Faithbarelysurviving: Too damaged?

[btdt]

I am not sure if that is too much or not maybe 10% which would be 2mg. 

 

One thing I have learned about the hosp some of them at least now have a drug interaction program... that is one thing we don't have access to... which I would like to get a look at.  Too bad we don't know a doctor with access who could sneak in and check.  

 

I am sure Alto will be by to give her opinion on this please wait for her. 

[Faithbarelysurviving]

Alto will hopefully chime in, but a quick look at the drug interactions looks like the Buspar is increasing the blood levels and/or action of several drugs, so when you reduce Buspar, it is like shaving a little off most everything. So that makes it very hard, and very helpful, if you can just hold steady and pull it off. Hopefully Alto can confirm or correct that theory.

So Buspar

THank you

[Faithbarelysurviving]

Bydt

I take buspar 10mg+5mg+1/2 of 5mg

So it would be another 1/4 of mg down. It is very very hard for me to calculate anything, or to explain anything, my brain is not functioning ...maybe dementia or retardedness already

[Faithbarelysurviving]

Just so you know everybody , you might be part of me being alive, although i am not realizing much that i am saying or to whom. My stupidity and sins + psychiatry= crazy and disabled This is the final product

Still wait and see what Alto says ... and I am not sure there is not a word confusion here as both drugs are close in spelling... you may want to check Me's response for clarity... 

 

Your not the first one to show up on a board like this completely broken... I was broken too... and there are many many others that is the nature of these sites... don't feel bad about it many of us have been there too.  

I caution you to wait for Alto there is a reason I pass all tapering and drug questions off to her ... she knows and has the brain for it not all of us have that. 

I wish you peace

 

I am not sure on any taper stuff as I have never had a successful taper but I know how to hold on like nobodies business how to fight back... how to endure... what you do.. this I know.

However I can't help but learn some things after so many years and I think doing a = taper so each dose is the same is part of this... I see your thinking of cutting an already cut dose rather then = our the doses... you may have a good reason for doing this one is bed time maybe and it helps you sleep... still 

WAIT FOR ALTO  

yes i am a broken record 

peace

[Altostrata]

I am decreasing the buspirone by 1/4th of 5 mg

 

Faith, we discussed cutting that 5mg tablet into 8 pieces and reducing by 1/8 of a tablet.

 

This means cut the tablet into quarters and then cut each quarter in half. The best way to cut a quarter of a tablet in half is to cut it from the side rather than from the top. Like a wedge of layer cake -- cut between the layers.

 

Take the larger piece and put the smaller piece into a bottle to use later.

 

Can you do this?

[Faithbarelysurviving]

Altostrata, the Buspirone pill is of 10 mg. So i take 1 whole pill at 5pm.

I also take buspirone in the morning. Since January i think, i do not remember anything at all, I divided the 10 mg pill in the morning into 8 just like you were saying ( cut it in half which means 2x5mg; i took one half ( meaning 5mg) and cut it in 4 pieces. I took out one piece and stayed like that for maybe a mth or more, i don t know how long, then I took out another piece and waited again but I don't onow for how long.....and then I took out the 3rd piece and waited for maybe more than a mth, again I don t know ....and the withdrawals got me more and more impaired. I wrote that on June 7th I went back a piece so I currently take 10mg at 5 pm + 5mg (half of the 10 mg pill) and a half (2 pieces) in the morning. I hope it makes sense now....i have hige difficulty with my thinking, almost can t think at all, so it is easy to confuse you. Let me know if you understood please.

And now I was wondering if I should go back and cut again that one piece....from the morning dose still.

[Altostrata]

Welcome. Faith.

 

I put the antidepressants in bold:

 

bupropion 150 mg in the morning,

clonazepam 1 mg three times per day,

baclofen 10 mg 3 times per day,

buspar 10mg at dinner, 6.2mg in the morning,

Escitalopram 15 mg morning

Tegretol twice a day x 100mg

Trazadone 50 mg

Propranolol 20 mg twice a day

 

....

 

If you don't want to reduce the Buspar, how about reducing the bupropion?

 

You'd do it the same way: Cut the tablet into quarters. Cut one quarter into eighths. Take the larger eighth and put the smaller one in a container.

[Faithbarelysurviving]

How I take my pills:

 

Morning 9pm:

 

Bupropion (Wellbutrin) -150 mg

Escitalopram - 15 mg

Baclofen - 10mg

Propranolol - 20 mg

Clonazepam -1mg

Carbamazepine - 100mg (1/2 of 200mg tablet)

Gabapentin - 200mg

Buspirone (Buspar) - 7.5mg

 

1pm:

Clonazepam-1mg

Baclofen-10mg

 

5pm:

Propranolol: 20 mg

Baclofen: 10mg

Buspirone: 10 mg

 

9pm:

Clonazepam: 1mg

Carbamazepine: 100mg (1/2 of 200mg)

Tegretol: 50mg

Gabapentin: 100 mg

[Altostrata]

Good to know.

 

If you don't want to reduce the Buspar, how about reducing the bupropion?

[Faithbarelysurviving]

The bupropion pill is round and hard to cut. I can cut it in 4 and maybe each quarter in half ( from the side like you said but it would not be even). Also is XL extended release, is that ok to be cut?

[Faithbarelysurviving]

So you think I should try reducing the bupropion? Which one do you think has the worst interactions or side effects

[Altostrata]

All of the drugs are bad, they are interacting with each other. In combination, they all have bad side effects. You are taking so many drugs, it's impossible to tell which is causing what symptoms. It's impossible to tell what will happen if you reduce any one of them.

 

But these drugs are endangering your health and you need to minimize them. You can taper them yourself or go to the hospital and hope for the best.

 

Read this post and PRINT IT OUT:

 

 

....You will see that 5 of these interactions are major, and the rest of them are also serious!

 

Here is what drugs.com said:

 

Interactions between your selected drugs

trazodone ↔ escitalopram

Applies to: trazodone, escitalopram

Using escitalopram together with traZODone can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome, which may include symptoms such as confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, blurred vision, muscle spasm or stiffness, tremor, incoordination, stomach cramp, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Severe cases may result in coma and even death. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms during treatment. In addition, combining these medications can increase the risk of an irregular heart rhythm that may be serious and potentially life-threatening, although it is a relatively rare side effect. You may be more susceptible if you have a heart condition called congenital long QT syndrome, other cardiac diseases, conduction abnormalities, or electrolyte disturbances (for example, magnesium or potassium loss due to severe or prolonged diarrhea or vomiting). Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. Your doctor may already be aware of the risks, but has determined that this is the best course of treatment for you and has taken appropriate precautions and is monitoring you closely for any potential complications. You should seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, or heart palpitations during treatment with these medications, whether together or alone. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

I will try reducing the bupropion tomorrow...

[Altostrata]

Reducing Wellbutrin XL is more complicated. Let's put that aside until you can understand the instructions.

 

How about reducing the carbamazepine? You are already cutting up that tablet. I would reduce the morning dose by 1/8 of a tablet.

 

Since you are taking half a tablet in the morning, you would cut the tablet into quarters, then cut one quarter into eighths. Take one quarter and the larger eighth and put the smaller eighth in a container. Rather than 100mg, you would be taking 75mg in the morning.

[Meimeiquest]

Having spent a good bit of time with all forms of bupropion, I learned that the XL version is the only one that can't be broken up. Not only because it would release everything all at once, but it is almost impossible to cut up, even with rather extreme tools.

[Faithbarelysurviving]

My dr doesn t want me in the hospital anymore, last time he was saying i am facking it, that there is no scientific explination for my symptoms, that I have conversion disorder and borderline pers disorder and what not, that this is not from medications or withdrawals, everyttime I see him , he says that I have problems speaking beacause of anxiety?????? he refuses to hear about my neck rigidity or anything else z . He is a psychoanalist also and says that I do not want to talk about what is bothering me that is why I will not get better . And that i don t want to get out of the bed , that i do not take responsability as a mother or a wife, he sees how disabled I sm... He threaned me that he will put me in a resthome if i do not start talking.....about my kids and my husband and my relashionship to them....I can t even walk or talk or stand.... When i left the hosp he offered me another Antipsychotic Saphirs, which after a couple of days i stopped it. So in the hospital they ll drug me more or Ct my meds and if i don y improve....they can take my kids and pit me in a resthome.....

[Altostrata]

Faith, will you reduce the carbamazepine tomorrow morning? We've been discussing this since May 14 and so far you haven't reduced anything.

[Faithbarelysurviving]

I pissed them off really bad , the drs that I had and other drs., because when I was better I told them straight to their faces what their poisons are doing to people and me....I asked one of them , my previous one, if he would give this **** to his children, he had two, I have two...the word spread around as there is one hospital and ten fifteen psychiatrists....they were making fun of me that i was bringing "new knowledge" such as dr Aston manual and other things...I was better with my mind and did tons of research.....now all is gone, ....when I got CT off Clonazepam in the hospital, I was crzzy, suicidal couldn t breathe leaning on the walls and lost totally lost, floaters,, sick like hell....they wanted to send me home , i said i was suicidal, they said it was not their problem, if i want to kill myself it is my responsability..... I was in horriffic withdrawal yelling like crazy,, my mind shot racing..... They do not care.....

Last time i was in hosp again almost CT from valium, i told them i was suicidal and i could hurt somebody....my dr. said k do not want to leave the hospital, run away from redponsabilities, and if I wanted to hurt somebody they would take my kids..... Then I lied........... And i was looking after things from the cleaning lady to ingest and kill myself , i couldn t take the torture........there is no winning with these bastsrds..... And my dr put me on so many meds because he Screwed me up Big Time withe the Valium withdrawal that sent me to the ER, and It Eas mu Fault , I was faking it!!!!!! I was Dissociating whenever I wanted to!!!!!! I wad a rare person he said .....3% of people could do that and i was and still am one of them!!! Because I want to be dependent on my husband without taking tesponsability for anything. Bastard!!!!

So going back to the hospital for what........unless I loose it soo bad which i did...and my husband has to take me there ....... God help me, i am just trying to stay alive.... Why I don t know ..........

[Altostrata]

Let me know when you need information about tapering. 'Bye for now.

[Faithbarelysurviving]

That Carbamazepine was given for trigeminal neuralgia triggered diring valium withdrawal by my smart dr.

I take buspar 10mg+5mg+1/2 of 5mg
So it would be another 1/4 of mg down. It is very very hard for me to calculate anything, or to explain anything, my brain is not functioning ...maybe dementia or retardedness already 

 

I think there is a mix up in the between buspar and bupropion

 

Alto she was going to make this cut tomorrow I asked her to wait to talk to you.  Should she cut the morning dose too now or continue cutting the later dose?  Is this too big a drop?  To get this to 10% Faith IF your cutting the morning dose too now.. it would be quarter the

 

10 mg pills 

=2 pieces of 5mg

cut one of those pieces in half 

=2.5 mg is the amount of drug in each quarter of a pill

 

Alto suggested you cut it side ways to get half a quarter this is the rate of taper this site have found to be most useful. 

 

I think this is the recommendation.  

I know the sight of the interactions set you off and over whelmed your senses... it is understandable I have been known to lose my patients in the early days too it is hard to keep it together I know...there will be plenty of time for that later if your calm now lets continue

if your not calmer yet see the self care pages you may find some ideas there... relaxation videos ect. 

 

 it is time to attend to this... the next move to make. 

peace

[Faithbarelysurviving]

 

Thank you Meime and Altostrata

[Faithbarelysurviving]

And bdtd

[Faithbarelysurviving]

It is going to get uglier than it is now........

[Faithbarelysurviving]

Thank you B. God i am exhausted, so much head pain and neck....neck twiches and hurts, i hope my aggressiveness won t get worse....

Earlier i had some moments of a window, gone gone

I hope i won t start to be more delirious or paranoid ...

Thank you Bdtd you re kind and i am so mean

[btdt]

Don't look for trouble it may actually get better the reason for small drops is so that it dose now get uglier... good thinking eh.  Wish I had known before I quit small drops allow the body to adjust to change without very slowly which is the way the body likes to do things inch by inch not yard by yard... 

keep the body happy and this could go very well but it will take a long time due to the number of drugs 

 

Nobody here has any promises to give and nobody hear got any when they came cause we don't lie... 

 

we play it by ear and see how it goes and base everything on what we have seen in the past and what has worked there is always a risk as every human being is different but the risk is toned down due to low cuts ... with waiting between drops...

waiting to see and time of adjustment based on how this time goes suggestions will be made as to the next step... 

 

that is how it goes here

peace

[btdt]

Your welcome 

 

The next idea I have is while your waiting if you want to learn ways to deal with other issues look them up... like neck pain...or anxiety... self care is a good place to start... whatever soothes you and if you don't have things now .. you can find suggestions there some you may not have tried yet. 

If your tired rest tomorrow is another day

peace

Don't worry I have been wd mean too.. you may want to read neuro emotions...    they suck but I have been a victim of them too against my very best intentions and hard work... it does get better...still people will take offence it is to be expected.. and you will feel like crap some times but you do already up is what we are shooting for. It will take time drugs work fast the body works slow.

Welcome faith, I'm sorry you are suffering such heavy symptoms. Please let us know what drugs you were/are on and for how long.

Hold on, brain is very flexible and so many fast changes in your symptoms is a sign it is fighting to recover itself.

 

God bless Luca

Your welcome 

 

The next idea I have is while your waiting if you want to learn ways to deal with other issues look them up... like neck pain...or anxiety... self care is a good place to start... whatever soothes you and if you don't have things now .. you can find suggestions there some you may not have tried yet. 

If your tired rest tomorrow is another day

peace

Neck twiches....my head goes from one side to another...Yep akathisia, head pulled back ....hard to breathe...the cut is taking effect God, my mindis like stuck, then switches to something else my head pressed like in between elevator doors, can t coordinate the body

Having spent a good bit of time with all forms of bupropion, I learned that the XL version is the only one that can't be broken up. Not only because it would release everything all at once, but it is almost impossible to cut up, even with rather extreme tools.

Faith, honestly I think you will first start to be able to coordinate your movements and keep your head up if the half of your medicaments would be away. Then maybe after 5-6 months. It takes a lot of time, but it is worth it.
