Hi all,

So I got a week of waking up with constant stress and nightmares. and then i got a racing thoughts when i want to go to sleep, palpilation twice until i decided to go to the psychiatrist.

I didn't know that psychiatric drugs are very dangerous as it has withdrawal symptoms. I came here to look for suggestions.

I had been taking 7 AD pills from 1 May - 19 May and stop abruptly every 4 days, i didnt know that there was withdrawal symptoms T_T. then i took it 19 May - 4 June everday routinely. When i took AD pills, it has side effects, like weary body. and so I stop taking it COLD TURKEY by accident because my stupidity thinking that i may diagnose with tiroid disease.

Alganax 0,5 mg
Cipralex 5 mg
Riklona 0,25 mg
Zolda 2,5 mg
= total 8,25 mg

and i stop it all cold turkey.
Day 1 - 7 i felt nausea, gastro problems, palpilations, poor concentration, weary body, tremble hands, headache, mood swing.

Until now what i feel only insomnia and hypersensitivity to strong sounds which strong sound would give a brain tremor.  Dont know what will be coming up next. i am so afraid and feel devastated.

What i want to ask is:
- If only i taper down the dosage slowly, would i still feel the withdrawal syndrome?
- will this withdrawal syndrome last forever??
- Should i go back taking AD pills and then taper it down just to recover from this sh*tty withdrawal symptoms? I want my normal life back. But if going back taking AD pills has no guarantee i would recover and go back to normal self or even im afraid it would only worsen my brain condition, i dont even want to touch those kind of pills anymore. It is better to be like this forever! T_______T

Yes, going off those drugs cold turkey could cause serious symptoms. How are you feeling now?

Hi Altostrata,

 

Now im feeling well. I just got a little bit uncomfortable feeling in my left gum... Keep on hoping that this too will pass..

Hi Velika, it is good that you only took them for a few weeks, the longer they are taken the harder they are to stop.

 

I am glad that you are ok and not having much withdrawal.  You could find that you get worse for a while and then get better again. This can happen many times but don't worry because it is your body that is healing from the effect of the drugs. In time the bad days will stop.
