If you take a benzo during withdrawal it will make withdrawal worst you'll get benzo interdose withdrawal within the antidepressant withdrawal. If you're getting akathisia while tapering you're probably tapering down too fast

I got akathisia when I started Effexor. Even when I was doing a bit better I had it. It’s only been worse since I started tapering. And I hear you about the benzo interdose withdrawal. In 2019 I was suffering so much with Lyme disease and lexapro ruined my microbiome and gave me psychosis and severely high blood pressure. The doctor I was seeing at the time put me on 3-4mg of Ativan a day. And it didn’t even do anything but got me dependent on it. I switched to Xanax which was always better in the past and I was able to get off completely in 2022. Since my recent issues I’ve had to take very small doses of Xanax. I hate taking it but it’s the only thing that keeps me from intense amounts of suffering at certain times.

And I’m tapering extremely slowly. 5% decrease a month. A lot of my issues are related to microbiome and antibiotic treatment I did in 2019 for Lyme. Gave me a severe herx reaction and completely destroyed my gut and my brain.

@@FightingBack203 i feel you i cold turkeyed 20mg of lexapro i also lost my mind during the "withdrawal" reinstating lexapro 3 different times and taking klonopin ativan trazadone gabapentin to deal with the symptoms only made it worst and got akathisia that lasted about a year or so. I dont even think its really withdrawal i think its just the psych drug messes up your nervous system i could be wrong but it sure felt like brain damage when you cant think or remember anything and you're shaking and pacing 15 hours a day and not sleeping more than an hour a night. 3 years later here I am i have healed a lot because I kept asking God for help. Its hard though because when you are in "withdrawal" it literally feels like you're in hell. I literally felt like it was Hell and the devil was tryin to delete me. So dont fall for those lies go really carefully and slowly and i wouldn't recommend taking other pills because that just adds more chemicals to the soup.

@@FightingBack203 yea with this stuff you really have to be careful with what you put into your body. The nervous system becomes hypersensitive and drugs like antibiotics or corticosteroids even alcohol can really mess up the healing process. You gotta be careful going to doctors because most dont understand will misdiagnose and give you something that will make you even worst. Somethings that helped me were Accupuncture Extended water fasts Ketogenic diets like carnivore Cutting out all processed foods and sugar Daily prayer and just thanking the creator in advance for healing me Im naturally pretty stubborn so I thought I could use supplements and try more pills and whatever to get back to normal faster but they just made it worst. I think being patient is really hard when you just watch year after year go by and you just melt into the background its really frustrating. My hair turned white from stress in a months time from all the stress.
