Guess youre right that we will never be the same but I was hoping that maybe my flu periods was something good as well. Apologies ,me saying we wont be the same again comes across harsh,we definitely can live a normal life but on very different terms . I noticed last week after doing some physical work ,(knocked out a wall and window and put in a big door)(I regret it deeply). My biceps felt great but my nervous system was screaming at me ,its weird .theres so much that goes on ,we cant know everything. Once withdrawal hits we need to respect it ,I sadly haven't and suffered for it deeply. Even a week or two after flu we need to be careful. Alcohol free since February 2015 1MG diazepam 4.5MG PROZAC.

Administrator Altostrata Posted March 26, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 26, 2019 Not every ailment is related to withdrawal syndrome. Viruses attack everybody. If you keep getting colds or flu, you are either being exposed frequently to viruses, such as around children, or your immune system is run down for other reasons, such as not eating enough fresh fruits and vegetables. We don't have a cure for the common cold or influenza here. Strongly recommend everyone get their flu vaccine shot. If you don't like this idea, deal with the flu -- don't argue about vaccines here. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

frasier23 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 OK my theory is/was this. Earlier I wasnt in shape to handle viruses. No I am and I get them frequently. Earlier even this function was surpressed. My immune system is not optimal right now so it will be interesting to see the coming 12 months if it changes. 2015june psyc ward due to psychosis 10 days 10mg zyprexa. stopped cold turkey. side effects were blinking eyes, eyes shut down by themself when going to sleep, restless,hunger. I had natural sleep (6hrs) before zyprexa. Slept exact 8hours with zyprexa. 2015july one month after cold turkey(had own sleep during this time exact 8hours every night, felt like zyprexa sleep even though i didnt take it) I lost my sleep over a night and it never came back. 0hours for 7-10days before I had to reinstate zyprexa on 5mg first 2days 10mg 1week 5mg 1week and then stopped CT. maybe also had 7.5 and 2.5 some days dont remember. 2015sept/october 3weeks Nitrazepam 1w Theralen build of sleep 2016may psyc ward psychoziz. Trilafon injection Immovan 3weekz 2016june 1week theralen had some extra sleep but realised its just pushing problem forward i guess 2019 Ive now been medicine free for almost 2.5 years (I think last Trilafon injection was 2016 October) and still not fully recovered. I believe my overdose on Zyprexa (20mg + injection) did most damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estman Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 How long does the flu last and when have you seen improvement? It's day 9 for me today and I continue to have a heavy sense of powerlessness-weakness and imbalance It gives me constant fear.
