Derok: Dealing with Pain

[derok]

i have been reading this forum a lot lastly. im not english native but i can read pretty well . 

i can find like 80% of my symptoms in common with the people coming from an AD w/d

Actually im having nervousness and low days following the window and wave evolution (but i should add that this thing have been improving).

My problems i believe come from (i dont feel any proud of...) one intake of  illegal substance (mdma) than from the ADs that i had to take after the anxiety that mdma induced (lexapro and paroxetine)

i have brain zaps too...the same pattern as ADs! 

i have food sensitivities and medicantion too, induced for this state.

Cause the symptoms are the same...i truly thing that whatever happened in my brain, is close to what happened in a person with ad withdrawal .

i stopped all medication. sometimes docs give me relaxants (but i had anxiety coming off them so i guess now im very sensitive)

 

Now my mood is doing weekly waves but this improved.

im fighting mainly limbs ache , neck ache, and jaw pain , and its because i have bruxism when i sleep  and maybe RLS, severe one. i think that it improved from the last 2 years but i the pain today is not easy to deal with. i have a mouth guard that help a little

 

i wanted to ask your knowledge and research about some help (supplements, medication..) that could help me with the pain. also if would be nice if you could help me with your way to deal with the pain daily.

 

thanks a lot a sorry for the possible mistakes i did in the post.

Hello Derok, welcome to the forum.

 

It is not clear to me what medications you have taken, when you took them and for what length of time you took them, and when you stopped them.  From your post, it sounds like you took lexapro and paroxetine for some period of time and then stopped them both without tapering. Is that correct? You refer to also taking relaxants, what were those?

 

I suspect that much of what you are experiencing now actually is withdrawal, but I don't know enough about your medication history to be able to say for sure. Maybe you could give us a more clear history. It would be helpful if you could put your history into your signature line, like this: http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/893-please-put-your-withdrawal-history-in-your-signature/

 

As far as how to deal with the pain, I would recommend reading through threads in the Symptoms and Self Care section. You can go back to older pages and see if anyone has posted anything on that topic. Pain is very common in psych med withdrawal.

 

Welcome to the forum. I hope you will find support and useful information here.
