Corticosteroid Addiction & Withdrawal

Steroids love to close blood vessels down then they make more and open up... 

Whitening effect of closed vessels... 1-2 inches withing where the steroid are used because the blood vessels are closing down shortly after steroid use ...therapy causes the problem yet again.

 

Months to years to cure the withdrawal... 

eczema people itch never burn.....addicted people burn because of the blood vessel changes... addiction happens faster with high potency or use in genital areas

 

\long term steroid use ... attempts to taper causes flares.. cold turkey is the only way... to stop this 

 

The cure it to stop cold turkey and stay off... everyone becomes cured over time. 

 

Skin will itch and ooze in wd... stop using any steroids...inhalers or shots will also cause flares in skin and more withdrawal. 

 

moisturizers he suggests 

egyption magic and pream?

burning is dialated blood vessels... is neurological... sleeping pills neurotonin for sleep and burn... they give a lot of drugs psych drugs to treat this... :(

WARNING THIS WILL BE LONG
Had a car accident in 85
Codeine was the pain med when I was release from hosp continuous use till 89
Given PROZAC by a specialist to help with nerve pain in my leg 89-90 not sure which year
Was not told a thing about it being a psych med thought it was a pain killer no info about psych side effects I went nuts had hallucinations. As I had a head injury and was diagnosed with a concussion in 85 I was sent to a head injury clinic in 1990 five years after the accident. I don't think they knew I had been on prozac I did not think it a big deal and never did finish the bottle of pills. I had tests of course lots of them. Was put into a pain clinic and given amitriptyline which stopped the withdrawal but had many side effects. But I could sleep something I had not done in a very long time the pain lessened. My mother got cancer in 94 they switched my meds to Zoloft to help deal with this pressure as I was her main care giver she died in 96. I stopped zoloft in 96 had withdrawal was put on paxil went nutty quit it ct put on resperidol quit it ct had withdrawal was put on Effexor... 2years later celexa was added 20mg then increased to 40mg huge personality change went wild. Did too fast taper off Celexa 05 as I felt unwell for a long time prior... quit Effexor 150mg ct 07 found ****** 8 months into withdrawal learned some things was banned from there in 08 have kept learning since. there is really not enough room here to put my history but I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things especially any of the drugs mentioned above.
One thing I would like to add here is this tidbit ALL OPIATES INCREASE SEROTONIN it is not a huge jump to being in chronic pain to being put on an ssri/snri and opiates will affect your antidepressants and your thinking.

As I do not update much I will put my quit date Nov. 17 2007 I quit Effexor cold turkey.

I knew a little girl, she had terrible eczema on her legs.   She itched, and scratched, and wore thick leggings to hide her legs.  Everyone pressured the mother to treat this poor child.  She refused and simply said ...it runs in the family, it will go away when shes 10.......    IT DID, mum was right, it just went away when the girl was around ten.  So it is true, sometimes the best treatment is to do nothing at all.

thanks for the video btdt........

You are a very, very bright person btdt, thankyou!

I am an old dog, took me a long time to trust what I actually observe, and not what I am told...............

 

We all need the confidence, to trust our instincts, not trust drug dealers.

There is that Ang but there is also the drug induced fog that allows us to be talked into things that our normal functioning brains would baulk at.... once we are altered be it post drug use in wd torture of wd can cause a lot of things... especially when all the facts of wd existing being hidden... more drugs is what they tell us helps and for a time it helps kind of even if all it dose is keep us too dense to know we are dense.  Tho we make very poor choices in the drugged state it is not the torture of the wd when we know better thing  better feel better we choose better... when and if we are given a choice. 

 

Really not much of a choice no matter how you dice it.

Absolutely, the horror of withdrawals is like a new beginning, like a reawakening from a drugged, idtiotic stupor.
