Hi Carmie-- it looks like you got caught between changes in measuring and delivery system.  With each one being just a little different it's pretty easy for symptoms to take an upswing.  Give it a few weeks and things should be back to normal.

 

Using the 7.5mgai compounded capsules shouldn't cause any problems.  The compounding just throws another variable into the mix that might at some point cause some problems.  I'm a big fan of working with the original medication.  It has better consistency than compounded capsules, the source material is more predictable to get and it usually costs less.  Currently you'd be getting just over three doses from one tablet, so you would be getting a "free dose" about every three tablets.  This would accelerate as you decrease further saving more money.

 

Hi Brassmonkey, 

 

Im still going through withdrawals from changing to a compounded formula . It’s been over two months since I’ve changed n I’m still going through lots of waves, though I did accidentally updose one night. 

 

Ive been thinking about what you said n I don’t want the compounded formula to keep causing problems so once I stabilise, which might be a month or longer I’m going back to my tablet. Then, off course I’ll go through withdrawals again. Even if it takes another three or four months of withdrawals n I’ve gone backwards I think in the long run it is the best thing to do as I’ll be tapering another ten years or so.

 

Once I get down to the teeny tiny doses I definitely don’t want to have any discrepancies there. 

 

Thank you soooooooo much for your help💚

P.s.s. Neuro emotions on overdrive. Why did I change to compounded capsules??? I really wish I hadn’t. Have to back track now. 

 

All these extra withdrawals for nothing. Sooo bad at the moment.

 

Anyway, I’ll say bye for now. See you all in a week or so💚💚💚

Hi Sunnyday, 

 

Hope you are doing okay. I’m just dropping in briefly.  Thank you for thinking of me. I’m going through severe waves at the moment on and off but I know I will eventually stabilise again. I just need to spend more time away from this site n not focus on withdrawals and reading everyone’s sad stories as it affects me. 

Sounds good Carmie, sometimes that's for the best. Sad to hear about the waves, hopefully they will pass relatively soon. It's hard to know what the best course of action is in a situation like this, and you did what you thought was best. I wish I had tapered more slowly in the beginning for example, but it's easy to say what we would've done differently in the past when we know more in the present. In time it will get better!

Neuro emotions can be horrible. Doing our best to ride it out, while trying to be an observer of the emotions and thoughts rather than to act on it can make it a bit easier (I know it's very difficult). Big hugs.

2011-2015: Escitalopram (Cipralex) 20 mg, Voxra 300 mg (quit Voxra in late 2015, no issues)

2016: Started tapering Escitalopram 5 mg at a time, every fourth week

July 24th, 2016: Escitalopram 5 mg

April 2nd, 2017: Quit last dosage (WD worsened a lot)

Ca 6 last months of 2017: Taking Diazepam 15-25 mg irregularly, less than once a month

Ca Dec 2017: Out of Diazepam, i.e free from all prescribed drugs

Now: Still drug free

Supplements: Irregular intake of Omega-3, magnesium, vitamin D.

Hi Miracle, 

 

Thanks for dropping by. Brain fog is bad at the moment so I can’t read much on here but I’m doing okay. Still going through windows n waves. When I stabilise I’m going back to water titrating my original tablet instead of the compounded one. 

 

I went to the Botanic Gardens on Tuesday with a friend. Was lovely. I love being in nature even though I’m pretty anhedonic at the moment, not quite one hundred percent anhedonic like when I was down the Coast at my sister’s place. I’d say more around eighty percent, I can experience the things around me a little bit. 

 

I took lots of photos in the gardens. Loooove photography. Made a nice collage afterwards. It was a lovely morning despite the way I was feeling. I’m really blessed to have lots of amazing friends. Different friends love doing different things n I’m all for new experiences. I can never understand how people can get bored, there’s so much one can experience in this life, culture, concerts n music, arts n crafts, exploring different places, doing fun things with friends, nature, movies n tv shows that etc. The list is endless. I say, even if your anhedonic, do them anyway!!!!

 

Today I’m mainly in bed, that has a lot to do with the chronic fatigue syndrome though. I’ve been writing a little, doing a diamond painting of tulips (so pretty) n listening to YouTube videos. 

 

I’ve got fairy lights on my “happy wall” in the bedroom now n it makes for a lovely atmosphere in the bedroom. I’ve got ten diamond paintings on my wall now too n they keep coming😀. I must paint a few more positive signs too for my wall. There are always balloons on my wall.  Looooove balloons. Yes, I’m a big kid at heart. 

 

Hope you are doing okay Miracle.

 

Sending hugs🤗

Hi Sunnyday, 

 

Lovely to hear from you. How are you doing? Can’t read much today, bad brain fog.

 

Yes, we all make many mistakes in this horrible world of tapering but I think going back to the original tablets is the best thing in the long run as I’ll probably be tapering for another ten years or so. I don’t trust the compounding formulas now n I think it’s best to use the original tablet for more stability. 

 

That being said though some people have no choice but to compound their formulas, so we all have to do the best we can in whatever situation we are in. Also, a lot of people have successfully tapered on compounded formulas too. There seems to be no black n white in this horror we are all going through.

 

For me though, after talking to Brassmonkey,  I have decided to go back to my original tablet. It’s probably six months of withdrawals for nothing n going backwards but I think it’s the best thing to do in the long run. 

 

I’ll check out your thread n see how you’re doing when I have more brain power. 

 

Sending you sunshine☀️☀️

Okay, 

 

Keep me off eBay. I just bought another four diamond paintings to do😂😂😂. One with a cabin by the lake n three fun ones with different fruits n food n one had balloons in it. Always a bonus, love balloons. 

 

I think its great to have lots of backup diamond paintings for me to do when I’m in waves. They are an amazing distraction.

 

Just finished one with tulips in it. It’s daisies next. I’m a massive fan of daisies. 

 

Okay back to it. Stick, stick, stick, stick🙂. Caught up with friends last night n I noticed one of the beads was stuck to me. They’re affectionate little things. Lol.

One last thought before my brain totally disappears for the day, you are all such AMAZING warriors in this fight. People really have no idea how hard this journey is.  I do have amazing friends n even though they don’t understand what I’m going through they have never deserted me.

 

I was chatting to one friend the other day who used to be a naturopath n she was saying how important it is to make sure you get the right nutritional supplements etc. At the beginning of the conversation I felt sad that I couldn’t explain how supplements in themselves won’t upregulate the receptors in the brain that are down regulated. Also supplements can trigger withdrawals.

 

She has such a kind heart and was trying to help.

 

She has chronic fatigue syndrome like me too n I explained to her no matter how hard we try to explain the symptoms of CFS n what it’s like to be in a total crash from it when we overdo it or sometimes we are in a crash where we can’t move that was precipitated by nothing in particular, people will NOT understand what it is like. I’ve lived it for 24 years. It’s the same with withdrawals. No amount of explaining will really help anyone to understand unless they have gone through it. She understood that. 

 

Im so looking forward to visiting this particular friend in the future n staying at her place for a few days. She knows how much I love nature n old buildings n photography etc n she already has an itinerary for me. She said the other day that she went past something I would love n she is taking me there😊. Can’t wait! She is in a crash with CFS at the moment but the fact that I’m in her thoughts warms my heart so much. 

 

I stopped explaining what CFS is like to people n just focused on what I could do. I really well n truly am blessed with the most amazing friends. Even when I’ve been too sick to attend certain things they keep inviting me to things anyway. 

 

A lot of the symptoms people get with withdrawals I already had before WD. I have brain fog, depersonalisation, severe unexplainable fatigue( I remember an article I read once said that comparing normal fatigue to someone who has CFS is like comparing a match to lightening). 

 

Anyway, it’s onwards n upwards. My brain seems to be disappearing now so I’ll say bye. 

 

Sending many hugs🤗🤗🤗

Okay, this really is the last thought for today. I can’t stop singing Shotgun by George Ezra 😂😂🎧🎼🎤. “I’ll be riding shotgun, underneath, the hot sun, feeling like a someone, someone, someone, someone.....”😆 I’ve got the giggles now. When I was at the  botanic gardens with a friend the other day I could stop singing it!! I have an absolutely terrible singing voice. My poor friend!!! 

 

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease enjoy music through withdrawals if you’re not noise sensitive 💚💚

I think I’m on a roll tonight😀. My last post wasn’t my last post. I’ve still got the giggles, I can’t stop giggling. Someone stop me!😂

I’m watching Imagine Dragons videos on YouTube now. That was a brilliant concert! If you ever get to see Imagine Dragons in concert, I tell you what, Radioactive is one of the best things EVER live. The instrumentals are INCREDIBLE!! I did put in my earplugs for some of the concert because I know people have got continuous tinnitus from concerts. Some concerts aren’t as loud as others but this one was really loud. 

 

Dan suffers from depression n he mentions it in his concerts. I didn’t have depression before withdrawals so I feel for people that have depression in general. 

 

Okay, back to YouTube. I better stop posting tonight or you’ll get sick of me😂. I’ve still got the giggles. Oh, well, it’s better than the anhedonia I’ve had. Let’s see what tomorrow will bring. It’s quite a rollercoaster ride!

 

One day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time.

 

Sending big, big hugs🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hi direstraits, 

 

Thanks for your kind words. Much appreciated. I try n keep my chin up no matter what, it doesn’t always work though.😉

 

Today I started doing my daisy diamond painting, Im half way through it already. I’m also crocheting, as well n watching YouTube videos. Pretty much in bed, except for getting up n doing a bit of housework here n there. 

 

The birds will be here soon for their feed. We have inherited all the neighbourhood birds I think. They keep bringing their friends: “Come on Bob, come on Mary, come on Squirt.”😀 They are flying to our balcony by the dozens. We have four kookaburras that come n one of them is really tame, he will eat out of your hand. 

 

I have to laugh, because if I leave the balcony door open n I’m in the bedroom, I’ll go out to the loungeroom n one of the magpies will be sitting on top of the lounge waiting for food.😂 He’s really tame n he will eat out of my hand too. Here I am calling him a he, maybe it’s a she? One of the baby magpies has started eating out of my hand too. They love their mince.

 

Magpies get really territorial when they are nesting n if you walk anywhere close to where they are they will attack you. These ones are like pets now n I doubt they would swoop if we walked past their trees. I once got attacked by a magpie elsewhere, he swooped n got me in the head n drew blood. I love them though, he was just defending his territory.

 

I think it’s important to connect with nature, especially during withdrawals. Even when I’m extremely anhedonic I still get out in nature. Can’t wait for my next nature adventure once I have the strength to leave my flat again. In the meantime I’ve got my birds n my cat, plus I love looking at photos of nature n scenery on Instagram.

 

I hope you’ve managed to get to the beach n your seaside walks. 🌊

 

Sending hugs🤗💚

Hi everyone, 

 

How are we all coping today? I want to read some  more threads but I don’t have much brain power today. The brain fog is getting really severe. I think I might watch some Netflix in a minute. 

 

I keep doing the silliest things, like looking for my hairbrush n it was in the kitchen cupboard.🤨 I’m constantly losing things. My place is fairly organised but I still manage to constantly lose things. I lost a pair of glasses👓 when I was out the other day n I left an umbrella☂️ on the bus one day. I had a pen in my bag when I left home as well n when I went to grab it from my bag it wasn’t there. All these mysterious vanishings! I think I must get duplicates of the things I use the most like pens when I’m out n about. 

 

I no longer stress anymore over the little things I keep losing n misplacing. What can one do? No brain, no gain!😀 Sometimes I even have to laugh, especially when I put things in the oddest of places. I can’t remember now what it was (again no brain) but I put something in the fridge the other day that definitely didn’t belong there. 

 

Okay, my brain is definitely leaving now.

Okay, talking about losing things with brain fog. Now I can’t find my blue tack to stick up my latest diamond painting. Maybe there wasn’t any left?? Can’t remember that either. Okay, one really has to laugh when stuff like this happens every day! 🤓 A lot of the time I can’t remember what I thought about five seconds ago. I’m on my bed doing my crafts n I get up because I want to do something but by the time I’ve gotten up n walked to where I wanted to walk I can’t remember what I wanted there.🤔🤔

 

Definitely time for Netflix n chill now💚

Good morning one n all, 

 

I had a little bit of thinking ability this morning n managed to read a few threads, but alas my brain is slowly disappearing again. Brain fog is becoming so thick, it’s like thinking through Vaseline! 

 

Ive been awake since five, it’s nearly eight am, but I haven’t had the strength to get out of bed yet. It may be another day in bed. I will find some good distractions to get me through the day. Am crocheting another footy blanket for someone. I’ve well n truly made over a hundred blankets as presents since going through withdrawals.

 

I used to love knitting those twirly scarves years ago n giving them as presents but I can’t get the wool anymore. One of my friends liked them so much I made her one in pretty much every colour. Crocheting n knitting has really helped me through withdrawals n it’s an added bonus that I have something to give to friends afterwards. 

 

Let’s see what the rest of the day brings. One doesn’t really know how one will be from one minute to the next. Maybe I’ll have a bit more brain power some time during the day, maybe not. We can only live in the present moment n do the best we can with that moment.

 

Hope you’re all surviving as best you can.

 

Sending sunshine your way, we get a lot of that here in Queensland 😀☀️☀️☀️

Ahhhh! Brain fog! I don’t think I could think straight at the moment if my life depended on it.😂 I’ve been wanting to interact with more people on here today but my brain seems to be in outer space!!🌕

 

Let’s hope it comes back to earth again soon. The brain fog isn’t all from withdrawals, it’s part of my illness too. Haven’t been able to do much brain work today, mainly watching DVDs. I’m watching Culombo, good old crime show. I like how you see the crime first n then Colombo figures it out. All other crime shows you have to figure out who did it. Also have been doing a tiny bit of crocheting. Too braindead to do a diamond painting, though I still have one left at home.

 

Well it’s back to Columbo, gotta do something to distract myself. 

 

Take care💚

Hi Carmie,

Has it helped to go back on the previous tablets?

Thinking of you...

7 months of prescribed polypharmacy in 2015-2016, including several classes of psych meds.

1st attempt at taper was too fast. 2nd attempt is underway.

1 Mar 2018: 37.5 mg paroxetine, 150 mg lamotrigine, 300 mg quetiapine

1 Oct 2020: 30 mg paroxetine, 150 mg lamotrigine, 37.5 mg quetiapine

15 May 2022: 25 mg paroxetine, 150 mg lamotrigine, 0 mg quetiapine

11 Jan 2024: 20 mg paroxetine, 118.75 mg lamotrigine 

Supplements: Iron, Vit D magnesium glycinate, omega 3

I am not a medical professional. All my posts are my opinions only, based on my experiences.

So true ChessieCat, 

 

One has to use distractions that one can cope with when their brain disappears😀.

 

Yes, please take care of yourself, don’t feel guilty for things you can’t do. Try n focus on what you can do. I know you like to journal too. I’m looking forward to reading your post on it one day. Maybe you can write down what you actually accomplished at the end of the day. Not what you couldn’t do.

 

I hope you have fun with more sewing projects.

 

Im listening to music now, just put together a new playlist. I own heaps of CDs too. Major music freak here!

 

Take care💚

Hi Bee, I haven’t stabilised on the compounding capsules yet but when I do I’ll go back to my original tablets. It might take many months to stabilise again when I do that but I think it’s best in the long run. That’s probably at least six months going backwards but I really do think it’s best for me in the long run.

This eve I put together a new playlist on Spotify. If you love music as much as I do n you are not noise sensitive check out Spotify, it’s free if you can tolerate commercials every thirty minutes or so. It’s pretty good. I think it’s only ten dollars a month if you want to get rid of the commercials. I own millions of CDs though, still love my CDs despite the digital age. 

 

You can keep making up new playlists on Spotify. Music is an AMAZING distraction.

 

This is the playlist I made up tonight:

Radioactive - Imagine Dragons.

Thunder - Imagine Dragons.

Everbody’s Changing - Keane.

Is It Any Wonder - Keane.

Stranger In Me - Pseudo Echo.

Funky Town - Pseudo Echo.

Space Oddity - David Bowie.

My Name Is Ruin - Gary Numan. 

Uprising - Muse. 

Runaway Train - Soul Assylm 

Viva La Vida - Coldplay.

Violet Hill - Coldplay.

Things We Lost In The Fire - Bastille.

Pompeii - Bastille.

Last Train To Clarksville - The Monkees.

She’s My Ute - Lee Kernaghnan.

The Outback Club - Lee Kernaghan. 

Mama Said - Lucas Graham. 

The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore - James Morrison.

Someday - Rob Thomas. 

Better - Rob Thomas. 

River - Josh Groban.

 

Make up your own playlists n keep changed ng them. An amazing distraction when going through withdrawals. Now it’s back to my music🎼🎸🎤

 

Sending hugs🤗

Just listened to Pseudo Echo’s Stranger In Me n I think we can all relate to this song. Loooove Pseudo Echo n have seen them twice in concert. I couldn’t stop singing Stranger In Me for ages after one of their concerts n I have the most awful singing voice😂. My poor friends!!! I remember going to the theatre with a friend not long after one of the concerts n still had that song in my head . Put those ear plugs in, here comes Carmie🤣.

 

Anyway, the song goes:

It’s complicated, not clear to see, 

My personality’s a stranger to me, it’s not related, how can this be?

 

That’s how we can feel during withdrawals, like we are not our real selves n we want ourselves back! How nice it will be when we all reach equilibrium n feel like ourselves again!

 

Okay, now it’s onto Funky Town, won’t you take me to a funky town?😀🎼🎤 That song is really long, it goes on forever at a concert. Cool song! 

 

It’s beddy byes for me soon, so I’ll say goodnight.

 

Please keep finding things to help you distract. This journey certainly is tough. Hang in there everyone 💚💚

Hi DMV, 

 

Thanks for dropping by. I have bad brain fog at the moment so can’t interact much but just wanted to say I’m glad you love music too n have zillions of songs on Spotify.

 

By the way, on the last playlist I wrote the song Better is from One Republic, not Rob Thomas. Always make mistakes when I post things as I struggle to think. Music is an amazing distraction n it makes me sad when I read about the people who are noise sensitive going through withdrawals.

 

Im sorry you have been up n down. I haven’t stabilised yet but when I stabilise I will go back to the original tablets as they are more accurate.

 

 Yes, motivation can be a struggle when going through withdrawals n as you said, focus too. I have so many things in my brain that I want to do but don’t have much strength, that’s due to my illness as well. I do manage to do some of them though. I was blessed with a creative brain n I always have a million creative projects I want to do. Even if I can’t do them or may be able to do them way down the track at least my ideas keep me entertained.😂

 

Take care, sending hugs🤗

Hi Rabe, 

I see Brassmonkey has answered your question on your thread. I think a good idea would be to get yourself a pretty notebook n write down all the information relevant to your tapering n anything on this site that you find beneficial so you can always find it easily again n won’t feel so stressed. 

 

I can see you get easily flustered which is not hard in withdrawals, plus our brains are so bad. If you have all the information in one place, making it easily accessible, you won’t feel so flustered n out of control all the time. This certainly is a stressful journey.

 

Sending hugs🤗

Just documenting. It’s day 76 since changing to compounded n I haven’t stabilise yet, though I did accidentally take a double dose a little while ago so that definitely wouldn’t have helped.

 

Can barely think so I’m cranking up the music.

Good night everyone, 

 

Had no brain all day but a bit of it came back this evening. I went to make a coconut water n berry smoothie for lunch n I was pressing down on the NutriBullet n it wasn’t working. One has to plug it in for it to work!😂 it does need electricity! 

 

Zzzzzzzz💚

Hi Direstraits, 

 

Thank you for your message. I did sleep well but that’s because the seroquel makes me sleep. I may end up going into rebound insomnia once I get down to the really low doses or am off it completely because once when I forgot to take it I didn’t sleep a wink. Not focusing on that now though, as we can only live in this moment n we don’t know what the future holds. 

 

Im glad I made you laugh, I really do laugh at myself all of the time, I do the silliest things because of memory problems n severe brain fog. One must laugh n not take oneself so seriously because what can you do?? 

 

I had a nice time this morning n caught up with a friend. It was so amazing for about an hour or so this morning as the anhedonia totally lifted. I couldn’t stop smiling n I could really feel feelings. I was waiting for the bus n everything seemed so much brighter. It comes n goes but it’s INCREDIBLE when the anhedonia lifts. 

 

When I went down the Coast with friends I didn’t have anhedonia as I hadn’t tapered for months but when I went down the Coast to visit my sister after that I had trouble enjoying anything. Even when I’m anhedonic though I still continue to do the things that would normally give me joy such as going out in nature n doing arts and crafts n spending time with friends n music n concerts etc.

 

Speaking of friends, even though I was still about eighty percent anhedonic when I caught up with this particular friend this morning I felt so much better than the last time I caught up with her. I was such a mess the last time but even when I’m in a mess I still make time for my friends n they are still there for me. They take me as I come. I love encouraging my friends n they love encouraging me so I’m so grateful. I’m barely functional at times but their love keeps me going. 

 

You know those times when you’re around people n you can’t even feel who you are, that’s how I felt last time I met up with this friend. 

 

Well, I’m lying in bed now n I’ve got my fairy lights on n I’m looking at my happy wall n crocheting. I started watching a DVD but my brain left me. Brain, where are you? You never know how you will be from one second to the next, some of my brain may come back again soon. 

 

I have many distractions that I can use when my brain barely functions. I’m an expert!!!😜

 

Take care, sending hugs🤗💚

Hi Rabe, 

 

Great to hear you got your new capsules today. How cool you got them delivered. So glad the new batch is better. It looks like they really did a bad job of the last batch if each capsule looked like it had a different amount in it.

 

Yes, anhedonia is not fun but it comes n goes depending on where I am in my taper. I still do things when I’m anhedonic but when I’m not I really get out there n enjoy everything. I go on little adventures n make happy memories. I take a million photos. Editing the photos has actually been am amazing distraction when I’ve been in bad waves. 

 

When I take photos while I’m anhedonic I’m not as creative but I get my creative outlet later on when I edit them. I have spent soooo many hours editing photos when in bad waves. It’s kept me sane.

 

I did a lot of photoshopping of friend’s photos at one stage n that gave them all a laugh. I gave them different hairstyles n put them in sceneries all around the world n doing things they don’t normally do like skiing, being an astronaut etc. It was hilarious! 

 

The only thing that stops me from going out is when the cfs is really bad n I can barely move n am stuck in bed for most of the day. Even when I’m in bad waves but have some strength to get out in nature I will go out as I find nature an amazing distraction. Not every day though, as I like my quiet time at home too. I have lots of creative projects on the go n love reading ( when my brain lets me) and watching shows n movies and listening to music. And off course, one must do one’s housework😁

 

Take care 💚

Hi QA, 

 

There is no way I would go cold turkey. I just have to taper a small 5% n I get withdrawal symptoms. If I taper at 10% withdrawals get sooooo severe.  7.5mg isn’t a small amount. Some people taper from 0.0 something n when they do that even small amount they end up with bad withdrawals.

 

My brain is so sensitive to any change that if I cold turkeyed the withdrawals would be so bad that I wouldn’t want to live.  I have been put on n off meds in the past, all due to chronic pain n it was a nightmare. I was cold turkeyed too, that was absolute torture. You can get protracted withdrawals too if you cold turkey.

 

Coming off the meds isn’t the end of the journey. It takes time for your brain still to heal after the last dose of medication you take and if you cold turkey it can take even longer, especially if you’re extremely sensitive to meds. Some people have been in protracted withdrawals for years after going cold turkey.

 

Because youre on such high high doses of seroquel going down by 7.5mg for you wouldn’t be a lot but cold turkeying that at the end would be like jumping off a cliff. 

 

I am going to do the brassmonkey slide, I’ll maybe tweak it here n there, but it might take about ten years to get off this last dose. I really don’t want protracted withdrawals.

 

Please be careful with your tapering. 

 

Take care💚

Hi QA, 

 

 

😂Better safe than sorry though. Please be careful with your tapering as you may pay for it down the track.  Make sure you don’t jump off too early when you’re on low doses either.

 

Wishing you all the best with your continued tapering , and again, please be careful.

 

Sending hugs🤗

Hi everyone, 

 

I’m really struggling to think today but I had to share something I read this morning in the thread on neuro-emotions that gave me a giggle. 

 

ShakesJerr wrote this:

 

“ Why does it seem that all of the neuro-emotions we get in withdrawal are bad? Why don’t we get neuro-happiness or neuro-confidence?

 

Yeah, I know that’s mostly a rhetorical question, I know it has to do with down-regulation of serotonin and norepinephrine, but I just wonder why, if our systems are in such a state of flux, we don’t get the occasional up-regulation? 

 

Im not talking about much like a window. I mean more like a good neuro-endured emotion.”

 

Bring on some neuro-happiness ☀️☀️. How cool would it be if we did get positive heightened neuro-emotions!?  Alas, that is not to be by the looks of it. 

 

Hang in there everyone. We will win this fight eventually 💚💚

haven’t stabilised on the compounding capsules yet but when I do I’ll go back to my original tablets. It might take many months to stabilise again when I do that but I think it’s best in the long run. That’s probably at least six months going backwards but I really do think it’s best for me in the long run.

Hi Carmie, im so sorry you are not stable and still dealing with waves.But at least you know well and not too hurry for your next taper. Yes...im agreed for long run more better and stable. Actually this is not easy journey and you are strong ,brave enough to faced it with all your positive effort which im respect so much.🤗

Its not easy to found a person who understand well of CFS and willing to listen or share.....im happy you finally found her. This world is a lots of hope and unbelievable miracle .....anything will happen not matter happy or sad...Just believe that we can made it in our healing journey. Even though im far far away from this forum but im feel warm, at least someone still remember us. Love and warmest hugs from me.😘

Hi @Miracle123

 

Thanks for dropping by. Yes, we definitely will get all there in the end. It’s  not an easy journey n it’s a really slow process but we will all eventually make it to the end of this roller coaster ride.

 

Withdrawals aren’t fun like roller coasters but it’s a good analogy as withdrawals are up, down, up, down, around the bend, sharp dips, smaller dips etc. We never know what is coming around the corner. The same with windows n waves, we never know how we will be from one day to the next, one moment to the next. It’s quite a ride.

 

Had really bad waves yesterday but so far today I’m not too bad. Okay, what is the next hour going to bring? The next half hour? The next minute? The next second? Who knows? So the roller coaster ride continues.

 

Warmest hugs right back at you Miracle🤗
