Burning throughout body including brain

[[ne...]]

Hi!  I am now 7 weeks off all psych meds and am still having chronic insomnia, burning, tingling, numbness, vibrations throughout body and head, heart palpitations, adrenaline surges, myoclonic jerks, blurry vision, hearing difficulties, dp/dr, feel like I am losing my mind etc.

 

The burning and chronic insomnia r so intense most of the time.  For the past couple of days I have had a window where the symptoms were less intense and I was able 2 get some sleep.  However, it appears that after a couple of days all the symptoms come back with a vengeance making it almost totally impossible 2 do much of anything and making me believe this will never get any better. 

 

Over the past 3 years I have done a slow taper off Gabapentin, Zoplicone, Seroquel and Remeron in that order.  Ever since being off Remeron (the last one 4 3 weeks), I have felt my symptoms have gotten steadily worse.  Is this normal and does anyone else have all these horrendous symptoms at this point in their w/d. 

 

I am really struggling and want 2 get better.  However, at 63 years of age, I don't know how much more of this my body and mind can tolerate without going totally insane or dropping dead at any moment. 

 

I am currently working with an excellent herbalist who is caring, supportive, understanding and very knowledgeable about these drugs and what they can do to us.  Unfortunately, he has been away 4 the months of July and August and won't b back 4 another couple of weeks.  I have been taking the herbs faithfully but they don't seem 2 b doing much 2 help with what I am going through.  I have also been using some medical marijuana sparingly but nothing seems 2 help with these horrendous w/d symptoms. 

 

Please, I am really desperate to hear that others have gone through similar if not the same symptoms and have recovered from this.  I am feeling totally alone and terrified.

So sorry to see you suffering with burning pain. You are very early in this game and with time it will get better.mtry to relax and take a bath just try to survive every day. It will get better very slowly.

Sorry I can't give you to much support I'm 15 months out and still have the burning head scalp but some days is less intense.

I hope for you will not take this long time to get better.

Keep fighting for your life

Hugs

You will heal.

 

I had this and it is almost all gone.

 

 

I found baths and "hydrotherapy" really helps. That is, taking a hot shower, then turning the water cold, and vice versa. or doing this a bath, with epson salt. Once I realized this I couldn't believe the impact it made.

 

Now I also visit a sauna. After the sauna I get into a cold shower, right on my skull... I have migraines that have dissapeared instantly doing this.

 

 

Please consider trying this!

Hi!  I have tried the Epsom salt baths and due 2 the fact I have Lyme Disease, Bartonella and Babesia it tends 2 make me much worse and I have really bad herxheimer reactions (die-of) of the Lyme Disease and co's. It appears that at the present time no matter what I do or eat everything makes me feel worse.  I am terrified 2 even eat anything anymore.  I have lost all interest in life as I feel there is no hope 4 me and that I might have permanently damaged my brain with these horrendous poisons.  I have been going through this 4 so long and my body and mind r totally exhausted from trying 2 figure things out. 

 

I am fighting so hard 2 recover, yet I just seem 2 get worse.  I am all alone here and just don't know where 2 go from here.  Please help.
