wildling Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hi everyone. Long time no update. I always wished I could come back to share some good news, but since that hasn’t happened I have stayed away. I just turned 18 months from the antibiotic setback. The only things I can say is STAY AWAY FROM FLAGYL and benzos. I was well on my way to healing before I took antibiotics and now have been in very ill for 18 months. I am bedbound, housebound, haven’t been in a car or anywhere since. I have lost a lot of weight and all my muscles from my legs. I have so so many painful mental and physical symptoms without windows and new symptoms are still manifesting, like excruciating burning pain all over my body. I am mentally, spiritually and physically beyond exhausted and don’t know why this had to happen to me and why I am not healing despite doing everything in my power to heal. No doctors or anyone has been able to help me. Please say a little prayer for me if you can. All my best to you all. Link to comment
ItsBojack Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Hi wildling, I believe I’ve suffered some of the same symptoms as you, and I try to explain it to people and psychiatrists but don’t know how and they don’t know what to think. Can you describe your depersonalization/derealization and what happened when you were on Brintellix? Like the world disappearing? I think i had a similar experience when in withdrawal from lexapro I tried Nardil and had severe derealization. Sometimes it was like the world dissolved and I was all that existed, it was the most bizarre and existentially terrifying thing I’ve ever experienced. And ever since I’ve been stuck in dp/dr and constant ocd rumination about the nature of reality and existence and how there’s like no evidence that anything really exists outside my mind and all sorts of strange stuff like that. Lexapro 10-15mg and Remeron 45-75mg for 9 years (age 15-24). D/c Lexapro 2/14/20 and Remeron on 10/8/20. medication free and languishing as of now Link to comment
wildling Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Hi @ItsBojack I am sorry to answer so late. I rarely come here nowadays anymore. I started a topic around this subject of dpdr where I described my experience with it, you can read it here: I am hoping this helps. And yes the dpdr started when I switched to Brintellix. One day the world just “disappeared” around me. All the best to you Link to comment
