wanted to ask If anyone else experience the same, if the fatique is worst in the morning hours.
I am also thankful for every tip, hint or hope.

Hi Malon,

When I do experience fatigue, it also seems to be worst in the morning hours for me as well.  I don’t have it to the degree you do, but some days it just hits me in the a.m. out of nowhere.  
 

Indio suggested for me to try coenzyme q10.  
 

I think the general consensus is time will heal.  How long have you been off your drug(s)?  I didn’t see a signature but I’ll go back and look.

Hi Cathy,

thank you for your answer. I have created a signature (thought it is the same as "about me" in profile). I am also going to make a post in introduction forum.

It is interesting to see that for you the morning hours are the worst as well. Although sleep should be refreshing and not the opposite. That is probably why nobody can understand it if you tell this issue somebody. I gues it is not normal. Dont know how much depression can affect it.
I noticed that fatique is much worse if I had to get up by alarm clock and not waking up "naturally". Also my system wants always to push me to get later to bed and wake up later. Like going to bed at 2 pm and waking up at 10-11 am. What I do on vacations.
I can not get used to go bed at 11 pm and wake up at 7 am. It is really strange. Maybe something is messed up with the inner clock.

Could some of you recognize any benefit from Q10? I am really interested to find a supplements which help a bit with fatique and is not affecting anxiety.

Time is really the key I guess. I am 6 months off now and tapered too fast.  At least much slower than most doctor would recommend. Dont know if there is any time frame in which we can expect an improvement. Q&A here says no :/. It would be interesting after which time other people felt an improvement, although it is individual.

German seems to be a very difficult language :). I can speak a little bit of spanish. My english is also not perfect, so please forgive my mistakes :)

Oi pessoal,

Eu estava lendo o tópico completo e este é o meu primeiro post. Junto com a ansiedade, a fadiga é o pior sintoma com o qual tenho que lutar. Nos remédios, eu também tinha esse sintoma. Agora, na WD, parece muito semelhante, talvez seja um pouco pior. Não tenho certeza se é proveniente de med / WD, mas parece ser a coisa mais provável.
Muitos outros aqui parecem ter exatamente o mesmo problema. Isso realmente ajuda a entender e me dá esperança de que algum dia seja melhor. Exames de sangue etc. não mostraram resultado. Pelos médicos me disseram que é psicologicamente. No entanto, não parece.


Percebi que o fatique é pior nas primeiras horas da manhã. Geralmente, fica um pouco melhor no meio da noite e, à noite, geralmente fica muito melhor. Parece que o sono me deixa cansado e cansado.

Levantar-se de manhã é uma tortura, por mais que eu durma. Geralmente durmo muito bem e durante a semana 7-8 horas. De manhã, sinto-me incrivelmente cansado, fatique e confuso. No fim de semana, durmo 9 horas ou mais e me sinto um pouco melhor, mas o fatique ainda está lá.

Estou trabalhando em um emprego de período integral (escritório). Mas, para ser sincero, não sou capaz de trabalhar em período integral. Tenho sorte de ter um homeoffice de tempos em tempos e tive a possibilidade de começar a trabalhar um pouco mais tarde.
Na maioria das vezes, e especialmente nas primeiras horas da manhã, eu sou como um zumbi e me sinto muito desconfortável por causa dessa fatiga. Esse estado me dá depressão e pensamentos suicidas, mas depois fica um pouco melhor e fico mais claro na minha cabeça - normalmente.
Meus colegas já estão acostumados a me ver assim e às vezes não entendem e tiram sarro de mim. Isso realmente me machuca. Isso me ajuda a entender que esse fatique não é minha culpa. Quando eu tomava remédios e não sabia muito sobre o efeito colateral, tenho a tendência de me culpar por isso (como se chegasse mais cedo à cama ontem, etc.)

Álcool, esporte e fazer outras coisas adicionais que meu trabalho normal pioram a fadiga (nos próximos 1-2 dias). Estou tentando viver saudável, mas isso não parece ajudar muito. Pelo que pude aprender aqui, o tempo parece ser a única coisa que ajuda. Não tenho certeza se aguento esse estado por vários anos, espero que fique pelo menos um pouco melhor <1 ano.

Eu queria perguntar se mais alguém experimenta o mesmo, se o fatique é pior nas primeiras horas da manhã.
Também sou grato por cada dica, sugestão ou esperança.

Saudações da Alemanha
 

Hello Malon
It seems typical in many people that mornings are the worst part of the day.
1 year after stopping xanax and practically 5 months without Trazodone, I am slowly starting to sleep 6 to 7 hours, however I still have difficult nights that I wake up several times.
My mornings are also usually very bad, anxiety, fear, negative thoughts, nervousness, bad lunch and usually almost miraculously I feel much better, I still can not figure out this relationship with food and sometimes before dinner I also get strange and so as I feel better, there seems to be a direct relationship here between food and anxiety, I don't know if this happens to anyone else.

One thing that also happens to me is that even light sport, without intensity makes me more unstable, more anxious and very tired in the following days, it seems that the body has not recovered from the stress inflicted by the drugs, my muscles seem not hold out much, I have a theory for this which is as follows:
Anxiolytics are also strong muscle relaxants and walking months or years taking them should do a lot of muscle damage so it takes a long time for the body to recover, I don't know if this makes sense.
I hope we can all recover and live a normal life.

Alprazolam 0,5 pela manhã e 0,25 ao deitar de maio de 2016 a outubro de 2018 (incluindo redução).

Trazodona 100mg para ajudar a dormir de maio de 2018 a hoje 0mg.
Comecei a reduzir trazodona em novembro de 2018. Quatro meses sem trazodona.

Desculpe o meu Inglês é ruim.

Hello Cathy and Indio,

Thank you for the answer (and translating). I already answered Cathy, but my post still has to be approved.

@Indio you said you feel very bad in the morning. Do you also feel tired/ fatique? Many on WD seem to be anxious in the morning. You said miraculously you feel better. For me this is a strong sciene, your symptoms are caused by these chemicals/ its WD and some day they will go  and always feel better!
On some days I also see a relation between food and anxiety but not as much as you. E.g. if I eat something for luch, afterwards I feel calmer. Maybe it is related to blood sugar and it could help you to always have a choco bar or some food with you and eat multiple times a day smaller portions?
After lunch I often get incredible tired. It helped me to eat smaller portions. Sport makes me also very tired the next day and my anxiety increases also during the exercise and gets worse from to exercise to exercise. It helps me a bit to make longer breaks between the exercises. After exercising I often feel better with less anxiety,  better mood and more energy - until next day when fatique hits :).

Yes, there is hope for a normal, happy life! This should keep us going!

Many in withdrawal find sugar and caffeine (both present in chocolate) to be too activating for our sensitized nervous systems.  I know I do.  Even fruit, with its high sugar content, is too activating for some.

Have not thought about this. It is really hard people can get such senstive cause of this drugs/ AD. Maybe I should be more careful as well with those things. I know chocolate has bit of caffeine. Then better something without sugar/ caffeine.

Yes, Malon, 

If you completed a fairly fast taper and are only 6 months off the drug(s), then my guess is that your entire system is still adjusting to not having the drug.  Many on here are far more knowledgeable than I, but everything you are saying makes sense as far as withdrawal and symptoms go.  
 

One other thing I thought of is thyroid.  Have you had your TSH tested recently?  I have had hypothyroidism/Hashimotos issues crop up (this was well before I started my taper), and my symptoms were fatigue, slowness of digestion, constipation, wanting to sleep during daytime, etc.  

 

Just a thought.  I do believe your fatigue will improve.  
You speak excellent English!  I love the German language.  I prided myself on having a good sense of which article matched which noun.

Hi Cathy,

I checked my TSH recently and it was fine. My vitamin D is quite low and iron was too high. I read that in WD sometimes the values of blood tests go crazy.
I found this thread for Q10:


For some it helped, for some no effects and for some adverse effects. I am going to try it in 2 weeks. First I want to see if I there is an improvement of the fatique with Vitamin D 5.000 u.e. I will report on both then.
Like in this forum mentioned you have to be very careful with new supplements (start with low dose, only one at a time, etc.).

Thank you so much. I hope for all of us the fatique will improve soon. Sometimes I am scared to have cfs or something. But it makes much sense if so many people here suffer from fatique in WD from this drugs, it is related to them.
I can see most people have high anxiety in the morning etc. For me its only extreme fatique in the morning, I am even too tired for anxiety :0. Would be interessting if anyone else has only extreme fatique in the morning.

P.s. The different articles for the nouns is one of the most difficult things in german language, so that is remarkable 😉. To be honest I dont hear it often that people actually like the German language XD

Hi Malon!

Vitamin D!!!  I forgot about vitamin D.  Yes, that can definitely play a role in fatigue as well.  I take some liquid drops of that every morning.  

 

I'm glad you that you mentioned that you read sometimes the values of blood tests go crazy.  I've been having an array of abdominal/gastrointestinal issues and it almost feels like it did when I was originally diagnosed with hypothyroidism a couple years ago, so I'm hoping that alllll of this can be attributed to withdrawal.   

 

One other thing I thought of in regard to fatigue:  I use a light box every morning at roughly the same time during the fall/winter months.  I believe this has recently helped to reset my circadian rhythm.  I wonder if you might benefit from that to kind of reset your sleep/wake cycles.  I need to check and see where the latitude of Munich is in relation to Seattle, but I assume your winters get a bit dark(?).  The presence of bright light in the mornings also perks me up a bit when I'm feeling sleepy/fatigued.  So perhaps that could be a piece of the puzzle.

Oi Malon!

Vitamina D!!! Eu esqueci a vitamina D. Sim, isso definitivamente pode desempenhar um papel na fadiga também. Tomo algumas gotas líquidas disso todas as manhãs.  

 

Fico feliz que você tenha mencionado que às vezes lê os valores dos exames de sangue enlouquecem. Eu tenho tido uma série de problemas abdominais / gastrointestinais e quase parece que aconteceu quando fui originalmente diagnosticado com hipotireoidismo há alguns anos, então espero que tudo isso possa ser atribuído à abstinência.   

 

Outra coisa que pensei em relação à fadiga: uso uma caixa de luz todas as manhãs aproximadamente ao mesmo tempo durante os meses de outono / inverno. Acredito que isso recentemente ajudou a redefinir meu ritmo circadiano. Gostaria de saber se você pode se beneficiar disso para redefinir seus ciclos de sono / vigília. Preciso verificar e ver onde está a latitude de Munique em relação a Seattle, mas presumo que seus invernos fiquem um pouco sombrios (?). A presença de luz brilhante pela manhã também me anima um pouco quando estou com sono / cansado. Então talvez isso possa ser uma peça do quebra-cabeça.  

 

Obrigado pela discussão no Q10!

Hello people.

This product is very good, at least it works for me:
https://www.nordicnaturals.com/uk/uk_arcticDclo.php

Although they do not work miracles, they do help a little in the overall functioning of the body, because we are not just withdrawal symptoms fortunately.
  For sleep I discovered something that also works for me along with good sleep hygiene which is as follows:
half an hour before bedtime a banana with oatmeal, a teaspoon of honey, a teaspoon of montmorency cherry juice and a cup of raspberries, these foods are all loaded with natural melatonin .... raspberries are the most melatonin food that exist...
A good night's sleep helps in everything ....

Alprazolam 0,5 pela manhã e 0,25 ao deitar de maio de 2016 a outubro de 2018 (incluindo redução).

Trazodona 100mg para ajudar a dormir de maio de 2018 a hoje 0mg.
Comecei a reduzir trazodona em novembro de 2018. Quatro meses sem trazodona.

Desculpe o meu Inglês é ruim.

Hi,

I noticed a slight better mood with more Vitamin D but no improvement in fatique so far. I am going to try Q10 next week. 

That is a good point, I also have a daylight lamp. For me it does not help, but I will give it another try in the morning.
If you use it in the morning you have to be careful with anxiety, since some people report higher anxiety in the morning if they got "too much daylight" there. So they have less anxiety in the morning if they avoid to much light in the morning (curtains etc.).
Yeah the winters can get quite dark in Munich (At 4 pm it is already dark). But at the moment that is rather a good thing that a bad thing for me(normally I hate it). Often I am starting to get better when it is dark outside, I think this is related to WD.
Fatique is still most present after sleeping or sometimes if I wake up a little bit in the night, then I also feel incredible fatique and sometime with headache. Some days are worse. Some days are better. I have to avoid every additional stress (To much exercise, Alcohol, stress etc.) and I guess I have to accept it how it is at the moment and hope it will get better.
