awake? Sleep Paralysis, Hypnogogic Hallucinations, etc. White noise devices for sleep 2020: After 18+ years (entire adult life) on Paxil, a dangerous doctor-led "taper" in 2015, and four years tapering off the last 1 mg thanks to SA and the Brassmonkey slide, I AM COMPLETELY FREE OF PAXIL! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Forever. 2021: Began conservative, proper, CNS-respecting taper of Zoloft, led by the only expert on me -- me. Making own liquid. 5-10% plus holds. 2022: Holding on Zoloft for now. Current dose 47 mg. Hanging in, hanging on. Severe protracted PAWS, windows and waves. While I may not be doing "a lot" by outside standards, things are graaaaadually getting better. Yoga (gentle to medium); walks; daily breath practice; nutrition, fruits/veg; nature; water; EastEnders (lol); practicing self-compassion, self-care; boundaries; connection; allowing feelings; t r u s t ing that I, too, will heal.

Had a Epsom salt bath with a few drops of lavender oil (Tip: mix oil with a little milk then add to bath...this disperses the oil evenly), Turned off electronics devices at 11pm. Drank a mug of warm milk with honey and Managed to go to sleep at about midnight (much better than 2am!) Woke at 3am but managed to go back to sleep till 4am. Not great but I noticed a small improvement. Not as agitated. Thank you for the links on sleep/insomnia. I have read them before but it is useful to read them again. I'm finding that in my sleep deprived state that I'm forgetting the basics and have not been as proactive as usual. I really appreciate your time SkyBlue 💜 Much Love.

I will keep my fingers crossed more improvements will come soon. Big hugs - WR. -1/06 - 3/07 Cymbalta. Fast taper (essentially CT); withdrawal symptoms after 4 mos (didn't realize was WD) -10/07: 100 mg Zoloft; 1 mg Klonopin - tapered off Klonopin after 4 mos. Several unsuccessful slow tapers of Zoloft; went up and down in dose a lot -Spring 2013 back on 1 mg Klonopin to counter WD symptoms; switched over 5-6 mos from Zoloft to 35 mg citalopram -Two attempts at slow tapering citalopram, always increased dose due to WD; also increased Klonopin to 1.25 mg in 2014, then to 1.5 mg in 2015 -8/17-9/17: After holding one year at 20 mg, feeling withdrawal symptoms due to stress - slowly increased to 25 mg.

Moderator Emeritus Carmie Posted May 1, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hi Kristine, I’m so glad you’ve got a good sleep routine and you managed to fall asleep two hours earlier than before. I’m sleeping at the moment because the Seroquel I’m tapering off puts me to sleep but I will eventually get rebound insomnia. I remember once a couple of years ago I didn’t take the Seroquel for one night and I didn’t sleep AT ALL. Something I will have to deal with in the future too. Thanks for all the links about sleep too @SkyBlue Sendng hugs xxxxx Seroquel. 2019:➡️ From 7.25mg to 5.80mg✔️ 2020➡️From 5.60 to 4.80✔️ 2021➡️From 4.60 to 4.0✔️ 2022➡️From 3.95 to 3.55✔️2023➡️ Jan 26=3.50✔️March 17=3.45✔️ June12=3.40✔️ July30=3.35✔️ Sep14=3.30✔️ Oct31=3.25✔️ 2024➡️Jan15=3.20✔️ Feb19=3.15✔️ March26=3.10✔️This is NOT medical advice.Consult your doctor.

Moderator Emeritus SkyBlue Posted May 1, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted May 1, 2018 46 minutes ago, Kristine said: Thank you SkyBlue, I increased the magnesium to 300mg yesterday, split into 4 doses. Had a Epsom salt bath with a few drops of lavender oil (Tip: mix oil with a little milk then add to bath...this disperses the oil evenly), Turned off electronics devices at 11pm. Drank a mug of warm milk with honey and Managed to go to sleep at about midnight (much better than 2am!) Woke at 3am but managed to go back to sleep till 4am. Not great but I noticed a small improvement. Not as agitated. Thank you for the links on sleep/insomnia. I have read them before but it is useful to read them again. I'm finding that in my sleep deprived state that I'm forgetting the basics and have not been as proactive as usual. I really appreciate your time SkyBlue 💜 Much Love. K xo Wow! Go, you! That's great! ❤️ And you're so welcome.

Rabe Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hi Kristine...there is a type of acupuncture done with lights...color light accupuncture. In any case they can do just a very minimum or more and it is so easy. Start out slow and move up until you find a good spot. I have found it helpful with my anxiety. Im sure there is something for sleep etc as well. Don't know if there is anything near you but is a thought. Take care~ -Nardil 1976 < year, stopped. React to AD's.
