Administrator Altostrata Posted December 25, 2016 Administrator Share Posted December 25, 2016 You and your husband are very welcome. Please let us know how your husband is doing as time goes on. Perhaps some day he'll be able to tell us why he was yelling. Best wishes of the holiday season to you, too. This is not medical advice.

Jncs Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Hi everyone, It’s Christmas eve again! I wanted to give an annual update (at least for the next few years) to reciprocate Altostrata, the moderators and everyone who have helped us through the very dark times. Hubby started tapering his drugs in Sep 2015. Last dosage of Olanzapine in Apr 2017, Vortioxetine in July 2017, Mirtazapine in Nov 2017. He is totally off his medication in Nov 2017. He has resumed work since Feb 2017 and has got back his life! Till now, we are still puzzled how his insomnia in 2013 could have landed him into such deep trouble. For 3 years, he was either yelling hysterically or sedated to sleep 15 hours a day. He had to close his business of 20years and we were living day by day, running around to various doctors, specialists, therapists. We even consulted the Mood Cure clinic and contemplated making a trip to the US (from Asia) for help! Finally, it was this forum, which saved our lives. Thank you very much Altostrata for your unrelentless effort and time in running this forum. We owe it to you. (BTW, do you still accept donations to run this site?) A big Thank you to the moderators for volunteering your precious time too. Best Wishes and Happy Holidays to all!! Huggggsss!!! Nov 2013 - Insomnia. xanax, slept well 5 days. Insomnia returned.

Jncs Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hi Alto & all, Just an update : Hubby is up and running since Feb 2017. When we came to this forum in 2014, he was a complete wreckage. We took a very slow approach, especially the first 12 months in tapering off his drugs. Taking Alto’s advice, we changed to a younger doctor who is willing to listen, and we stopped complaining or asking to change for “better” drugs. This doc was willing to work along with us at a slower pace, even though he didnt think it was necessary and wanted to accelerate the tapering of drugs. Finally in Nov 2017, hubby is drug free! Once again, I just want to express our gratitude to you and your team of volunteers for your time and dedication. You’ve saved our lives! Thank you very much! Wishing you a Blessed Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Hugs from Jncs SE Asia Nov 2013 - Insomnia. xanax, slept well 5 days. Insomnia returned. Lexapro, benzos (xanax or lexotan). Agitation starts.
