Pugknows Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi Shelby. Hugs to you. Wish you felt better. I'm also 6 months off drugs and not feeling so hot. Thought I'd be done by 3 months, but that time period came and went with no improvement. Let's hope we see some real strides in the upcoming weeks. January 2012 - Prescribed 900mg gabapentin and 30mg Norco for lower lumber spinal stenosis pain. September 2013 - Spinal fusion surgery, 6 levels. Hospital ramped up meds 1500mg gabapentin, 100mg Norco, 80mg Oxycontin, 25mg Fentanyl patch. January 2014 - Sever nausea daily and with back pain every 4 hours. 2 trips to ER. First endoscopy found ulcer. Treated with Sucralfate and PPI. Second endo in May found no ulcers. Doctors said it was the opiates causing the nausea. CT'd Oxycontin, Fentanyl patch. July 2014 - Lost 48 lbs. due to not eating because of severe nausea. GP prescribed Prozac 20mg and Ativan 2mg prn. Tried for 4 days, quit. Two week followup GP said keep taking Prozac. 4 days, quit again. Ativan taken rarely prn for anxiety and appetite. August 2014 - Went to detox. Off opiates. Still nauseous, helmet head, drugged feeling. Doctor CT'd gabapentin. Ended up in ER. Found 2 gallstones. Gabapentin reinstated at 900mg. Tried botched up and down taper to get off Gabapentin. No tapering advice from doctor. Said to just CT again. September 2014 - Coded on table during gallbladder surgery. Developed liver biloma due to CPR by doctor. Had bile bulb inserted for 2 wks to drain. October 2014 - Gallbladder removed. Still nauseous, 3am cortisol surging, drugged helmet head, vertigo, breathlessness, whooshing head, heart palps. November 8th, 2014 - CT'd gabapentin suggested by family and 4 different doctors. Was told no withdrawal is associated with gabapentin. Have been in hell ever since. No windows, just one big tsunami every day with same symptoms for 4 months. December 26, 2014 - Found SA. At least I know I'm not insane. My family thinks I'm doing this to myself. Akathesia has become unbearable. March 10, 2015 - In absolute daily hell with no relief. Currently taking magnesium 200mg before bedtime. Link to comment

btdt Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I've only been taking the supplements for two weeks Have you noticed any change at all from taking them? Effexor withdrawal can be delayed not a great term maybe but one that is functional. It can be the same with other ssri/snri drug wd too. This is what makes it so easy to blame symptoms on recurring problems like depression anxiety if you had those issues before going on the med and then it hits months after you stop the med. For years I had symptoms hit when I was stopping meds ok I expect it when I first quit but not to get much worse months later... this kept me drug for 18 years... and the kicker... I did not have any of these symptoms before I took the ssri drugs... I had pain in my leg from a car accident... that was it. It is a trickster for sure... i wonder who the first person was to figure this out... that there was withdrawal first off and then that the withdrawal was delayed... I have been reading these sites a long time and do not know who was given credit for identifying withdrawal. If anybody on this forum knows please fill me in as I am curious. At least Shelby you know now and while I know this is not the greatest outcome no wd would be... it is better than being drugged most of your life and fining out the truth when you old... if that feels like sour grapes it is because that is exactly what it is... what a brat I can be. Know tho that this is nowhere close to the timeline for protracted wd ... not in my mind anyway... i don't know what the timeline if for protracted when does one become protracted... what does the label mean? Anybody? As from my understanding most heal up in 2-3 years if you are not done or close to being done... such as functional enough most of the time to work have a life... then I think you are thought to be protracted... It is an odd thing as I don't think any science actually has taken up describing most of this if they have Alto likely has it over in journals... my memory is bad too so it could be I have forgotten. One more thing I wanted to say to you about getting your brain going... word find books... I know sounds stupid but they help me so much.. really they calm me down too... I don't know how that works but it does... maybe the axniety part of the brain can't be anxious if it is too busy finding words... and coloring... yep two kid things. Not sure what grade you taught but kids stuff being your thing I am sure you can think of other things along this vein of thought. It is not so much to challenge your brain as it is to keep it busy doing something you say it has to do... not have it being a cowboy off doing what it wants and taking you for a ride... deep relaxation too.. you can find those on utube. Ok done for now. .... wishing you peace.

Pugknows Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Shelby, I'm so sorry you feel desperate to do something. I have felt that way many times.

justwanttobefree Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 shelby I know how hard it is when you want relief so badly. Your brain is doing this because it's healing!! Going on another drug when you're already feeling so horrible will just make it worse. I know the feeling exactly, there were times where I could barely remember my own name and was convinced I was going to go catatonic. Read my thread. I'm doing way better!!! If you're having brain fog try a spicy curry, it helped me for some reason!

LoveandLight Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Sorry Shelby it's so hard. 2000 - sertraline for job anxiety low confidence (17 years old) ..which turned the next 16 years into nightmare! On/off sertraline severe withdrawals every time. 2014 - felt better as reduced dose of sertraline no more inner restlessness. Doctor rushed off again. Hit severe withdrawal. Lost the little I had in life. Couldn't get stable again on 12.5mg. Was switched to prozac. Had severe reaction to prozac..came off in November 2015 at 6mg as felt more confused and damaged on it..Even more withdrawal ..rage, depression, dyphoria, near constant suicidal ideation, self harm impulses, doom, concrete block in head, unable to do much of anything with this feeling in head..went back on 6mg of sertraline to see if would alleviate anything. It didn't..reduced from December to June 2016 came off at 2.5mg sertraline as was hospitalised for the severe rage, suicidal impulses, and put on 50mg lofepramine which in 2nd week reduced all symptoms but gave insomnia which still have..psych stopped lofepramine cold turkey..no increased withdrawal symptoms new symptoms from lofepramine except persistant insomnia which has as side effect. Taking Ativan for 8 months for the severe rage self harm impulses 1-3 times a week (mostly 2 times a week) at .5mg. Two months (I'm unsure exactly when the interdose started to happen) ago interdose withdrawal seemed to happen..2 days I think after the Ativan. Nightmare that could have been avoided!

Skylarblue75 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hi Shelby, thank you for stopping by my thread, you are blessed to have a caring and supportive spouse going through this. All I can say is benzos are evil along with a/d's. I think given the fact you have support is going to help you in your healing process. Hugs and prayers Spring of 1998 place on birth control pills for irregular bleeding, high testosterone and one ovarian cyst, stayed on until April 2004, told to take hormone holiday, conceived first son 4 months later-VERY BIG SUPRISE, was told wouldn't be able to have childern or would need reproductive doctor to help. Got pregnant again 2006 with second son easily, then was on/off birthcontrol again until October 2011, concieved 3rd son in October 2011(tried many times to get pregant again when 2nd child was close to 2yrs, hormone problems started again after 2nd child, along with thyroid enlargement. Spring of 2001 celexa 10 mgs-rx'd by pcp for complaints of chronic fatigue, irritability and weight gain, stayed on until June 2005, switched to Lexapro 20mgs for PPD, stayed on Lexapro 6-7 months, couldn't afford to see psyh dr. and Lexapro, saw PCP switched back to 20mgs celexa in 2007, remained on until November 2011, was c/t off due to 3rd pregnancy, baby had umbilical cord defect, seemed ok during pregnancy, except for crying jags here and there. Our miracle baby was born July 20th 2012, healthy except with reflux. One month later the anxiety,restlessness,horrible crying, insomnia and the deepest depression ever. That started the psyh drug nightmare-benzo's,antidepressants, sleeping pills, mood stablizers. Nothing help made me worse, doctors just kept changing the meds frequently. 4 mental health hospitalizations, rapid detox off benzos Jan 2013, horrible withdrawal and still suffering withdrawal symptoms NO ONE BELIEVES ME, I feel like ive been on one consistant drug withdrawal for the past 2 years January 2014 slow titrate up of lexapro to 20 mgs-horrible side effects!!, was just rapidly taper by current pysh off to pursade me to try an MAOI-no way!!! Was told should consider ECT Link to comment

Administrator Altostrata Posted April 17, 2015 Administrator Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thinking you're going crazy is making this more difficult for you. Please try to be calm and consider how to deal with your symptoms, one by one. For example, do you have sensitivity to light? Does looking at the computer make you feel worse? This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

Sorry you likely don't need to hear that. I did all this wd stuff while not living in my own house so I could not just do what I wanted... I did get in my car and leave a lot... I will assume your in your own house and you can do as you please since you have a garden to work in... what can you do at night outside... In my house when I had a house I use to have things I could do at night clean the pool rake... even I had a shed with lights I would do potting at night.... thinking of it now it would have been so much better to go thru wd in my own house... I try not to think of it too much as I miss it a lot Do you have any exercise equipment like a bike .. anything that is not balance related?

btdt Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 There is a time where we have to choose between dizzy and movement I know that no sense in falling down and hurting something else. The time is going to pass one way or another it can go painfully slow when things are bad we are each so different what may work for one person doesn't for the other... but some things seem to help most. When we search and find what soothes we still have to apply it sometimes finding is an issue sometimes applying is the stumbling block. If you don't know what can sooth you then seeking the self help page when you are at your best and trying some things out is a good idea. When you really need them you will be ready...

Mentor ang Posted April 19, 2015 Mentor Share Posted April 19, 2015 If ever I could do suduko I may think myself healed... I can do it but have to write down countless lists of numbers...as I can't retain them and that bugs me... so I hate it. If you can do suduko... Don't want to eat. Dont want to drink, even water. Woke up in the middle of the night forgetting who I was like I did not exist. Its still lingering... I need help. Please I'm slipping away into oblivion... can't function... going crazy! Hello and welcome. I relate to most of what you are saying, yes I have days when I dont eat, and dont drink, a good day is when I make coffee in the morning, and do the dishes. Please ask me any questions, I hope I can help. My most evil drug was effexor. I was on it 8 years. consider reinstating a very small amount of the drug, see if it helps if it gets too bad. I have tried reinstating a small amount of zoloft, recently reinstating 50mg zoloft ... it just made things worse.I only tried for 13 days. I did not sucessfully give up effexor without going on to zoloft as a bridge (didnt know that at the time), on zoloft 18 months, did a 3 month taper. I was fine, like yourself, opened a small shop, was going great, then at about 5 months CRASH. I have sort of settled down for the long haul, so my withdrawals seemed to have settled. I am now at about 9 months after going off the zoloft. I still believe some of the withdrawals are attributed to the effexor. I was on 150mg effexor for 8 years..... Effexor is affectionately known as THE DEVILS TIC TACS. I lost my husband, my home, everything, because of it..... You are so lucky, you havent been on it long, you are young, on only half the dose I was on, and I truly think give yourself a few months, and you will notice improvements.... just takes time. Chronic Fatigue, no enjoyment from doing anything, are my worst WD at present. What has gone (I hope for good), absolute guilt, sense of failure, wanting to die every day, thoughts of suicide (I never been suicidal in my life before WD). I used to force myself to do computer games, one called Mahjong Jungle Connect...(on facebook)..... . it made me feel good, as I went from being a blithering useless, to actually focussing my brain.... it helped me. I tried sudoku, but as btdt said, too hard, when I can do sudoku, I know I will be well. I havent been able to go outside the house for about 3 weeks. Today we are going out four wheel driving (so a really, really good day for me).... I think I have reached the""acceptance" stage.. take every day as it comes. 1992 Dothiepin 375mg 8 weeks, exhaustion/depression. Serotonin syndrome, oh yes! seizures . Fell pregnant, 3rd baby, Nitrous Oxide, 3 weeks mental hospital pp psychosis. zoloft tegretol. Feb 1996 ct tegretol, tapered Zoloft 8 weeks. as (unexpectedly) pregnant.
