Wania Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Is there someone who struggled with sensitivities to all supplements? Im 9 months into withdrawal, Im on 8,5mg amitryptyline. I dont tolerare any single supplement beside mag oil topicaly, is it something that will improve with time? Also foods high im vit c and high in probiotics trigger me. My worst symptoms is akathisia, then tinnitus and weird head symptoms and anxiety with depression. 12.2017-02.2018 Mirtazapine - started adverse reactions after 2 months use and stopped without problems 04.2018 Amitryptyline 25mg 07.2019 Stopping Amitryptyline and starting Escitalopram 10 mg, stopping after a week and coming back to Amitryptyline 01.2020 starting Amitryptyline withdrawal, after a month of too fast tapper (from 25mg to 10mg) developed migraines, didnt connect the dots. 02.2020 went to ER with migraine, got IV torecan and developed severe akathisia (severe restless feeling throughout the body, panic, constant fear) and landed in psych ward. 4 days on benzos, Duoleksetine for 3 days, then back on Ami 30mg. Was stable, symptom free 03.2020 coming home and started Amitryptyline withdrawal again. I wasnt aware of need of slow tappering, psych alway told me to cut in half for few days. Decided to do it slower then she recommended, but it was still too fast.Cut to 20mg when got home (so was on 30mg just a week). 04.2020 Cut to 15mg. Felt amazing for a week, then cut to 13,5mg. Felt amazing another week. Cut to 12mg. After a week developed migraines again. Then connected dots that they are withdrawal migraines. Tried to up my doze again cause migraines were severe. Took 15 mg and got adverse reaction, akathisia came back, had jerking brain zaps all night long, didnt sleep. Next day took 12 mg again. Since then (25.04.2020) Im on 12mg again. 26.04.2020 added propranolol cause akathisia was too severe 10mg 2 times a day. 08.05 still on 12mg amitryptyline, upped propranolol to 10mg 3 times a day cause yesterday akatisia hit out of nowhere very severe, wanted to got o hospital afraid of my life. 31.05 goes to 11mg. 08.07 goes to 10mg. 22.07 bullyeyes rash, infected with Lyme. 20.08 goes to 9mg. 14.10 goes to 8,5mg.

Wania Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Guys, I got adverse reaction to med (torecan, for nausea, its antipsychotic) in ER year ago (severe akathisia with extreme panic and suicidal urges). I landed in psych ward. They upped my amitrypryline then and I was ok. But when I came home and wanted to start back my supplements for my other conditions occur that all of them are causing the same symptoms as from that IV! With first pill it was starting slow but getting bad if I was continuing to takw them. Few weeks later I started weaning off amitryptyline as I was afraid this is the reason. Now Im on 8,5mg, 3 months now on that doze. I still dont tolerate anything, I tried about 20-30 supplements and Im reacting to all of them. Why is that, what happened? Can it improve? I cant treat other conditions as Im reacting to everything I tried, this is so scary. 12.2017-02.2018 Mirtazapine - started adverse reactions after 2 months use and stopped without problems 04.2018 Amitryptyline 25mg 07.2019 Stopping Amitryptyline and starting Escitalopram 10 mg, stopping after a week and coming back to Amitryptyline 01.2020 starting Amitryptyline withdrawal, after a month of too fast tapper (from 25mg to 10mg) developed migraines, didnt connect the dots. 02.2020 went to ER with migraine, got IV torecan and developed severe akathisia (severe restless feeling throughout the body, panic, constant fear) and landed in psych ward. 4 days on benzos, Duoleksetine for 3 days, then back on Ami 30mg.

Eastcoastgirl Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I had severe nausea and slow gut motility for many years & ginger gravol and/or fresh ginger tea was very helpful during those times. The ginger gravol tablets have no other ingredients that will trigger withdrawal, unlike regular gravol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried iberogast, essential oils topicaly and they are triggering. Will try mint. Acupressure can help nausea. Don't know how well it would work if you have actual vomiting too, might not work then, but, you can get bands that go on your wrist and press on the relevant acupressure point (so you don't have to hold it down continuously with your finger.) At least it's something you can try that's not likely to make the situation worse. Essential oils can be pretty powerful even without having an issue from psych drugs. I tried one way back when before I had reactions to pills, and it actually burned my skin. Didn't help me at all. I used to spend a lot of time reading about herbs and found some herbalists won't recommend them.

There is a yoga position that gets talked about around here which can help with feelings of terror, but hard to do of course if you can't sit still.

Melany Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I thought I was crazy but tested and tested and tested and I cannot take any suplements. The worst is Vit D and I am deficient in it. I found tons of people online having the same issue. I can take magnesium through my skin also, was such a relief. Since I started Prozac I can t take anything, I go nuts and I was a person living on pills, was having daily at least one, periods of 15 pills a day due to my conditions. Then my doctor suggested that I might have an intolerance to excipients. I get the worst anxiety on them after 3 4 days and it takes me a week to recover. My husband practically threw them out. Anyone like this? I eat like crap, wish I could supplement. JUNE 2019 Tried Coaxil ,wellbutrin, cipralex, mirtazapine, effexor, sertraline, benzoS for 5 months.November 2019 started prozac 30 mg, took till May 2020 and started tapering 5 mg at a time till reached 2.5mg once every 2 3 days.January 2020 stopped benzos (tapered for 2 months).27 December 2020 stopped Prozac, 2 bad weeks.January and february was feeling well.I am taking 2 mg of lorazepam /year.Tried 5Htp 100mg Febr 2020 for a copule of days, vomited non stop. Stopped right away.No supplements, possibly allergic to excipients now. 30 mg of Ulipristil acetate on 25th of febr. Reinstated 0.4 mg of prozac 12 march , had 0.2mg 13 march. Stopped reinstatement, feeling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same on Prozac . I'm pretty sure it's the antidepressants. Maybe they made the brain more "permeable" somehow.

labrat15 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hey everyone so I have recently tapered off two antidepressants called Viibryd and Rexulti. I also use Cannabis to manage Anxiety and Depression and use Sudafed for allergies and I started to have different reactions to both of these medications. During my first withdrawal off the Viibryd I noticed that the Sudafed really helped with the withdrawal symptoms but after about a month it changed and it started to exasperate symptoms and even started to make me feel disoriented almost as if my nervous system was just completely overloaded. I discontinued the Sudafed and experienced a mild withdrawal from that that lasted about a week. I also noticed that the Cannabis would make me feel more anxious during the withdrawal process but helped the depression and boredness so I continued to smoke. After 2 months the anxiety from the pot stopped and I was able to completely tolerate pot again but the Sudafed I was still unable to tolerate so I completely gave it up. I decided to start the Rexulti taper about 2 months ago after levelling out from the Viibryd taper and I again started to get anxious from the cannabis. I started to level out from the Rexulti taper after about a month and the anxiety from the pot smoking got a little better as well. I noticed that I was experiencing some concentration problems from the pot since my tapers and have had troubles concentrating on my school work. I think the concentration problems are also from the antidepressant tapers but it seemed like the pot exasperated the problem as well. I decided to try and give up pot about 3 weeks ago but I have experienced the worst withdrawal I have ever experienced from Cannabis or any drug for that matter and I don't know what to do. I have been getting extreme morning cortisol spikes that are unbearable, restlessness though the roof, brain fog, and a lack of any motivation to do anything. I am on week 4 now and I don't want to start smoking again and have to do it all over again but I am thinking that my body is just completely overloaded from the previous 2 tapers from the antidepressants and I just cannot tolerate another taper. I have found Cannabis very useful for managing anxiety and depression and maybe it is to soon to try and discontinue it or maybe I should just stay on it indefinitely. Some input would be greatly appreciated. Lexapro 20 mg 2015-2020. Tapered down and currently at 5 mg Wellbutrin 2019 for 3 months. Tapered off completely Mirtazapine 30 mg 2019-2021.

labrat15 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I just tried smoking pot again 2 days ago and had a very bad reaction similar to the Sudafed reaction that I get now and I don't understand what is going on. I don't feel euphoric at all and I get dizzy, screwed up vision, and loss of coordination which is just mental. Basically I feel completely disorientated and I am worried that this is something serious considering all the horrific things these medications can do to people. I should probably stop googling stuff but its kinda hard when your totally panicked. Pot helps me a lot and the Sudafed is the only thing that helps my allergies and I don't want to get on an inhaler again so this is a bit of a problem. The weird reaction was noticeable during the Viibryd withdrawal but when I started to level out I was able to tolerate pot again. It has been really noticeable since my Rexulti taper and its been 2 months and I've levelled out but I still cannot tolerate anything. Should I just give myself a couple months to get back to normal before trying again? Is there anyone who experienced weird reactions to drugs in the early stages of antidepressant/antipsychotic withdrawal and were able to restart them or will I not be able to tolerate anything anymore?

labrat15 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Oh wow ok that's ridiculous becoming that sensitive to even supplements I'm guessing that the Sudafed is definitely not an option now? Do you think I could eventually go back on in after a long period of recovery? I tried smoking a way lower percentage of pot which was at about 8 percent thc and 10 percent cbd and had a way better reaction so I think I'm just going to go with that its not worth going through the pot withdrawal right now when my system is still messed up it was worse than any pot withdrawal I have ever experienced.

From https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/pseudoephedrine "Pseudoephedrine is a phenethylamine and a diastereomer of ephedrine with sympathomimetic property. Pseudoephedrine displaces norepinephrine from storage vesicles in presynaptic neurones, thereby releasing norepinephrine into the neuronal synapses where it stimulates primarily alpha-adrenergic receptors. It also has weak direct agonist activity at alpha- and beta- adrenergic receptors." 2 hours ago, labrat15 said: I tried smoking a way lower percentage of pot which was at about 8 percent thc and 10 percent cbd This is a discussion topic about this where other members have posted about their experiences: cannabis-marijuana-hashish-thc-cbd-cannabidiol-or-hemp-oil * NO LONGER ACTIVE on SA * MISSION ACCOMPLISHED: (6 year taper) 0mg Pristiq on 13th November 2021 ADs since ~1992: 25+ years - 1 unknown, Prozac (muscle weakness), Zoloft; citalopram (pooped out) CTed (very sick for 2.5 wks a few months after); Pristiq: 50mg 2012, 100mg beg 2013 (Serotonin Toxicity) Tapering from Oct 2015 - 13 Nov 2021 LAST DOSE 0.0025mg Post 0 updates start here My tapering program My Intro (goes to tapering graph) VIDEO: Antidepressant Withdrawal Syndrome and its Management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
