Catina7 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Thank you for sharing this. It is indeed a "growing epidemic" that is intensifying each and every day. Hopefully we will begin to see an increase in withdrawal services, education, and training as time goes on. It's a problem that cannot be ignored! 1 1994 - 2017: Prozac, Cymbalta, Celexa, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Seroquel, Buspar, Lorazepam, Ambien. 2005: Trazodone 50 mg (due to insomnia from Cymbalta) 2017: Effexor XR 75 mg (Gee, let's try THIS one! Biggest mistake of my life.) 2019: Missed one dose and had WD symptoms for three months straight...complete nightmare 2020 (March): Began 10% monthly taper of Effexor XR (got down to 12 mg) 2021 (September): Hit a brick wall. Became suicidal from terror-level anxiety and insomnia. Ended up in psych ward for a week. Went back up to 37.5 mg I am currently holding until I feel fully stable. If all goes well, I plan on continuing my titration beginning 2024. Reasons for starting psych meds: PMDD/Depression (resolved with menopause & Ketogenic diet), Generalized/Social Anxiety Disorders Other medications: Levothyroxine 75 mcg Supplements: Dr. Berg's Electrolyte Powder, Magnesium Glycinate, Fish Oil, & Vitamin D3/K2.

Fortunately Great Britain has officially caught on to the problem and is starting to actively work on it. I think Canada and Australia may also be catching on. If the UK NHS is on to this it won't be too long before the US starts to take notice. This is a problem that is getting harder to hide and will eventually get addressed. Take care and heal on cat lady. I have 3 feline love bugs myself. At one point I had 9.😉✌️😺😺😺 Current Psychiatric Medications Paxil 10mg daily (a.m.) 2017 - Present Carbamazepine 400mg daily (split half a.m. and half p.m.) 2011 - Present Recently Stopped Psychiatric Medications Seroquel - Tapered from 700mg to 0mg From April 2018 to August 2021 - Final Dose 6.25mg - In Recovery Past Psychiatric Medications From 1994 to April 2018 - Depakote, Lithium, Risperidone, Xanax, Lamotrigene, Olanzapine, Lorazepam, Welbutrin, Trazodone, Oxazepam, Gabapentin, Abilify, Topiramate, Prazosin, Ambien (See Attached Spreadsheet And Seroquel Tapering And WIthdrawal Summary) Current Non Psychiatric Medications - Levothyroxine 88mcg (a.m.)-Vitamin D3 1000 IU (p.m.)-Fexofenadine 180 mg twice daily -Metoprolol 25mg (p.m.)-Azelastine Nasal Spray-Ipratropium Bromide Nasal Spray Other - Fish Oil Twice Daily-Multi-Vitamin (a.m.)-Vitamin C 1000mg Daily (a.m.)-Saline Nasal Spray-Benadryl-Salsalate 750mg twice daily PRN, Diclofenac Gel on affected joint PRN-Magnesium Citrate 125mg twice dailyQuitting Seroquel_A Vacation In Hell_Redacted.pdf Link to All Uploaded Documents https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/26099-feralcatman-recovering-from-seroquel/?do=findComment&comment=633907 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
