My friend gridley, now I feel my topic is taking the right path 😂, I used to find support from u ❤. I really expect that adrenaline will make symptomts worse and I based this expectation up on what happened to me when I had pain killer for my tooth, I suffered 4 days symptomts agitation so I should be careful; I hope the dentist isnt obliged to use adrenaline and I will tell him about this and I hope it goes fine.

mustafa Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Hello @Altostrata, I hope u are fine. The last few months I was holding a full free sugar diet, I stopped eating all sources of sugar and this happened gradually. I was depending on avocados as my fruit need but I have a problem now. I cant get avocado right now. It is ok for me to stop all fruit( because their sugar content) but after some days from stopping fruits(45 days for example), I feel down and I feel also need to eat some fruit and here is the problem, I dont bear at all eating fruit and I dont know why, is this because I stopped sugar for alot of time and hince having it again is bad for me?. During writing this post, I feel severe synptomts as a result of having apples. my own expectation is I felt bad because I havent eaten fruits since alot and if I continued to have fruits again and again, these effects will go away but, I cant dare to have risk to do this. Do u have any advice concerning thia matter pls?. i wasn't on a certain drug all the period. i took many drugs many times and for no very long period but to simplify. --fluvoxamine maleate100 mg + amisulpride 200mg------started july 2012 and total taper in february 2015 ( 9 months without drugs then) --sertraline 100mg -------started november 2015 and total taper (withoud reduction slowly) in november 2016( 4 months withoud drugs then). --sertraline 100mg + quetiabine 25mg ( started in mars 2016 and for 7 months) then fluvoxamine maleate 100mg again for another 7months and after that a something like to use every drug for 14 days and for about 1.5 years. --my last drug was trintellix 10 mg ( used it in 12/2018and total taper in 4/2019). symptomts i have now ( bad concentration and problems in short and long memory+ bad depersonalization).

Administrator Altostrata Posted January 19 Administrator Share Posted January 19 How about eating vegetables? Vegetables are good for you.

saimshah Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 yes i can imagine how sever teeth pain is. Just try to keep yourself calm and relax as much you can. It will be alright soon. You are very near to heal completely. what are your symtoms when you are in wave ? my hunger pangs are still like before. i cant take alot of proteins as then i get constipation. i know because I started kieto diet in nov 2020 which really improved my hunger and also reduced anxiety upto 60 % but there are few drawbacks of kieto and severe constipation is one of them. So i m on regular diet. Please confirm can you walk without any cortisol surges and extreme exusation. if i walk i feel termers in legs with extreme sweating which makes me panic. Will this be alright with time ? 2010 citanew 10mg ct after 6 monthes 2015 citanew 10mg ct after 5 to 6 monthes April 2020 xanax .25 mg ct after 1 month April 2020 citanew 10mg ct August 2020 several wd , insomnia, anxiety, fear, muscle spasm, weakness on left side.

mustafa Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Hello @Altostrata, I hope u are fine. I need your advice pls. For a very long time, I stopped eating all fruits as they contain sugar. I think my brain used to the absense of the fruits and became sensitive to all of them. The problem now is sometimes I feel down alot of times and I feel a desire to eat fruits but once I start to eat them,I hit strong symptomts and I become obliged to stop them again. I dont know, can I gradually but these fruits in my body again to reduce the suffer from eating them!?, or it is no difference between eating little or eating alot, that my brain will be sensitive to any much of fruits. Do u have an advice pls? i wasn't on a certain drug all the period. i took many drugs many times and for no very long period but to simplify. --fluvoxamine maleate100 mg + amisulpride 200mg------started july 2012 and total taper in february 2015 ( 9 months without drugs then) --sertraline 100mg -------started november 2015 and total taper (withoud reduction slowly) in november 2016( 4 months withoud drugs then). --sertraline 100mg + quetiabine 25mg ( started in mars 2016 and for 7 months) then fluvoxamine maleate 100mg again for another 7months and after that a something like to use every drug for 14 days and for about 1.5 years. --my last drug was trintellix 10 mg ( used it in 12/2018and total taper in 4/2019). symptomts i have now ( bad concentration and problems in short and long memory+ bad depersonalization).

They stopped and upped Amitryptyline to 30mg 03.2020 coming home and started Amitryptyline withdrawal again. I wasnt aware of need of slow tappering, psych alway told me to cut in half for few days. Decided to do it slowe then she recommended, but it was still too fast.Cut to 20mg when got home (so was on 30mg just a week). 04.2020 Cut to 15mg. Felt amazing for a week, then cut to 13,5mg.

mustafa Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Hello @Altostrata& @Gridley, Like every year, ramadan started in which iam fasting. During the moments iam writing the post i woke up 15 minutes ago and have to be fasting up to more 2 and half hours. Well i dont feel too bad but my brain doesnt stop tricks and increasing my fears: what if i got so down as a result of fasting and what if my symptomts got too high!!.. the last time i had food was at 3:30am, this is called sohor and i got enough amount of food which i think them enough to make me bear the absense of food. I know u can do nothing for me, this is just to get rid off some of fears. Thank u, Mustafs Tuesday 13 april / 2021. i wasn't on a certain drug all the period. i took many drugs many times and for no very long period but to simplify. --fluvoxamine maleate100 mg + amisulpride 200mg------started july 2012 and total taper in february 2015 ( 9 months without drugs then) --sertraline 100mg -------started november 2015 and total taper (withoud reduction slowly) in november 2016( 4 months withoud drugs then). --sertraline 100mg + quetiabine 25mg ( started in mars 2016 and for 7 months) then fluvoxamine maleate 100mg again for another 7months and after that a something like to use every drug for 14 days and for about 1.5 years. --my last drug was trintellix 10 mg ( used it in 12/2018and total taper in 4/2019). symptomts i have now ( bad concentration and problems in short and long memory+ bad depersonalization).
