ryan1982 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Hey all- Hope everyone is doing as well as can be today. One question I have is around how people manage to cope during a long wave? In my head, I have a lot of trouble not looking down the road 1-6 months to fun events/trips with friends and family and worry that I won’t be able to make them. Or if I do go, it’ll be miserable. Does anyone else deal with this? I’m really grappling with putting my social life on hold at the moment and worried I’ll miss big events with my wife and kids if I don’t get better soon...and I feel like that puts even more pressure on myself to feel better. The cycle continues. I welcome any thoughts or feedback! 2005- 2008: Lorazepam (max dose- 1 MG daily) 2008- 2016: Lexapro (max dose-10 MG daily) January 2017- March 2017- Pristiq (max dose- 100 MG daily) April 2017- June 2017: Trintellix (max dose- 10 MG) July 2017- October 2017: Lexapro (max dose-10 MG daily) November 2017- April 2018- Luvox (max dose- 100 MG) May 2018- Zoloft (max dose- 18.75) 5/28/18- 3 MG Lexapro, 6/3/18- 3 MG Lexapro, 6/7/18- 3.5 MG Lexapro, 6/13/18- 4 MG Lexapro, 6/21/18- 4.5 MG Lexapro, 6/28/18- 3/29/21- 4 MG Lexapro, 3/30/21- Present- 3.8 MG Lexapro **Bad Wave Caused by Trileptal 150 MG (one pill) in December '20 and Low Dose Naltrexone .12 MG (one pill) in April '21** "The Journey is The Reward" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we have have to go with the flow and when I’m good I make up for it with my family. My social friends don’t know what’s happening to me as I keep it private so I don’t have to hear there opinions. If we hade Cancer we could tell people we’re no feeling well and can’t attend and everyone would be supportive, we just have to fake it til we make it. 1995 started Paxil 20mg slowly increasing to 50mg 2014 I decided to tapper myself not knowing how too and crashed , DR added 50mg of Seroquel Through the years made many mistakes tapering Started Tapering Both drugs at the same time 7.5% per month Paxil 9% Seroquel doing daily micro-taper Guided by Mark Horowitz 31/3/24 Paxil 10.31mg 31/3/24 Seroquel 9.9mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
