All my symptoms getting WORSE still. Is any of this permanent?

Hey y'all.

 

I'm NOT a benzo user and the only psych drug I have withdrawn from is Prozac (you can check my sig).

 

I am a little over 6 months out from a CT of Prozac.

 

My symptoms right now are VERY bad and no windows whatsoever. Some of these symptoms I can't even label. But I'll try my best to list them.

 

Physical symptoms:

- 24/7 eye floaters

- 24/7 tinnitus

- can't yawn nor do I get tiredness behind eyes; have to force myself to sleep

- palms of hands and feet seem to turn red randomly

- brain squeezes

- brain burning

- palm sweating

- feet and hands become 'electrified' and are VERY sensitive to touch

- VERY bad teeth pain (center of teeth hurt so bad)

- buzzing ALL over body 24/7

- inner tremors

- stomach butterflies

- electrical sensations running through entire body that isn't exactly painful but VERY uncomfortable (and NO they aren't shocks...they feel more like the nerves are just WAY over stimulated and too awake)

- hot/cold temperature changes from head to toe

- heat waves around head and shoulders

- pins and needles all over body, even in the back of my throat

- tongue and mouth burning

- eye dryness

- some itchiness

- CRAZY adrenalin rushes

- chest tightness

- shortness of breath sometimes

- no more hunger cues; really lacking in appetite

- diarrhea

- neuropathy

- CRAZY broken sleep

- palms of hand burn

- brain and muscles pulsate

- Now this one is hard to explain - it's like there is a burning and intense chemical coursing throughout my entire body like it is pulling me down in every direction and pushing against every inch of my insides. I dunno what the hell it is but it feels so horrifying and it gives me anxiety not knowing what it is

 

Mental symptoms:

- songs looping in my head still 24/7

- severe depression and anxiety

- suicidal ideations

- intrusive thoughts

- hypnagogic hallucinations upon dozing off in the day time

 

 

Does anyone have most if not all of these? Does anyone have all of these symptoms? I am a SEVERE case of CT withdrawal from only one psych drug ever taken in my life and I only took it for about a year.

 

Every day I feel more suicidal and dunno how much longer I can keep going on. None of these symptoms have eased, disappeared, or got better. They are all still at a 10/10 intensity. How does one even get this many symptoms and survive without any windows?  :'(

I'm not familiar with Prozac although I've withdrawn from low doses of Effexor before.  It took me 3 months to taper off of the lowest dose.  Have you tried survivingantidepressants.org ??  I have heard they have good moderators with a lot of experience.  Be well, I'm sending hugs and good energy to you!
