Elyssa143 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 @jonnypeters1234567 thank you for that. I mean to be honest as long as they dont stay the same. Im terrified of the akasthsia. Im on Facebook and so many people in the benzo community have it horrible and are loosing their lives to suicide. I dont see it as bad in the antidepressant withdrawls thank god. And im pleased to know yours isnt constant. Do you think mostly your symptoms are better? Ive been in hell since i took my last piece of zoloft. My withdrawls hit right away. The depression is something ive never experienced before. And suicidal at that. I dont want to not make it. I have a family I want to be able to recover. Its just so scary when your brain tells you other wise howhow long are u off? Do you think your generally improving? How are u feeling today? 13 months on 25 mg of sertraline.

jonnypeters1234567 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 I go through about 5 personalities a day. Yesterday wasnt a too bad day- it was a more 'real day'. Emotions were more raw. I woke with a panic attack then my mind calmed and watched some tv with some fatigue, finished the day fairly positive and got about 4 hours sleep. Today I woke up - was some restlessness which gradually built through the day triggering depression after reading stories on here. With added fatigue and staggering as i walk. This evening im in a fog with some fatigue 2009-2010 Citalopram 20mg CT no problems Sertaline 2010- 6monnths 2011- 2017 June 2017- Citalopram 20mg CT Link to comment
