Antidepressants Side Effects and Withdrawal (Effexor 37.5mg day 10)

[@anthonymcilwain9080]

Witnessing another person openly share their emotions and express vulnerability can be a profound catalyst for finding our own strength. I feel fortunate to have discovered your channel. My wife and I have immersed ourselves in your videos, finding a comforting sense of readiness as we anticipate facing a similar journey. Your content has become a source of courage for me, though I'll confess, I'm still grappling with fear. With the scales and capsules en route, set to arrive in a few days, we are poised to embark on the path, starting from 150mg. Thank you for being a beacon of inspiration in this uncertain journey.

This comment means a lot to me. As difficult as all of this has been for me, i truly believe I will get to the end and come out on top. 22 years is enough of these drugs. 13 years is enough suffering and drug experimenting for me. I’m ready to let it go and let my body and brain heal. I believe we all can. Thank you so much for watching my videos 🙏

I don't know how I got on to your video. I just said a big big prayer over you. I'm living with chronic Lyme disease and dealing with anxiety and depression and brainfrog and body ailments. I'm also in recovery from alcohol.then sober 13 years and going to AA 7 nights a week helps me feel like I'm a part Of life. I'm hoping for you and I'm praying for you in a big way.

I appreciate you! I’ve had chronic Lyme for a long time. It makes everything more complicated. So sorry for your struggles. Will keep you in my thoughts I appreciate you watching my videos 🙏

I just went through this. It's horrible and I empathize with you. I found that being at 37.5 was really hard. The first few days of being at zero were rough. Please know it gets better. Little by little. Within a week of being at zero all the horrific symptoms, all of them, started getting less intense. I have a few here and there but the mental clarity, natural energy, improved sleep, lack of massive panic attacks (I had disabling panic). It's gone! Only a few weeks after getting off this. I hope you find some comfort knowing that all of this you are feeling will get better and soon!!

I appreciate you leaving this comment. I’ve been on antidepressants for 22 years. It’s caused a lot of complications with my brain and body. On top of that I’ve had chronic illnesses that make it even more difficult to heal. I’m sure I’ll get there eventually. Patience is most important right now 🙏 thank you again.

This nightmare ends it does- it is getting better for me! Mindset that this will pass keeps me in windows longer. akithesia subsided now. can walk better too. Undergoing childhood trauma therapy now while tapering. 4 years of sliding off a cliff while tapering from 23 years at 225 mg. now down to last 10 mg. Feeling the normal range of emotions is great. Trust in yourself please know that a year ago i was sure that i would not survive this.

​@@FightingBack203please know that I'm now almost on the other side of this harrowing ordeal and your efforts will be rewarded! ❤ Would like to talk if you're up to it.

I am currently right in the middle of this iam down to 24 mg from 75 i feel aggressive agitated angry confused i really do feel like giving up today but i have to have faith and try keep going

[@Waves353]

Akathisia is horrific Constant fear of freakin everything and I mean everything g and everyone Resultant agoraphobia Been too long Cannot tolerate supps This has to be the most abnormal state a human can experience

[@stillnate]

Are you also experiencing cognitive decline at all? I stopped Effexor a few months ago and feel like I have dementia

[@FightingBack203]

Yes it’s all part of the withdrawal. Fish oil, magnesium, B vitamins can help, make sure vitamin D level is in high normal range!

i watched my wife go through this. watching your video literally transported me back to nearly two years ago….accept you’re really amazing at being able to communicate exactly what you’re feeling. she just, quite literally, tried to fight herself out of her own skin. thank you for sharing this and being so vulnerable. i just wanted to say that it does get better, life gets better. i’ve seen it first hand. good luck my friend 🩵
