Leila Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I don't find informations about it in the site (but if it's not a right place to post it, please some moderators to move it). I would to ask if someone tried this supplement often prescribed for fibromyalgic pain (that sometimes could be similar to pain induced by WD) and had some benefits. Here some informations (from Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitoylethanolamide July 2015: the 20mg citalopram for great stress begins After two years I start tapering (slow but without medical advice) and I guess wrongly. First up to 10 mg, then 5 mg and 2 mg (liquid solution) and skips January 2020 (I don't remember exactly the day): off citalopram (last dose 2mg). June 2020: adrenal crash. The beginning of Hell on Earth Current supplement: - saffron pill (20 mg) + vit. E, omega 3 (EPA + DHA) 2g, magnesium bisglycinate 300 mg, iron , vitamin D3 (2500ui) +K7 (50 ui), vitamin C (1g) + quercitin (25 mg), theanine (as necessary). Try meditating / mindfulness, walking every day, CBT/ACT, massage.

MNgal1960 Posted Saturday at 11:45 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:45 PM Many years ago it helped my small fiber neuropathy. Prior meds: Trazodone a few years ago. Low dose for sleep. Didn't work. Tapered off quickly. Many years ago: Severe adverse reaction to Prozac. Short trial of Zoloft with rapid, ugly taper. 2012-2013 Prescribed Xanax for severe insomnia. Became dependent quickly. Dose up to 1.8mg. Nov. 2014 New doctor anti-benzo but thought a 4-month taper was safe. Failed and stopped due to extreme symptoms. Added 25mg Seroquel for sleep 2 hours before bed. Also take gabapentin (400mg x 2). June 2015 Crossed to Valium. 30mg V (3 x 10mg). August 3, 2019 .01mg V. Last dose tonight. January 2020 began to taper Q and G (dang, I can't remember which one I did first) July 2020 Now taking 100mg gabapentin 3x/day and 20mg of Seroquel at night for sleep. September 2020 down to half a Q tablet (12.5mg), holding Q, tapering gabapentin with difficulty, down to 100mg at bedtime November: back to 100mg gabapentin 3x/day, still at 12.5mg Q (2 hours before bed as sleep aid, but I think it is burned out) December: Added 20mg of propranolol and 1/2mg melatonin 1 1/2 hours before bed Link to post Share on other sites
Leila Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago Thank you for your answer, @MNgal1960! Can I ask you if you saw benefits immediatly or if it works on accumulation? Thank you!

MNgal1960 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago It was over a month before I saw benefits. Also, I took twice what the label said divided into 3 doses/day (one with each meal). I think the package said to try for 6 weeks before deciding it didn't work. I'm sorry, it was long ago and my memory is not great. Best wishes to you. Prior meds: Trazodone a few years ago. Low dose for sleep. Didn't work. Tapered off quickly. Many years ago: Severe adverse reaction to Prozac. Short trial of Zoloft with rapid, ugly taper. 2012-2013 Prescribed Xanax for severe insomnia.
