ScottishLass Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 @HealthHopeHappinessthank you for asking. I am ok. I have unfortunately ended up on more drugs than I’ve ever been on trying to WD after becoming quite unwell. I was put on a cocktail of drugs one which I had to abruptly stop due to side-effects and guess what WD from. So I guess my plan to be medication free spectacularly back-fired. Something I have to grapple with. Apologies to any upset I caused here. Love and light SL Prozac 60mg ( 1998-2014). Also between (1998-2000) Short instances on Lithium, Risperidone, Quetiapine, Lamictal. Off all antipsychotics in (2000). Prozac stopped and switched Duloxetine(2014-Feb 2021) - after failed withdrawal from Prozac- misdiagnosed as 'Relap 2015 - approx 3 mths Lamictal Duloxetine:(Feb 21) Tapered from 60mg of Duloxetine over approx 6wks.

SertralineIssues29 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 @ScottishLass hey I've read through your thread and wondered what you ended up getting put on in the end, the cocktail as you call it. Don't beat yourself up about it either, this beast is something that no one should have to out up with Previous to pharma I was doing a fair bit of drinking and taking party drugs, mainly from the ages of 18 and 21 2014: started 20mg citalopram January 2015: switched to sertraline 50mg March 2017: dropped to 25mg sertraline Between these last 2 dates I was on and off the sert (now I know this was stupid) December 8th 2022: 50mg sertraline (adverse reaction: Suicidal images and homicidal images) December 19th 2022: ct from sertaline Sometime here had a paradoxical reaction to lorazepam (extreme anxiety, closed eye hallucinations) this caused the dpdr to start February 17th/19th 2023: WD from sertraline started Also had an amoxicillin treatment in February, not sure if this did anything but I did get akathisia from then "BUT I LOVE THE PAIN, LET IT RAIN AND WASH AWAY, LET IT CARRY YOU TO A BETTER PLACE AND FORGET MY NAME" Ambleside - Wash away Link to comment
