[[Ja...]]

In a few days i will pass my 21 month mark. I am still dealing with alot of different side effects. I see alot of people turn a corner at 21 months off. i really hope that i am one of those people. i am still very food sensative. My skin is still very sensative, burning skin, ears still ring, i have moments of DR if i end up eating the wrong thing, still have some confusion on and off, still have a hard time retaining information,and Still have pretty heavy anxiety most of the time, I am excercising now(finally) and that seams to help alot. takes my mind off of my side effects for a period of time. Wanted to hear how everyone else is doing around this time? take care  -Jacob

Well Jacob I am sorry your still suffering this nightmare, buddy I am way behind you approching 17 months off, of CT and I still have WD sxs not as severe as it was before, but a little better as time goes by, I am still very food sensetive just like you, I think the anxiety and all the weird sxs comes mainly from your stomach, even my my early days of this mess, I would even touch my stomach and I can feel it in my head, we will get there, and we always turn corners as time pass

I am 19 months off and my worst symptom is sensitive, burning skin - also feeling very hot when my skin symptoms get bad.  Over the past few months I think things have gotten somewhat better.  I had many, many symptoms at the beginning, most of which have gone or are in the background.  I'm sorry to read that your skin is still sensitive, Jacob.  I know from my own experience.  I have gotten over most of my food sensitivities, but sometimes I find that eating makes my symptoms worse - other times it doesn't.  Very frustrating.

Ya food still is a challenge for me, my sxs can worsen when I eat certain foods, it's like my body have a certain reaction to it, i hope by the coming month I will tolerate much variaty of food

Parethesia: do you still have anxiety and dr too or they are gone, for me they still come ago, but comes more than they go at this stage

we will get through this TIME

Tommy1234 - The only time I really was bothered with anxiety was when I tapered off gabapentin which I took for nerve pain for a few months.  It didn't work.  I was also very anxious when having a lot of tests to see why I was feeling so hot.  Otherwise anxiety has not been a problem.  I have never had DR.  My symptoms have mainly been physical - increasing vertigo (that's why I was put on benzos to begin with - for 17 years), tinnitus, sensitivity to light and sound, rashes, sore teeth, electric feelings, GI spasms, and on and on.  The prickly burning skin and excessive heat are all that's left, and they are very slowly getting better.  I take passionflower when my skin is bad and that helps a lot.
