17 weeks off acute and head pressure normal?


[Ma...]

Recommended Posts

Ok I'm over a week into the small cut I made on the Zoloft and I really don't understand where I'm at or why their has been no improvement in my main symptoms mainly with the benzo WD symptoms and I'm losing hope!

 

I just don't understand I'm 17 weeks off Xanax and still having severe acute symptoms and I thought acute would only last 2-4 months and I'm over that and I just don't understand?

 

The head pressure and numbness and physical pain is still so bad I can't hardly function at all and I've even tried to walk a few times and the pressure is still so bad I can't even hardly make to the end of the driveway!

 

I still have all the psych symptoms confusion, DP/DR, intrusive thoughts it's all still very bad but the head pressure is the absolute worst symptom I have and keeps me from being able to do the other things I need to do like exercise quitting smoking and everything else it's all just taking such a toll on my my mind and body!

 

All that I've been through since last May with these drugs has done so much damage to my mind and my body! I have grey hairs now in my beard and I've lost more hair on my head my lips are stained because the only break I get from the misery is going outside to smoke and I can't work or take care of myself or my kids and it's miserable!

 

I'm 36 years old and I feel like my life is over!

Yeah I've began to slowly reduce the dose now down to 87.5mg and on my 2nd week of that. I can't just stop taking it I've already been on it for over 3 months and I was up to 100mg for over 2 months so I don't think it would be a good idea to just quit CT and I don't think I should have ever been put on anything else but the hospital basically forced more meds on me blaming my symptoms on underlying issues and not benzo WD but of course now I know better!

 

So I feel like I'm stuck in the misery and torment with no hope!
