Fallensoul: introducing my story, a fallen soul, when happiness turns into horror


Fallensoul

Recommended Posts

Hello Altostra, 

 

here is the regime with current doses:

Supplements:

3x500mg gaba, 3x5mg Lithium Orotate, 3x 500mg L-Tyrosine, 3 x 400mg magnesium citrate , 3 x 1000mg vit. C, 1x15mg Zinc,

3 times 2mg Molybdeen Glycinate, 2 times 2000mg Omega 3-6-9 and 1x16mg B6 (P5P)

 

Taken at:

13:00u, 17:30u and 22:00u (B6 and Zinc at 13:00u, Omega 3-6-9 at 13:00u and 17:30u )

 

 

Meds:

8:30u 0.90mg Lorazepam, 2.61mg Paroxetine *
13:00u 0.90mg Lorazepam

17:30u 0.90mg Lorazepam, 2.61mg Paroxetine  

22:00u 0.45mg Lorazepam, 0.45mg Lormetazepam, 2.2 mg Mirtazipine

23.30u 22mg Clomipramine  (was never a succus, I don't know how much I benefit from this)

*Split dose for less spikes in serumvalue's

Symptoms:

Symptoms are less emotional/mental problems then a time ago, meaning not so sad/depressed anymore and allmost no anxiety, but more physicall, like extreme stress/ restless/ tension/panicfeeling in body, breathing OCD when nervous, akathisia, diarrhea and sometimes very unwell feeling in body and also in mind as a reaction on these symptoms. 
After wakeup is the worst time, first very tired, then the mentioned symptoms sometimes another spike arround 21:00
As soon as I take the Mirt at 22:00u, symptoms lessen, or even go away. 
Smoking has a very bad effect and I smoke currently 5 cigs, the later, the better (less effect on stress).
Sometimes I have a feeling I'm allmost out of it, but the coin flips the wrong way for now.

Thanks for looking at it!

Edward.

Could it be the paroxetine split that made me feel worse?

5 is not the same as 2x2,5 due the peak values influencing the receptor  occupancy different?

I started spliting the dose on 13 april, and after ~a week after it I became less depressed, but more nervouss/panicly and stressed.

Also the repeating intrussive thoughts about breathing flare up again, crazy monkey brain goes on and on :( This is probably the  last horde, but when will this be gone, it blocks good mood/thoughts, sabotage wellbeing and stands between complete recovery for now. It goes on the whole day...

 

It suspect its not the root of the panic/stress, but a result of it.

This is an impressive cocktail. You are taking 3 antidepressants. In addition, the lorazepam may be causing interdose or paradoxical reactions.

Yes, allthough I read Mirt at this dose mainly hit the histamine receptors and act not as an antidepressant?
Its the only thing thats gives a relief when taken for sleep.

What do you think of this:

Could it be the paroxetine split that made me feel temporary worse?

5 is not the same as 2x2,5 due the peak values influencing the receptor  occupancy different?
So that in fact a made suddenly a bigger jump in taper, say 10%?

What do suggest in tapering first?

Should I undo the split, and take just 5,22 at once?

Again a bad day, constant in panic, unbelievable, I thought I was on the way up.

I thought due its shot halflife, it was wise to split the dose in two parts

In this case 5,4 in 2x2,7.

But I think I did it wrong.

 

Could it be the paroxetine split from

5,4 is not the same as 2x2,7 due the (lower) peak values influencing the receptor occupancy different,( lower occupancy).
So that in fact a made suddenly a bigger jump in taper, say 10%, above the chronic taper I also do.

 

A few days after this I started to be  even more nervouss, panicly, stressed ect. then I was, so mainly an increase in physicall issues.

 

I started the split on 13 april and stil have the issues.

 

What to do? Go back at a single dose, or ride it out?

I thought this was specific about dose splitting for AD's with short half lifes when reaching low doses and could be of any use for anybody. There are no such subjects on the forums AFAIK.

I go back to a single dose of 5,22

With a step in between so 2.61 this morning and 2,61+1,3 this evening and 5,22 tommorow evening without a morning dose.

 

I'm dissapointed by the lack of response, but I'm asking to much or expecting answers to quickly due the buzy site.

Hi @Fallensoul

From my own experience with Paxil, I do not think it’s a good idea to split the dosage. Paxil has a short half life so keeping consistent amount in your blood stream with one dosage at the same time every day, would be in my opinion the best way to go.

This is just my opinion, but you might want to ask alto to make sure that would be the safest way to go first. Be careful when messing with the Paxil dosages.

Take care

Thanks Hanna,

 

I go back to a single dose.

I started the dose split just for the more constant bloodlevels at 13 april, but I forgot the fact that this I lower the peak bloodlevels too. I'm 

back at the single evening dose of 5,22 tommorow with one step of 3,9 this evening to fill the gap for the missing morning dose tommorow. Hopefully this ease things down quickly.

I hope I did not release the Kraken with gooing back to a single dose. I'm not anxious or depressed anymore, only extreme tension/restless/akathisia with a mix of panic now and then and a short time very tired when waking up.
Cns is so stressed/sensative, that besides caffeine, smoking (to early) is playing Russian roulette.

Do you have any of the symptoms of major interactions shown in this report?

 

Please keep daily notes of times of day you take your drugs, their dosages, and your symptoms throughout the day. 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.

 

My guess is your symptoms are from the lorazepam, either interdose withdrawal or a paradoxical reaction. What has been your history of lorazepam dosing in the last 2 years? It is unclear from your signature. You've been taking it regularly since 1998?

No symtoms mentioned in the major list.(I sometimes have morning sweats after heavy dreaming, and diahrea when nervous after a smoke in the morning)

Just a constant state of stress/restlessness, flight or fight state, even a state of worrying/panic in body and mind, esp. when smoking.
Symtoms ease, or allmost go away in the evening, eps. after the intake of 2,2mg Mirtazipine.

 

I was slowly improving, but this stopped 1-2 weeks after splitting my paroxetine dose from a single 5.4 to a two times dose of 2,7. I have reversed this back now to one single dose. 

 

I take the lorazepam since april 2019, 3,5mg and 0,5mg Lormetazepam for sleep.

I have no increasements in symtoms just before the next intake of lorazepam.

 

Will start making the 24s notes tomorrow.

Many thanks for taking the time for me!

Tolerance to benzo's can feel like a paradoxial reaction:

https://www.benzoinfo.com/paradoxical-reactions/

 

Should I allready taper 10% down.

My symtoms are the same through the whole day, constant state off panic, stress, restless, pins and needles in underarm awfull I dont know where to sit, stay etc. 

 

It's strange I was improving till I start splitting the paroxetine. I have so much regret I did this. After this I started to have these issues....

This evening back to the single dose.

 

Btw, can I test/reproduce this paradoxial reaction to take one time a higher dose of lorazepam?

Unbelievable what the dose split has disrupted

After a night without sleep, today totally disabled and feeling horrible, braindead, exhausted.

Hopefully it doesn't take weeks to adjust  to the single dose again.

 

Second biggest mistake I made, this stuff is dangerous. Never abruptly split your dose into half, its not the same, esp. when taking low doses.

Just a constant state of stress/restlessness, flight or fight state, even a state of worrying/panic in body and mind, esp. when smoking.

 

Perhaps you should cut down on your smoking?

5:30    Not anxious or stressed, take lorazepam 0,9mg, go to bed, can't sleep (yes due the switch back to a single dose paroxetine)

11:45   wakeup, feel awfull, almost had no sleep feel down and lifeless, eat one slice of bread and a cup of green tea, lay on counch

12:30  take 0,9mg lorazepam, 500mg gaba, 5mg Lithium Orotate, 500mg L-Tyrosine,  200mg magnesium citrate , 1000mg vit. C, 15mg Zinc,

           2mg Molybdeen Glycinate, 2000mg Omega 3-6-9 and 1x16mg B6 (P5P)

17:00  Dinner slightly less tired, down mood, still have appetite, take 5,22 mg Paroxetine, 0,9mg lorazepam, 500mg gaba, 5mg Lithium Orotate,

           500mg L-Tyrosine,  200mg magnesium citrate , 1000mg vit. C, 2mg Molybdeen Glycinate, 2000mg Omega 3-6-9

17:30   take smal cup of coffee and one sigarette, less nervous/panicly than the day before, but also quite depressed

Day quality 4 (ranging between 3 and 5,  the last in the late evening)  (1=worst 10=best)

 

 

Please stop taking the supplements that are in bold, they can cause anxiety. Why are you taking lithium rotate and molybdeen glycinate?

 

Why do you take lorazepam at 5:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 5 p.m., 10 p.m.? Why do you also take lormetazepam at 10 p.m.? Why do you take these with mirtazapine? Why do you take clomipramine after you take mirtazapine, lorazepam, and lormetrazepam?

 

How is your sleep?

Already cutting, just one cig. less and I don't smoke anymore before dinner.

I didn't know that Tyrosine can cause anxity, it was an advise from my orthomoluculair doc. for stress. I'll cut/taper it ride away, thanks!
The Lithium orotate was also given to fight stress.

Molybdeen is for accumulating meds waste, I seem unable to clear them completely from my body.

 

The Lorazepam times and the Lormetazepam are prescripted from my psychiatrist.
The 5:30u was an exception, I was allready wake and didn't want to get waked again on the nomal intake time. (8:30U).

Mirt was initial a crossover AD, but at higher dose it didn't work, so I tapered back. And keep a low dose because I sleep so well on it.

IT was said by my psychiatrist to take Clomipramine just before bedtime.

Sleep is mostly good, thanks to Mirt.

Do you agree with my finding on the dose split, disrupting everything again?
Today a strange day, first very tired, then a weird desorientated restless feeling througout the evening. I messed it up bigtime with the so called dosesplit. (probably due big changes it receptor occupancy due low dose?

I understand you're taking this array of drugs and supplements under expert advice, but they may be causing your symptoms, not helping. If you've got 2 experts advising you, why are you here?

 

I suspect your overuse of benzodiazepines has more to do with your symptoms than the paroxetine dosage spilt, though inconsistent dosing of paroxetine might be involved.

 

Please continue to post daily notes.

I'm here because those experts are unable to solve my issue's, and most importantly, I want to get off meds.  I feel they have destroyed me.(Hopefully temporary).

These experts have no clue how to do this, so I get no support with that.

 

I'm desparate to get out is this 3 year missery, I feel stucked with those meds which I can't stop quickly, horrible day in day out.

 

I allready started with another 10% benzo taper today, and hold it for 4 weeks.

 

I will leave the ad's alone for a while?

 

Thanks for your time, and I continue with my notes.

Today a terrible day, symtoms I can't discribe, feeling sick mentally and physically. I could only lay on the couch, totally drained, my brain is in chaos, unable to handle daily tasks/impulses, feel normal emotions, feeling surrondings (feeling off this world), only disorientation and panic the first halve of the day. Later tight chest watery stress urine, nausea, awfull. What have I done with the split, before I was improving....
Symtoms still mostly physicall, but non the less horrible.

 

Could this really be delayed withdrawal from the dose split?

 

I have calculated the peakdose is more then 10% less with a dose split, taking a 24u halftime into account. Plus the normal taper I am in. This considering the cirtical receptor occupancy with low doses could explain this?

Please someone in the know reply.

You're taking this ridiculous cocktail plus 22mg clomipramine and you're not sleeping?

You're taking 0.8mg lorazepam at 6:30 a.m.?

 

What is your regular daily schedule of your drugs, or do you take benzos whenever you feel like it?

 

How are you reducing your benzo intake?

 

Please stop taking 5mg Lithium Orotate and Molybdeen Glycinate. Please continue to post daily notes.

Yep, but only for 2 days after I went back to a single dose Paroxetine, last night and normally I sleep well.
(I also got disrupted sleep at the end of the paroxetine dose split period, extreme restless/panic, even at night for a few days)

 

Yes, I was still awake and wouldn't get awake for it when I finally sleep at 8:30u, which happend, so I took it earlier.
These are my normal Lorazepam times

 

8:30u  
13:00u  

17:30u  

22:00u  

I try to reduce it every 4-6 weeks with 10% with a razorblade and a scale cutting and weighing to the preferred dose.

Whats wrong with Lithium Orotate and Molybdeen?  The latter one is for clearing medical waste which I fail to do completely.  
Its part of this protocol from my ortho doctor:

-Zinc, Omega 3-6-9 and Molybdeen

 

Today less dp/dr, allmost all the symptoms I had yesterday are gone.

But, there is always a dealbreaker, the trusty old anxiety  (and intrussive thoughts about breathing ) hyjacks my mind today.

(punishment of 2 cigs and 2 cups of coffee, and Lora taper I guess, but its so difficult to cut addictions esp. when nervous)

But I feel better mood and motivation knocking at the door again, and thats gold.

 

Will set the notes online later.

Thanks for your support/help, really appreciate the direct way of cummunicating.

Btw, those benzo's aren't working anymore, tolerance set in a long time ago. But tapering from an anxious state was allmost impossible.

I know the hardest part has still to come, but the first 20% seems to be manageable.

The insanity of adverse working or pooped out ad's is what really scared me.

I hope suffering will lift somewhat soon, after 3 years kept prisoned, the will to live big is stronger then ever.

Today "out of nowhere" a very bad day. Physically and mentally disabled, couldn't handle daily stress/anxiety , and had to lay down the whole day, disconnected from reality/surroundings  etc., horibble. Didn't expect this at all, after improved yesterday.

Could this came from past stress, I am broken mentally, if I loose contact with the world, braindead, panicly because of that. Or is the benzo taper responsible?

 

If I find the energy, if put the daily notes online, but I'm to broken at this moment.

(Due lorazepam 10% drop? )I am still in very bad shape.  Severe tired, mental and physically, dr/dp, sad mood, nausea, restnessless/panic/anxiety , diahrea, feeling sick, totall disabled. I did not expect this so severe again.

Can a 10% benzo taper set you so much back?

 

When I'm a bit better, I will resume daily notes, just to ill for now.
