I have had what I consider severe Akathesia it has slowly gone down, I been taking 500mg of fish oil as recommended. Should I stop it . Been taking it for about 2 months . My restless has become less but I still have on and off internal leg tremors 

[Altostrata]

What are the current symptoms that you describe as akathisia?

[Paxil3days]

Current symptoms include: 

 

-inner leg tremors ( has become on and off during this past two weeks) 

-inner restlessness (that has lessened a lot since the beginning of the adverse reaction ) 

-moderate to mild inner whole body tremors ( seems to have lessen since beginning of adverse reaction) 

-anhedonia (was getting better but this week back on due to arguments) 

-tension headache ( back of head tensions headache, also seems to have lessened since beginning of adverse reaction)

-Si thoughts that come and go with the anhedonia , has again lessened since reaction but still there). 
 

I am in month 4 since reaction began!

4 months is not long on the timescale of recovery from withdrawal syndrome.

 

Fish oil and magnesium may or may not help. If something makes you feel worse, reduce it or stop it.

[Paxil3days]

@Altostrata I know it’s not long but, yet again I am trying to figure a way to minimize long term. 
 

My tremors now come and go whereas before they were everyday, 

 

However in waves some old symptoms feel to come back… what timelines does it look like when it comes back then goes ?

That is typical of waves and windows. Symptoms come and go, mutate, very slowly fade.

 

This can occur for many months, with very gradually less frequent and less severe waves.

@Paxil3days Im not sure if this will help, but once I realized the healing process was just gonna take as long as it takes, it helped me to come to acceptance! Sadly you cant put a time frame on your healing! Just have to accept you are in it for the long haul and the end result will be you are healed!! I used to count the days When I stopped doing that and just let it ride, it got easier!! You are going to be ok!! Trust in that and don't worry about the details!! It will all work out in the end

Hey @StarShopping87 I am doing much better than I was 9 months ago. There are still some cycles of waves that do occur when I completely exhaust myself from exercise, work and other events in my life. 
 

The most constant symptom that remains is the head pressure feeling, although it’s a lot more milder than it was in the beginning but it is something I do notice bc before the pill I never had it. Overall most of the symptoms have gone away. Sometimes randomly I do experience some leg tremors but even that is become more and more mild. Keep going, it will get better I promise it will. This website and the people on her are great .

Omg that is soooo amazing to hear!! This gives me a lot of hope. My 2 major symptoms right now are insomnia and head pressure. Majority of my panic and anxiety are chemical but it’s nothing like it was a month ago. I have developed anxiety around sleep though and it’s terrible. I’ve been talking to some people on here in our position and this gives me soo much hope for recovery. I feel so alone right now and fear it will never end. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

When did you start noticing improvements?

@StarShopping87 I don’t want to give you an exact answer because every human body heals on it’s own time, but mine I would say I started noticing major improvements around the 7-9 month mark, but again this does not mean your will be this way, hopefully you will recover much sooner, hang in there.

Thank you, I understand. We are all different with different stories. Did you by chance have insomnia really bad in the beginning? If so, has your sleeping improved?

I had a severe adverse reaction to 3 pills of Lexapro 6 months ago. I’m still experiencing dizziness, derealization, blurry vision, unbalanced feeling, hot flashes. Did you have any of these? 
 

I’ve noticed a slight improvement from the 5.5 month to 6 month mark. But I’m still housebound daily, not able to walk much at all and dizzy with weird vision everyday. 
 

How long have you been off of Paxil for? 

Hi @rebeccaannxo , hi I have been off Paxil for over a year now , I am feeling a lot better , I forced my self to run on the treadmill in month 4 even though the symptoms were acting up, but it helped I believe overall. It does get better the dizziness eventually went away , the vision gets better , and when any of these symptoms come back they are so mild that you may never notice them at all. Hang in there give it some more time .
