Thank you mate.I’m going no matter what.Good days are coming!

[Vonnegutjunky]

I’m right where you are Kronos. I am scared all day everyday of everything. 

I lay in bed and read about others, it’s all I can do. I pray for all of us.

Thank you mate, i’m praying for us and better days too.

[Kronos18]

I have a question.In withdrawal, when we are overwhelmed by fear, are these feeling going to pass, or is the brain adapting to them, and after withdrawal we need to retrain our brain?

[Kronos18]

Thank you CC.Can someone die from withdrawal? I feel like i’m about to, my head kills me and I can’t walk.My head is full of pressure, i’m so dizzy, my body is vibrating, muscle spasms a lot of them.And the classic symptoms getting worse day by day

[Gth27]

I got the same symptoms. Everything keeps getting worse for me also. Do you also have afterimages and floaters? Head pressure and extreme fatigue are the worst.

Yes, vision is not right al ALL.

I cant believe how the ******* doctors keep denying everything. You lose your whole life. And they say everything is in your head. Even if you dont got depression in the first place.

This is absolutely true.These fuckers need a lesson, i have never experienced something like this in my whole life.But it will get better, everybody gets better at one point.From what I saw, everybody is really bad around months 5-6-7 then they have improvements.Hope it will come for us aswell

[Gth27]

I hope so but I cant wait anymore. Im about to lose everything. My kids keep growing and I miss out on al the things fathers do with their kids. I dont want to keep losing time with them.

Ive had that on boat feeling, swayin and rocking, dizzy 24/7 for 8 months now ever since i ct Lexapro (only took it for 1 month). But now i upped my dose in magnesium from 100mg each day to - starting last week I take 100mg of Magnesium Calm, the powder each morning and magnesium glycinate tablets 300mg every night along with 25mg vitamin b6 to promote magnesiumuptake. 

 

Going from 100% dizzy  all day to 20% is, for me, magic now. Its scary.. Since i got to know myself being a dizzy person, this new stable one feels kinda weird, like Another lever of dp but a good one. 

 

So i you can tolerate magnesium, try it. A little bit at a time. It also reduced my anxiety from going crazy all day to okay.

I know how it feels, i’ve been in it for 2 months, and now, 5 months out it’s been a rollercoaster.I will give it a shot again, thank you for advice.

Read a success story. Try Aeromans!

 

Educate yourself on his first 12 months off the drug.

 

I was Very unwell at 5 month out.

[withhopeinmyheart]

Hi kronos, 

 

it hurts to see so many people are suffering from something that was supposed to help them... 

 

I'm sorry it got so bad again for you. 

 

Do you know pug's success story? It is my go-to success story. He sure knows the torture and came out the other side.

Hi withhopeinmyheart, 

yes, unfortunately so many people are suffering from this.It got bad as in the begining, I hope it will get better again, can’t wait to walk again.

 

I know pug’s story, I have faith it will get better for all of us at some point.Can’t wait to get there, as this is pure torture for us.

Hi.What tests should I do in orger to be sure it is withdrawal? I had an EEG, blood tests 1.5 months ago all came back fine, liver and hormones, what else can I do?

[Kronos18]

My most concerning symptoms are when I struggle to walk, I feel very dizzy, tremors, very fainty, weak muscles, tension all over the body, heart starts to pound faster.My body is also vibrating, specially head,.I’m literally bedridden right now and very concerned about these symptoms, they started to be intense since 2 weeks ago, but they were building slowly since one month ago.My symptoms now are:

diziness, vertigo, weakness to the point i can’t get out of bed, muscle spasms, face twitch, tingling in whole body especially in arms, head pressure, headaches, disorted and blurry vision, slowed thinking, forehead numbness, hands are heating, back pain, right leg pain, flu like symptoms, very strong tinnitus, light and sound sensivity, shortness of breath.I’m concerned about showing signs of multiple sclerosis

[Leo1983]

Hi man.

 

Sorry things are acute. My thoughts are with you. 

 

Again i and i think many had those symptoms too. I know its scary and all you want is to feel better. 

 

I know your unwell and again i know first hand how it rolls. Can you not try to distract? Sit downstairs on sofa as a change?

Hi bro

i’m distracting myself with the phone, just laying in bed as I can’t do more than this.But these symptoms are so overwhelming that I really can’t distract myself all the time.

Things are very acute, I’m trying to hold on but is so hard, I can’t even get out if bed bro.Is pure torture.That makes me think is not withdrawal.But I got tested 1.5 months ago and everything came back fine.

 

[Kronos18]

Guys i’m starting to be concerned.After I do something, like walking, my whole body vibrates, some kind of tremors, i get head pressure.Is this really withdrawal? It all started back 2 weeks ago

I had everyone of these. I know how horrific it is. Just know that it does end. I went to the ER a few times but they just made things worse by trying to give me meds to keep me calm. I didn’t know what was going on until I found this site.
