Getting off medication


for 21 år siden 0 1 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Well, until this Friday I thought I just about to become a superwoman - having my Gilex (doxephin) through into the garbage. But now, darkness arrived once again. Perhaps its the war in my country; the bus I used to take every day to the University for many years just exploded. Went up in the air. But what's new? So I take Assival but I'm afraid to get addicted. I do not want to be fat again, neither do I desire to be "normally calm" because of the Gilex. I just want to be feel good. How can I become a mother one days with those shivering and crying and the drugs... How can I not live in a constant fear that it is out there, waiting for me or for something to happen - just to attack again. The fear makes me cry; the cry makes me loose control and search for what ever medications are left in the house. Cannot get an appointment to CBT. Too many people on the waiting list. No wonder. I went to the a certain Mall today: It was exploded at least 5 times. Tried to buy something nice; to deal with it. But I crashed when I arrived home. I have no point of cancellation, no sense of how I can change the drugs for something else. What's more, I am, like others feel the most helpless frightened person on earth. Non of my professional achievement can hold in such moments, nor the love of my husband. Only deep and a sense of lamenting on who I am, and what has become of me during the last five years.

Hi Lesa, How did you change the way you sit? Did you slouch and now you don't anymore? Please let me know, I'm sure I've got excess air, too. I've got a funny stomach and get bloated quite a bit. Thanks, Marianne

Hi ! I just started taking Paxil last week and I really don't feel too good this week. My head is spinning and I feel sick to my stomach every morning. I tried Remeron a few weeks back and that was even worst for me. I'am getting a little discouraged with all this. I was also told that getting off Paxil is very,very hard ! Is anybody out there taking Paxil and what's it like for you ? :quest:

Michele, thanks for the response. That's where I'm at now. I did talk to my doctor and said I wanted to get off this. I'm half way there and can't make myself go the rest of the way. She told me to take Xanax as needed but here is my dilemma. I have to go to work every day and since I cut the dosage in half I've been having anxiety like I haven't had in years. I'm avoiding things again etc. I am so afraid of what will happen in the time frame that it will take to get off Nardil entirely to get on Zoloft as my doctor would like me to do, that I can't make myself take the next step. I'm afraid of not being able to go to work and I have to....I have no choice. So I really don't know what to do at this point.

Hi, Nardil is one of the older medications with a lot of restrictions. Since you have been on it awhile, it will take some adjustment to come off of it. Do yu have a good doctor? There are other medications that can ease your discomfort. Please do not give up and work closely with your doctor. Have you told your doctor of your discomfort? Please do so as perhaps he/she can recommend something to ease the transistion. I have been there and the change may be worth it. The newer medications are easier to take. Michele

The free Panic Diary (see link at the left) would be very useful to you and anyone who is undergoing medication change, as it lets you record your medication and dosage too for each day, as well as your anxiety levels and panic attacks. Please don't hesitate to use it

Hi Diane. This is my first entry. After reading your comments I felt like you were reading my mind. I, too, have struggled to get off my meds. Mine are PaxilCR and Xanax. I am also in therapy. Weeks will go by without an anxiety/panic episode and I feel on top of the world. But all it takes is one attack and u know u still have work to do. I had a big attack yesterday at work. It was cold and raining. I was axnious all day and knew I would have problems getting to my car. When I feel an attack coming on I have to take baby steps, literally. Usually stop and go. Usually that works. Not this day. As soon as I left the building and felt the cold and raindrops, my body just froze like a piece of wood. I fell into the shrubs and had to have the security folks help me. (I work in a huge Gov facility). I told them it was no big deal and what I needed to do to feel better. I have been attempting to taper off my meds for the past three months with no success. It is hard to do. As soon as I feel anxious it is all I can think about and I go back to my regular dosage. Yes, sometime I beat myself up;calling myself a corward. But most days I am very positive and realize that just like "normal" folks we will have good and bad days. I think that attitude, more than the drugs, has helped me the most. As for the side affects u seem to have that in check. I'm sure that most people in our situations have had many side affects. I have and none none of them are pleasant. You hang in there and think good thoughts.

HI.....I'm new here as of today. I've been reading some of the postings and hope someone has some helpful ideas for me. I have been taking Nardil for quite a few years and functioning fairly well, if not 100%. I have never been comfortable with all the dietary and other medicine restrictions that go along with this medication. My son got married the end of Sept. and I decided that I needed to get off this medication and on something else, or better yet, not need any medication. Early this summer I told my regular M.D. that I didn't like this medication and she agreed. She wanted me to go off of it slowly and gave me instructions. I was taking 2 tablets a day and got down to one. It was fine for a week or so, then I started having anxiety like I haven't had in years. It's really frightened me. I feel that I'm stuck in limbo. I refuse to go backward and conitnue with the 2 tablets of Nardil, but I can't make myself go forward either. I'm single and have to keep working. I feel like I've gone backwards a hundred miles. My thought processes are all wrong.......constantly thinking about how I feel etc. I'm trying self-talk, but as other people have mentioned, it's very difficult when you start to panic. When I'm not feeling the anxiety it makes perfect sense, but when I am feeling the beginning of anxiety, all the what-if's seem to be stronger than anything else. Any ideas for being able to go the rest of the way to get off this medication? Thanks....... Diane
