RusTW Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 my guess is a cold turkey might have did more disruption than the reinstatement. I think you're in the same boat is most of us that cold turkey or that slow tapered you're going to have to go through the withdrawals and we got to be patient with that. It's natural to look back and think about what we did wrong or what happened but it doesn't help us out. Are you still working out.

RusTW Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I was on I was on Zyprexa 10mg for many months and then my doctor switch me over to Seroquel 200 or 300 mg per night without tapering me off of the Zyprexa . I doused my brain for three weeks with 2 or 300 mg of Seroquel which is way too high and should have been prescribed 25 mg or 50 mg for insomnia and I cold turkey for three weeks until withdrawals hit and then I reinstated 100 mg. Sometimes I wonder if the reinstatement really helped. Right now I'm still on 50 mg of Seroquel and 50 mg of Zoloft and I still have pretty rough days it's only been about 2 months hang in there buddy.

Moderator Emeritus manymoretodays Posted August 1, 2018 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 1, 2018 Hey......no bother. Our stories all differ a little bit. We just like to tidy up and keep each member to one intro/journal page. Many have done what you did.........and hopefully you'll get a few more responses soon......right here at your home base.......so to speak. Read some of the success stories and focus on the positive. Situational stuff can still throw me. I don't think yours will be a horror story. It just takes time and patience. I switched medications and re medicated for years(not knowing what I know now). And am glad I finally got free of them. You might also visit the symptoms and self care section. Especially take a look at some of the top pinned topics. Now is a good time to collect some tools to help you manage going forward.

RusTW Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Its good the reinstatement was so short.I was chatting with Elyssa143 yesterday she may have had issues with reinstatement also you might want to read her post yesterday of us talking together it's in her introductions. It's good you're getting those windows where you feel like yourself. I had bigger Windows 8 days being the longest in mine shortened up also they're just more frequent.
