I don't ever remember a doctor telling me to never stop immediately they just handed me the drug and off I went. I was never given any instruction. And then when you go back all whacked out of your mind in withdraws they act like you just got nuttier and then want to give you even more meds. It's sad because I'm sure that these drugs are causing people to have health anxiety because they can't understand what's happening to their body while they're on the drugs and coming off the drugs so everybody's making money off of us the medical the psychiatric and the counseling aspect When I entered full fledged withdrawals, my psychiatrist didn't believe me I had entered that stage, and instead offer to up-dose or take whatever dose I desired while my primary told me that withdrawals only last two days. Whatever is happening now is my anxiety and I need to restart taking my medication. I was about attempted a taking meds for a third time until I came across surviving antidepressants and read what was happening, and decided to just tough it out.

I got caught in the medical and mental aspect of it and was being passed around by specialist looking for body symptoms when the psychiatrist probably knew what was going on. I have a new psychiatrist now she's dumber than a Bag of Nails but she prescribes my medication. First she diagnosed me with bipolar disorder then she diagnosed me with anxiety order and last week she diagnosed me with panic disorder so I'm really confused which one is it if it is any at all LOL I think I just have OCD and I've always been able to deal with it on my own. It just got really bad after my Pops passed away.

RusTW Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Notes Yesterday a window opened up around 5 p.m. . Very clear. Last night I was while I was visualizing myself out of withdrawals I actually had that good feeling connected with that visual. I feel like I'm starting to be able to control the feeling that goes with the thought during windows and sometimes during waves. I slept from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. very restful sleep with good dreams. Woke up too low symptoms still in window.

Whoa! Akathesia was my primary symptom after constant headaches from June to late November. It resolved itself, though those five months I felt like was about to jump out of my skin or rip someone's head off if they didn't get out of my way. Though, with the G.I. symptoms that I'm having I prefer having Akathesia since I'm not rushing to the restroom every other minute or pressing my abdomen. I guess in the next six months something else crazy is going to crop up.

RusTW Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Notes today at about 1:15 p.m. I went into a 100% window. Probably even better than premedication days. I feel connected to my thoughts when I visualize a situation I can have the feeling that is connected to it. All my other senses seem to be very clear hearing vision feelings euphoria. Feeling of ease. I also did a one-hour workout with no fatigue first time in 10months. Last night I would sleep about 2 hours and wake up and felt completely rested that happened repeatedly through the night. That's very strange because for the most part I sleep and not feel rested at all for the past 10 months..
