Mentor Hanna72 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Mentor Share Posted November 10, 2021 Hi dear @Longroadhome Thank you for dropping by and thinking of me💕 I am doing ok, have had some increased waves, also due to stopping nicotine and then failing that again😞 Cant seem to stop it as I feel my anxiety gets worse. But I am getting back on it, I never quit trying.

Fightinghard Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Hey Hanna- how are you doing? I wanted to check in because I saw you had the Covid booster back in November. I had mine last week (Wednesday) and I think I’m having an uptick in symptoms and I’m in a wave. With Christmas and 3 kids here I also pushed myself hard for the holiday and did many things I haven’t been able to do. So that could be part of my wave. I’m just Curious if you had any negative affects after the booster? I think the effects of the booster last 1-2 weeks but I’m not sure. I do know that I don’t want Covid while in WD so the booster risk was something I decided to accept. Thanks! 2003-2006- Zoloft then Wellbutrin, Ritalin, concerta , Adderall. Don’t remember dosage, tapers or timeframes. ADD treatment. I think I had some WD? Definitely PSSD which resolved over time. Zoloft 100 MG April18-april 22, 2020 Buspirone 20 mg from April 18-May 18 10 mg from May 18 - May 27 2020 Lexapro 5 mg from April 22 through May 1st 10 mg from May 1 through June 1 5 mg from June 1 though june 18 2.5 mg from June 18 through June 25 1.25 mg from June 25 through July 4 2020 Ambien - 2.5 mg April 21 and 26 2020 Trazodone 50 mg- 3 times late April and 4 days the first week in June 2020 Supplements: Melatonin .23 mg Link to comment
Mentor Hanna72 Posted December 31, 2021 Author Mentor Share Posted December 31, 2021 Sorry for the late reply my friends. Thank you for dropping by❤️ Dear @LongroadhomeThank you so much for the kind wishes, it warmed my heart. You are such a caring soul and I am thankful for interacting with you here, truly means a lot 🥰 I am getting my beautiful chihuahua girl (dog) on the 19 of January 🤩 I am so excited. This is the longest I have gone with out living with a dog. Your girl Georgie is beautiful. And I couldn’t agree with you more on how much these loving animals enrich our lives, no words for it, you need to live it. Dear @Fightinghard First I want to tell you how much you inspire me with your perseverance. I am so proud of you 🙏 Regarding the booster, I did not feel any uptick in symptoms. I am so sorry to hear that you are in a wave, it’s so frustrating. I hope you will come out of it soon🙏 I am doing ok, I have not been in here lately as I have shifted my focus on another goal (stop smoking,finally after so many attempts… 5 weeks free💪) My anxiety has been so high that I could not open my jaw for 10 days a while ago. It’s called tmj disorder my doctor said and can be stress related. It was awful and scary, but thankfully it is better now. I might be slowing down my taper soon, either doing longer holds or micro taper. I do have doubts that my nervous system is damaged, and I won’t be able to reach the finish line to be honest, but I am trying to push those thoughts aside. One thing is for sure though with everything that has come my way since I started this journey in 2019, I have never taken such good care of my well-being, this has been such a learning experience for me in so many ways. I have set goals and wanted to do better for myself, and reached some while still working on others. It feels good to achieve things, keeps me motivated. You all have taught me so much and I am grateful for you all. I wish you all a happy new year and may the new year bring you peace and happiness❤️ I will not be in SA much, as I do better with not focusing on my taper. 2 1999-2020 20 mg Paxil Bridged with Fluoxetine to help me get off Paxil. 2022 Fluoxetine 15 mg 12/12 14mg 27/12 13mg jan 12mg feb 11mg mars 10mg, 9 mg 8,5 mg 7.6mg 7.0 mg 6,3 mg 5,6 mg 5,0 mg 4,5 mg 4,0 mg 3.6mg 3,2 mg 2,9 mg 2,6 mg 2,3 mg 2,0 mg 1.8 mg I am not a medical professional nor is this a medical advice.

Moderator Emeritus Erell Posted January 17, 2022 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 17, 2022 The late reply means that your thoughts are already busy with "real life", and that's perfectly of with me I see in your signature that you decided to take a long hold: I think it's a brilliant idea, time to catch your breath at the beginning of the year and to give our tired nervous systems a little rest. I am convinced that your nervous system is not damaged, just tired and destabilized by all the changes that these molecules can bring about. Nothing that time can't fix I see that you are going to meet a dog soon: I wish you a lot of fun and comfort in this new adventure that is starting!

Longroadhome Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 @Hanna72 Just to let you know two things .. The first is I’m thinking of you and hope the small increase in med is helping to stabilise you . Secondly, during tapering the cuts catch up with us and symptoms can increase. But please do not let this make you think you are stuck and can’t get off. It’s the same for me I need to hold after several drops and I always think is this it? Let me tell you it isn’t. Many people have the same issue and it’s just a matter of holding and waiting before we start to taper again. The finishing line is moving closer. It’s by no means an easy journey but so many before us say its a journey worth making. Take care x Nov 2018 Pregabalin 2x50 mg a day to help with Paxil WD.

sunnysideup69 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hey @Hanna72, Haven't been here in a while, just catching up now. Sorry to hear you've had a rough time. I think we chatted about fluctuating hormones before, pretty sure they exacerbate everything. I think you are neither delusional nor damaged permanently, for what it's worth.

I am actually doing really good. I got my beautiful little dog in January and what a love and joy she brings to my life🥰 She is the perfect distraction and keeps me busy every day for sure😅 I have even enrolled us in to dog shows, and we go to classes and seminars for preparation. And I love it. Yes I did get really discouraged with the tapering at one point, and thought I was stuck forever on these drugs. It is just very disappointing to work hard at something and being knocked down after months and months of optimism, hope and focus, so yes I was not in a good space for a long time. Frustrated and disappointed in myself and without hope. But….I want to try again. I have finally accepted that this will probably take me years to come off of, and that’s ok. Just don’t ever want to go back to the horrible crashing again, that feeling is insane, and makes you question for sure if something is actually wrong with you.

Mentor Hanna72 Posted June 8, 2022 Author Mentor Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hey everyone Just a quick update on my tapering. I haven’t upgraded my signature, but I went up to 20 mg fluoxetine months ago. I have been able to go very slowly to 15 mg. I will stay at this point for some time I reckon. I just want to be able to live my life at its fullest, and that is my goal for now, I feel like I have lost such a big chunk of my life with withdrawals, and often wonder if it was worth the fight.

I haven’t upgraded my signature, but I went up to 20 mg fluoxetine months ago. I have been able to go very slowly to 15 mg. I will stay at this point for some time I reckon. I just want to be able to live my life at its fullest, and that is my goal for now, I feel like I have lost such a big chunk of my life with withdrawals, and often wonder if it was worth the fight. This process is such a double edged sword, wanting to be free but not wanting to loose time in one’s life. As much as I want to get rid of the drug, my desire to live my best life is also as strong . But I seem to come back to this forum, so I am going to trust my gut instinct. Anyways, that’s it for now. hello hanna, an immediate word from me is (never give up). i think if you were ok on the drug, you wouldn't have come here to get rid of drugs. so i think , of course, it worth it. always remind yourself that no one can be able to live his life at its fullest all the time. every one will suffer at a time so you have to always think about this and it may make you patient. trust your instinct as you said and don't easily give up. 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).

Longroadhome Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 It’s very difficult coming off these drugs for many people @Hanna72. And many can’t make the transition to zero , and so leave this site. I know you have the desire to do so, and that is why you return here once more. I think it’s best not to think about losing time. I’d rather see it as gaining in knowledge and strength. A learning curve, making me a better person. Ready for a better life after recovery. Believe in yourself Hanna. Believe that you can do it. 2 Nov 2018 Pregabalin 2x50 mg a day to help with Paxil WD.

Can’t wait😄 For me it’s best to not overthink this process, that’s the reason I am not active in here, sorry about that. It just puts all kinds of nonsense and fear in my head, so I stay away.

Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted October 12, 2022 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thank you for letting us know how you are. Please don't feel like you have failed because you are still on a psychiatric drug. It might be that now is not the right time for you to be trying to get off. That doesn't mean that it will not happen at some time in the future. At least you have the information about how to do this when the time comes for you to try again. And remember you don't have to reduce by 10%, you can always make small reductions. * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment

Mentor Hanna72 Posted November 8, 2022 Author Mentor Share Posted November 8, 2022 Thank you so much dear @Erell to drop by my thread, with your support and kindness 💕 I know I am all over the place, wanting to get off this drug but yet again not wanting to “waste” years on withdrawals. I am so conflicted. But my heart says get off. So I struggle to decide, and I am scared. So I was thinking maybe fluoxetine will be smoother to taper off from. I do tend to go faster then recommended cause I always think I can handle it, but I need to listen to your advice…I know. I have found that my memory is really bad these days, and I have read it can be a side affect of the drug. It does scare me. Anyways I am thinking out loud and putting my thoughts on here.

Mentor Hanna72 Posted November 14, 2022 Author Mentor Share Posted November 14, 2022 Just a little update This forum is the only place that I feel safe to express my thoughts and emotions. I am overall a very private person, and not one to talk about my « drug » use but here. On the other hand I have gotten more expressive over the years talking about phycotic drugs. With not so supporting views. Anyways, I want to report good news, even though staying at 15 mg fluoxetine. When I switched to fluoxetine I could immediately feel that for me this drug was not as strong as Paxil. One comparison was the knot in my stomach that I had never experience on Paxil but do feel on fluoxetine. I need to address the situation I have, one is having cyst in my pituitary gland, and another 3 cyst I have in my throat. I have never wanted to talk about it, but in my own opinion that’s due to long term use of Paxil. This is just my own opinion, no one in my family history has ever had this. Another thing is my jaw clenching which happened after Paxil. Just few weeks ago this has subsided hugely. I also blame this on Paxil as my nervous system was havoc after the long term drug use. I am stating this for this site, as I know it might come in handy in the future. I am staying at 15 mg for some time now. For me it’s best not to overthink or have details in my tapering. As it might overwhelm me. I will be careful though.

Moderator Emeritus arbor Posted November 15, 2022 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted November 15, 2022 Dear @Hanna72 I'm sorry to hear about the cysts. I developed ovarian cysts while on Zoloft. It's my belief that Zoloft was the cause. I was not overweight or showing other typical associated symptoms. No one in my family had ever developed them. I wish that I had had knowledgeable doctors who could have helped me first get off the Zoloft before rushing in and removing my ovaries, etc. The cysts were benign. Later I found studies linking antidepressants to ovarian cysts. These are hard to find as neither Google nor Pubmed bring them up readily. I hope this is useful to you and my very best wishes, Arbor 💜 Zoloft: 1995 - 2015 Prozac: 2015 - 2018 (tapered from 40mg x day on July 31 to 30mg on August 31 to 20mg on September 31 to 10mg October 31 to 0mg on December 15, 2018 Gabapentin: 2016 to 2019 (tapered from 300mg x day to 150mg on August 31, 2019 to 75mg on September 15 to 50mg on September 31 to 25ishmg on October 15 to 0mg on December 1, 2019 Enalapril: 2010 - 2019 Lipitor: 2017 -2017 Metformin: 2000 - 2020 Liothyronine: 2007 - 2019 Levothyroxine: 2000 - 2022 Link to comment
Oaktree1 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Hanna72, I don't want to overwhelm you and I am trying now to stay calm myself but I was so happy when you decided to come back to the site and continue to the fight to get off AD's. It was a huge achievement bridging onto fluoxetine from the Seroxat as it's such a tough drug to get off - seems to be one of the worst ones. I am dreadfully sorry to hear about the cysts - I am hoping you get the best medical advice and help possible for this.

Following helpful advice from moderator OnMyWay (see her reply of the 5th March) discovered taper with the dilution was 3.8mg (calculated by dividing 30/33 so that every 1ml of solution has 0.90ml of Mirtazapine. 7.50 - 0.90= 6.6ml which was the starting dose on 16th Aug 2021 not 7.5ml). I decided to keep using the solution as I didn't want more change to deal with than I had to. 2023 17 Mar 4.1(3.7); 26 Mar 4.0(3.6); 14 Apr 3.9(3.51)28 Apr 3.8(3.42); 6 Jun 3.7(3.33); 19 Jun 3.6(3.24); 30 Jun 3.5(3.1); 19 Jul 3.4(3.06); 27 Jul 3.35 (3.01); 29 Jul 3.3 (2.97); 4 Aug 3.25 (2.92); 7 Aug 3.2 (2.88); 21 Aug 3.1 (2.79); 14.09 3 (2.7); 29th Sept 2.9(2.61); 15 Oct 2.8(2.52); 30 Oct 10 2.7(2.43); 13 Nov 2.65(2.38); 20 Nov 2.6(2.34); 26 Nov 2.55(2.29); 10 Dec 2.5(2.25); 2024 - 14 Jan 2.45(2.20); 22 Jan 2.40(2.16); 29 Jan 2.35(2.11); 2 Feb 2.3 (2.07);15 Feb 2.25(2.02); 22 Feb 2.21 (1.98); 29 Feb 2.17(1.95); 7 Mar 2.13(1.91); 21 Mar 2.05 (1.84); 31 Mar 2.01 (1.80); 14 Apr 1.90 (1.71); This is not 'medical advice' - my 'non medical advice' is don't get any more 'medical advice' or you may end up getting more 'medical treatment' i.e more drugs, DSM labels and/or ECT.
