Pens Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 July 25 I’ve learned a lot in the past year or so I’ve been on a lot of medication’s mostly antidepressants: Escitalopram (Lexapro, Cipralex) Paroxetine (Paxil, Seroxat) Sertraline (Zoloft, Lustral) Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) Desvenlafaxine (pristiq Venlafaxine (Effexor) Sleep Mirtazapine (Remerol) Tramadol Lorazapam opioid Lyrica anticonvulsant I don’t think my doctor knew just what to get me on to help so he tried different things. I didn’t properly taper off anything just started something new. I am now tapering off of pregabolin slowly, I am at 56 ml and sertraline 50 mg. I lost 70 pounds in one year and had to quit my job. I’ve been home since then trying to recover. I have many side effects trembling is the worst and difficulty sleeping. I’ve become very sensitive to everything around me. Trying to eat healthier and take one day at a time. Thanks for all the information on this site and for the compassionate administrators. Will continue to slowly taper off. Wish you all well.

Not seeing any on the daily postings along with the other members. Thank you I hadn't been following your thread recently, so I re-read a few of the more recent pages and wanted to follow up with Alto's question (I didn't see this as being answered back then). On 12/27/2020 at 4:29 PM, Altostrata said: Did you ever take sertraline at a different time of day, such as in the morning? What is your sleep pattern? You're taking sertraline at 5 PM. Some people find sertraline to be a stimulating drug which may be better tolerated in the morning so it doesn't interfere with sleep. It will be helpful to know if this may be the case for you or if there's a reason for taking this drug in the late afternoon? Two suggestions for your daily journal that will help the moderators: (1) please use milligrams and not milliliters for your dose and (2) please add in your symptoms so we can see the symptoms that occur within the context of when you take your drugs. This is what we need: On 9/27/2016 at 2:49 PM, Altostrata said: In the course of discussion in your Introductions forum topic, you may be asked to keep notes on paper of your daily symptom pattern, including when you take your drugs, their dosages, and any symptoms. We ask this because there may be something we can do to reduce the symptoms. What we need to see for every single day over several days is what symptoms you get before and after you take your drugs. If you're not taking any drugs and have withdrawal symptoms, we still need to see your symptom pattern throughout the day: The time of day, dosage, and severity of symptoms are essential information. Include - Time and dosage for all drugs taken throughout the day, psychiatric and non-psychiatric. - Following each dose, note any symptoms. If you are having a reaction to the drug, it may take hours for a symptom to show up -- that's why we ask you to keep notes all day long. - If you're not taking any drugs, your symptoms throughout the day. - Your sleep pattern. Since so many drugs disturb sleep, if you find you're waking in the middle of the night, it could be from a drug you took earlier in the evening. If you're not taking any drugs, there may be ways you can improve your sleep.And so forth. A diary, in chronological order, looking something like this: Example: DATE: 6 a.m. Woke with anxiety 8 a.m. Took 2.5mg Lexapro 10 a.m. Stomach is upset 10:30 a.m. Ate breakfast 11:35 a.m. Got a headache, lasted one hour 12:35 p.m. Ate lunch 4 p.m. Feel a bit better 5 p.m. Took 2.5mg Lexapro 6 p.m. Ate dinner 9:20 p.m. Headache 10:00 p.m. Took 50mg Seroquel 10:20 p.m. Feeling dizzy 10:30 p.m. Fell asleep 2:30 a.m. Woke, took 3mg Ambien (NOT "took 1/2 tablet Ambien") 2:45 a.m. Fell asleep 4:30 a.m. Woke but got back to sleep Link to comment

If you do move the sertraline, do so gradually, only one hour per day. This is gentlest on your nervous system. Please note there is a "moderate" drug interaction between pregabalin and sertraline, so those drugs will need to be spaced at least two hours apart.

If you want to list the mg and the mL, that will be okay. It's easier for the mods to see the mg amount because the mL doesn't mean anything without knowing the ratio.

Are you feeling overly sedated from taking it during the day? Hi Shep, I found that I had a lot of similar side effects to the pre-Gabalin that I didn’t have with the anti-depressants so I wanted to discontinue that one first. Tremors are the worst and then I was also getting a rash with it so I thought I better taper down on that one first. The rash has since gone away.

Administrator Altostrata Posted July 28, 2021 Administrator Share Posted July 28, 2021 @Pens, what are the adverse effects you've had from pregabalin since you started taking it in May 2020, before you started tapering it? When did the tremors start? When did the stomach pain start? Did the itching diminish as you've lowered your daily pregabalin dosage? Do you feel worse after you take each of your current pregabalin doses? This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

When did the tremors start? When did the stomach pain start? Did the itching diminish as you've lowered your daily pregabalin dosage? Do you feel worse after you take each of your current pregabalin doses? Hi Alto, I was itching and Getting a rash on my neck and chest when I first started taking pre-Gababolin. When I started tapering it went away. That’s mainly why I picked it to come off of. I was afraid I might be having an allergy reaction to it. Not sure when the tremors started but I know they worsened the longer I’m on the pregabolin. I was taking sertraline a few years ago and didn’t have these issues that’s why I’m guessing it’s the pre-Gabalin Although I don’t think I was Taking the sertraline for very long. My doctor like to try me on different Anti-depressants and I think I’ve become desensitized. I don’t notice feeling worse, I would say my stomach starts to hurt around 4 o’clock and I have to take ginger root right up until bedtime to settle. I made a mistake though today and took my pre-Gabalin at 4:45 PM when I should’ve taken my sertraline so I ended up taking the sertraline at 5 o’clock, My regular time. I hope I’m not gonna be sorry for that. I guess I’ll skip my 8:30 p.m. dose for my pre-Gabalin and try to get back on track tomorrow. I’ve had stomach problems for a while but never paid much attention to it I don’t eat properly but of course I do now so I’m top of not eating right and then taking all these medication’s it probably hasn’t been good for my stomach. I’m eating healthier now and I think my stomach starting to heal but of course all this takes time. Also I am tired of a worry wart and that’s probably why I was prescribed antidepressants in the first place. On the brighter side now. Sorry this was a bit long winded.

Is this something you do often? What is your daily drug schedule (o'clock), with dosages of each drug? Please keep daily notes of times of day you take your drugs, their dosages, and your symptoms throughout the day. We need to know how you feel before and after taking each drug, and your symptoms in between. Post 24 hours of notes at a time in this topic, in a simple list format with time of day on the left and notation (symptom or drug and dosage) on the right. This can show if your symptoms are adverse effects from one of your drugs. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

Dr. Claire Weekes comes highly recommended for helping people learn how to manage and cope with anxious thoughts. Dr. Claire Weekes - How To Recover (part 1) She has several videos in this series. Please have a listen as you're able. These drugs are well known for causing neuro-emotions, so knowing that some of the shifts of emotions are due to the drugs may be helpful: Neuro emotions Toxic Antidepressants - Neuro-emotions Thank you Shep, I read what you sent me and it does describe me. But I can’t help thinking how I will overcame the neuro emotions when I’m still on these medication’s that are causing it. I will try and work on refocusing my thoughts as I guess I have been thinking negatively all these years. It might be hard at first because I think I’ve spent my whole life thinking negative thoughts of myself. It’s funny because even discussing this has increased my tremors and shaking.This was very helpful and I will try to put it into practice and see how it goes. 2017–20 18 sertraline 50 mg 2018 Pristiq 50 mg 2018 Ciprolex 10 mg 2019 bupropion 150 mg 2019 to 2020 Mirtazapine 7.5 mg 2019 clonazepam 0.5 mg 2020 escitolopram 10 mg 2020 May Pre-Gabalin 150 mg, June sertraline 100 mg to 50 mg, December pre Gabalin 110 mg 2021, December pre-Gabalin 53.5 mg to 48 mg, December sertraline 38.8 mg to 38 mg 2022, January sertraline 38 mg to 36 mg, February sertraline 36 mg to 34 mg, March pre-Gabalin 48 mg to 46.2 mg, April 5 sertraline 34 mg to 33.6 mg., April 24, Sertraline 33.6 mg to 32.9 mg, April 24, stopped Calcium citrate 150 mg, May 4 melatonin 1.25, reducing melatonin see posts., May 2, Brand change on sertraline and pregabalin May 13 Sertraline 31.2 mg May 21 Sertraline 30.8 mg, May 28, Sertraline 30 mg, June 6 29.2 mg, June 16, 29.2 mg to 28 mg.

I don’t know if it’s was B12 but I don’t think I’m gonna take it tomorrow morning and see how I feel. I have tried it before and I remember I didn’t feel that well afterwards. I was hoping I could try again to take it see if it would give me some energy. 2017–20 18 sertraline 50 mg 2018 Pristiq 50 mg 2018 Ciprolex 10 mg 2019 bupropion 150 mg 2019 to 2020 Mirtazapine 7.5 mg 2019 clonazepam 0.5 mg 2020 escitolopram 10 mg 2020 May Pre-Gabalin 150 mg, June sertraline 100 mg to 50 mg, December pre Gabalin 110 mg 2021, December pre-Gabalin 53.5 mg to 48 mg, December sertraline 38.8 mg to 38 mg 2022, January sertraline 38 mg to 36 mg, February sertraline 36 mg to 34 mg, March pre-Gabalin 48 mg to 46.2 mg, April 5 sertraline 34 mg to 33.6 mg., April 24, Sertraline 33.6 mg to 32.9 mg, April 24, stopped Calcium citrate 150 mg, May 4 melatonin 1.25, reducing melatonin see posts., May 2, Brand change on sertraline and pregabalin May 13 Sertraline 31.2 mg May 21 Sertraline 30.8 mg, May 28, Sertraline 30 mg, June 6 29.2 mg, June 16, 29.2 mg to 28 mg.

Administrator Altostrata Posted July 30, 2021 Administrator Share Posted July 30, 2021 Take any supplements with food. It may be better for you to take a B12 sublingual supplement or gummy that will be absorbed in your mouth, instead of a tablet that will hit your stomach. Please include all gabapentin doses in your daily notes, and how you feel before and after you take each of your drugs. This is not medical advice.

Did these symptoms "agitated, tremors really bad, unmotivated" increase after you took pregabalin? I have tremors all day. Makes it difficult for trying to get to sleep at night. I think I get agitated after I take the pre-Gabalin in the morning and then it just progresses through the day. I’ve stopped taking magnesium as of last night. I think in the past it’s causing me to be anxious. Today I feel a bit better. I try to remember to take a bit of applesauce with each pill so that my stomach’s not empty but sometimes if I’ve had a snack or a meal around the time I take my pill then I don’t bother.
