Unfortunately I'm not doing very well at the moment. After a very bad setback-due to stress-in January I m getting better from this,but now something new showed up: I have the feeling I can t cope anymore with this situation. Not with my symtoms but with the situation i m in. Still have to rest a lot and Im sooooooo sick of feeling useless and lonley,hate coming home and feeling this way.This has turned into akathesia ang rage now and I just feel terrible. It s like I want to get out of my skin all the time and I can t relax anymore.But I m still to sick to go out for work. I want to change but i can t-thats how it feels-does anyone relate? thats my short update. lg solida This is not medical advice.

solida Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I also would like to say,that of course I have made a lot of improvement in the last year and I experienced a few nice windows, but it is still not the place where I want to be. I still can t handle any kind of stress,get anxious very easily ,bouts of depression and I still can t handle any kind of supplements.

Healing Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wilkommen, solida! (No, unfortunately, I do not speak German.) I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time right now. The rage and akathisia are terrible to experience. One thing -- you cannot fully trust your assessment of your life right now. Your ability to assess things is very skewed in a negative direction by the healing changes going on in your brain. Are you tapering off medication? Or have you been off all medication for a time? How long? 1996-97 - Paxil x 9 months, tapered, suffered 8 months withdrawal but didn't know it was withdrawal, so... 1998-2001 - Zoloft, tapered, again unwittingly went into withdrawal, so... 2002-03 - Paxil x 20 months, developed severe headaches, so... Sep 03 - May 05 - Paxil taper took 20 months, severe physical, moderate psychological symptoms Sep 03 - Jun 05 - took Prozac to help with Paxil taper - not recommended Jul 05 to date - post-taper, severe psychological, moderate physical symptoms, improving very slowly Link to comment
Healing Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 We were posting at the same time. I see you have been off a year. Congratulations! And that is great that you have had some improvement and some windows! But, still, I am sorry you are in a difficult place now! 1996-97 - Paxil x 9 months, tapered, suffered 8 months withdrawal but didn't know it was withdrawal, so... 1998-2001 - Zoloft, tapered, again unwittingly went into withdrawal, so... 2002-03 - Paxil x 20 months, developed severe headaches, so...

Healing Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Guten morgen, solida! It seems like a good idea for you to keep away from supplements. Your body just doesn't seem to want any substances added. I think it's best to follow your own wishes. As long as you *want* to do volunteer work, and it's not just a "should." Just keep checking in with yourself about the timing and nature of the work. Keep us posted. 1996-97 - Paxil x 9 months, tapered, suffered 8 months withdrawal but didn't know it was withdrawal, so... 1998-2001 - Zoloft, tapered, again unwittingly went into withdrawal, so... 2002-03 - Paxil x 20 months, developed severe headaches, so...

Administrator Altostrata Posted March 22, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted March 22, 2011 ...Now I start looking for some voluntary work-even thinking about gives me anxiety.But I want to try it.What do you think???... Try it a little bit at a time. Lots of volunteer work is maybe one hour a week, like at my local library. If you can do more, you will feel like it. If it's too much for you, you can make your apologies, rest, and try again after a while. It can be good to be among people and have simple, calm interactions.

Also, the right assignment could provide some necessary skills for the job market. It might be a good distraction but Surviving is right taking it slowly. Hang in there.

Regarding applying what you know in therapy when you're in withdrawal, that is a tough issue. Personally, I would have had a hard time doing that. It is only as time passes where I am able to rationally look at what has worked and what hasn't, that I can make improvements in my situation. But it still take alot of practice and repeated tries. Comp Sports PS - I forgot to mention that I found my current volunteer position by googling what was in my area. I realize that you may not be as lucky as doing so is a hit and miss proposition.

What those of us with long-term withdrawal syndrome have found is that the tension and anxiety are more intense and different from tension and anxiety that can be managed with therapy techniques. The damage to the nervous system is such that it generates the hormones creating fear, anxiety, and tension on its own, WITHOUT any emotional trigger. Your nervous system is set on "high alert." Emotions caused by worrying about your condition can add to the underlying biochemically caused anxiety. Worrying can be managed from moment to moment with the techniques you learned in therapy, but the biochemistry is much too strong for you to eliminate the symptoms with "good thinking." It's important to take responsibility for controlling worrying, the only one who can do that is you. But do not blame yourself or believe "wrong thinking" is causing your withdrawal syndrome symptoms. It is your damaged nervous system, not you. This is not medical advice.

solida Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hi, I have always the same symptoms, when i m in a wave or when Im ill or when I have done too much.I m so exhausted,nearly bedbound,my head is so heavy,as well as my arms and legs,my skin is burning and flu like symptoms(even without the flu) and I have the morning anxiety and morning swetting again.I had a few good weeks before.(but far away from beeing healthy) By the way,I have tested the cortisol levels-they are very high. The severe depression I had in the first 2Years has lifted,also the anxiety is far better.But emotional I m on a rollercoaster,like I get easely agressive,sad,envious and often act or feel like a child-no wonder that my friends are annoyed after such a long time not beeing myself anymore. solida Sept.2007 Citalopram for burn out,reverse reaction Paroxetin 20mg,5 weeks,had to stop because of reverse reaction after a manic episode,severe withdrawal hit after 6 weeks, hospitalization twice,during the first 2 years withdrawal got worse and worse disabled since Link to comment

Hey, Solida. I so understand how "rough it is when it's still so rough after that much time", but we need to look at the progress so far. Yes, we'd like to be already really *much* better by now, but taking it a day at a time is crucial.

Healing Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi Solida! I was just thinking of you and wondering how you were doing, and you appeared! I'm really sorry you're having the flu, and a w/d flare up, and that friends are being impatient. I'm glad you can see some progress overall. About being child-like -- I'm 48, and I've been in a lot of therapy and worked on myself a lot, and yet I am so child-like as I go through the neurological healing from the meds. Like you, I am very emotional, reactive, sensitive, volatile. It's very frustrating and humiliating to be an adult in mid-life and feel immature. Especially when I've already worked on myself so much. Personally, I believe we will end up even more mature for having gone through this process, but, even if you don't believe that, you will definitely return to normalcy eventually. I've watched it happen with other people. Sending good energy!

Certain things need time. Just time. Do what you can do, accept what needs to be accepted. In certain cases (like in WD), therapy is simply less effective. Don't worry about it. And also don't rebel against the WD. It's what it is. I know this first-hand. Every time I want to rush things, it backfires. Just a little more.

Administrator Altostrata Posted May 26, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted May 26, 2011 Also, solida, the work you have been doing in psychotherapy is not wasted. You can build on it to cope with symptoms. The problem is that our symptoms are not psychological in nature, they are physical. Because our nervous systems have been upset, they are sending out signals on their own, independent of our thinking and feeling. We can make symptoms worse by worrying, a psychological activity, and perhaps delay healing. The techniques you learn in psychotherapy will help you limit that. All we can do it trust to the future and the healing process, and take care of ourselves as best we can to move healing along. 1 This is not medical advice.

Administrator Altostrata Posted May 28, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted May 28, 2011 Interesting. I was just talking to someone about licorice root. Licorice root contains active biochemicals that increase the amount of cortisol in the kidney, effectively raising the level of a hormone called aldosterone in the body. This increases blood pressure and changes electrolyte balances, which could cause vivid symptoms. Here's an interesting article: http://drholly.typepad.com/licorice/ This is not medical advice.

The lungs are free but a acute brochitis. I m scared -I don t think I can take it because of my hypersensitivity. I had many infects since withdrawal,but this time it s really bad. What shall I do???? solida Sept.2007 Citalopram for burn out,reverse reaction Paroxetin 20mg,5 weeks,had to stop because of reverse reaction after a manic episode,severe withdrawal hit after 6 weeks, hospitalization twice,during the first 2 years withdrawal got worse and worse disabled since Link to comment
summer Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi... I have taken the "Z" pack several times without any problems whatsoever. In this case, I think your doctor is correct in giving you this script. I hope you start feeling better soon! Charter Member 2011 Link to comment
