I tried to get off it several times. WD symptoms were mistaken for "relapse". 2013 too fast taper down to 5mg but WD forced me back to 20mgs June of 2105, tapered again too rapidly to 2.5mgs by Dec 2015. Found SA, held at 2.5 mgs til May 2016 when I foolishly "jumped off". felt ok til Sept, then acute WD hit!! reinstated at 0.3mgs in Oct. 2106 Tapered off to zero by Oct. 2017 Doing very well, age 62 (total of 42 yrs on psych meds) Nov. 2018 feel 95% healed, age 63 Jan. 2020 feel 100% healed, peaceful and content Aug 2022❤️ loving life ❤️ age 66 - and things just keep getting better!

I have to get my laptop out to update my signature. Is there a setting that I can change so I can get the color button? One more question.

Brandy Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Haven't been here much lately, and usually then only a quick glance at something without signing in. So forgive me if this has been covered already and I don't see it. I am having some tech problems I never had before. One is that when I click on a different page number on forums list or long thread, or even "Prev"/"Next" etc., it just jumps back to the top of the same page. Can't go forward or back. Dropdown menu (where one enters page number) on the same row doesn't work for me either. I'll try a couple of other pages and see if those were flukes, but had it happen today on both an individual thread and on Intros page listing new posts. (Another question - is there still a way I can view list of all members if I remember someone's user name vaguely but not accurately?) Thanks! I was "TryingToGetWell" (aka TTGW) on paxilprogress. I also was one of the original members here on Surviving Antidepressants I had horrific and protracted withdrawal from paxil, but now am back to enjoying life with enthusiasm to the max, some residual physical symptoms continued but largely improve. The horror, severe derealization, anhedonia, akathisia, and so much more, are long over. My signature is a temporary scribble from year 2013. I'll rewrite it when I can.

You can find the member's list by putting even one letter in the search box at the top right of the page and selecting "Members" as the region to search in.

Dabhob33 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hello I have my detailed liquid taper sheet filled out that I’d like to share with Shep (and others here) for input. He suggested I ask here...how can I share the actual sheet? It has macros etc and have no idea how to recreate. Any help is appreciated. Dabhob33 Dabhob33 - Pristiq 25mg July 20, 2017 / 100mg November 29, 2017. Last dose 25mg December 20, 2017 - 28 yrs on antidepressants. Only other drug currently on is Lithium - 675mg. - 1st stint on benzos (100mg Librium) November 1, 2015 to January 1, 2017 (rapid taper) - 2nd stint on benzos (20mg Valium) started May 1 2017. Reinstated due to Librium rapid taper. Tapered 100mg pristiq in 4 weeks (Jan 2018). Currently tapered down to 10.5mg Valium where I began holding on February 12, 2018 due to rough patch. Using Ashton Method pill taper. Updose valium to 12mg on Feb 28, 2018 / Prozac .5mg March 3 - March 5, 2018 / March 13, 2018 - valium drop of .5 to 11.5mg Valium now 10mg as of May 23, 2018 Lithium 150mg August 8, 2017; 900mg August 23, 2017 Tested on July 13, 2018 .60 mmol/L result. Normal range is .60-1.00 mmol/L Took doxylamine sporadically (between 12mg and 25mg). Last taken on July 5, 2018. Don’t plan on continuing to take. I was given a 500mg dose of Levaquin for a UTI (ended up not having a UTI). Only one dose, but wreaked havoc on me. Is it still affecting me?

Moderator Frogie Posted May 29, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2018 I know this has nothing to do with tapering or WD. But I want to post a couple of pictures. I see other people have done it. The site says my pictures are too large. I need to know how to make the pictures smaller (pixels) on an iPad so I can post the pictures. I also have some pictures on a laptop if that is easier.

My Introduction Thread Full Drug and Withdrawal History Brief Summary Several SSRIs for 13 years starting 1997 (for mild to moderate partly situational anxiety) Xanax PRN ~ Various other drugs over the years for side effects 2 month 'taper' off Lexapro 2010 Short acute withdrawal, followed by 2 -3 months of improvement then delayed protracted withdrawal DX ADHD followed by several years of stimulants and other drugs trying to manage increasing symptoms Failed reinstatement of Lexapro and trial of Prozac (became suicidal) May 2013 Found SA, learned about withdrawal, stopped taking drugs...healing begins. Protracted withdrawal, with a very sensitized nervous system, slowly recovering as time passes Supplements which have helped: Vitamin C, Magnesium, Taurine Bad reactions: Many supplements but mostly fish oil and Vitamin D June 2016 - Started daily juicing, mostly vegetables and lots of greens. Aug 2016 - Oct 2016 Best window ever, felt almost completely recovered Oct 2016 -Symptoms returned - bad days and less bad days. April 2018 - No windows, but significant improvement, it feels like permanent full recovery is close. VIDEO: Where did the chemical imbalance theory come from?

Moderator Frogie Posted September 25, 2018 Moderator Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'm not receiving notifications when someone posts on my thread or sends me a PM. I went to my notifications and somehow it's not turned on anymore and it won't allow me to turn it on? Could someone help me if you know how? Thanks...

Moderator manymoretodays Posted September 26, 2018 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I do not think anything has changed, sitewise Frogie. I just went to my user name (top right) OR the 3 bars(top right if on my droid). Then to accounts to account settings then to notifications. There are a lot of options there. Select and click save. There may be a lag time too.....once you make selections to when they are activated.......a brief time lag. Alternately......you could sign in......check your activity........check for new PM's, etc. I hope that helps. L, p, h, and g mmt ......and an additional thought/question. Do you get a "allow notifications or not now" box that pops up when you sign in here? If so, make sure you click "allow notifications" there as well. Edited September 27, 2018 by manymoretodays Additional comment Started with psycho meds/psychiatric care circa 1988. In retrospect, and on contemplation, situational overwhelm. Rounding up to 30 years of medications(30 medication trials, poly-pharmacy maximum was 3 at one time). 5/28/2015-off Adderal salts 2.5mg. (I had been on that since hospital 10/2014) 12/2015---just holding, holding, holding, with trileptal/oxcarb at 75 mg. 1/2 tab at hs. My last psycho med ever! Tapered @ 10% every 4 weeks, sometimes 2 weeks to 2016 Dec 16, medication free!! Longer signature post here, with current supplements. Herb and alcohol free since 5/15/2016. And.....I quit smoking 11/2021. Lapsed. Redo of quit smoking 9/28/2022. Can you say Hallelujah?(took me long enough)💜 None of my posts are intended as medical advice.

Hi MMT: I don't get an Allow notifications or not now. Also, I can turn everything on except "Someone posts on my profile", "Someone replies to a status update I posted , is on my profile, or I have also replied to", and "Someone I follow posts a new status". For some reason it is not highlighted and won't let me turn it on at all. When I go into check new notifications, it used to show a number in red. Now I have nothing. Don't know what's going on, but I appreciate all your help. Hope you are well. Take care, Frogie xx PREVIOUS medications and discontinuations: Have been on medications since 1996.
