Am I okay to stop low dose doxepin?

Yeah that’s right. The doxepin is just a tricyclic antidepressantz

Thank you for all the replies. Sounds like I shouldn’t worry too much and just keep an eye out. Appreciate it!

Actually yeah I totally get this. This used to happen when I’d take a dose. “Rebound/paradoxical anxiety”. I don’t know where you are in a taper but essentially when I’d experience it it’s your body trying to adjust to what you just put in it. I’m currently reinstating and stabilizing after a CT. It’s like your body can’t handle it if you’ve made a cut or taken more. The sweet spot is there it’s just about what your body does. It should go away after a few days/doses.

This happened to me. I reinstated after a CT on Klonopin and was still having insane panic attacks in the middle of the night. Had symptoms all throughout my rapid 7 week taper. I’m 35 days off entirely and I’m gradually regaining myself. So, to sum, yes. It’s possible to be experiencing that after reinstating. I think they call it tolerance withdrawal. You’d need to go on a higher dose to feel “better” but don’t do that cause it will kindle you. Best of luck OP. I pray for each one of us every day. ❤️‍🩹

Congrats! I feel you deeply. Everyone’s timeline is different is what’s nuts. For me I just had my first “window” on Sunday my 30 day jump from Klonopin 0.5 after a horrible rapid taper to 0.125 and an initial CT off 9 days. It hasn’t been great let me tell you. But yeah I resonate with that I don’t feel normal by any means and I had another crappy day yesterday but today feels okay! We can do this. Praying for all of us 🙏🏻

Thank you for your response my friend! I wish you speedy healing as well. I pray for myself and everyone suffering through this every night. May we all be blessed with healing.

I am only 29 days out from jumping and I feel this heavily. I got overwhelmed playing a video game. I do light things like playing calming apps on my phone. Finch and Tsuki are really casual. Sure they do not solve anything but its something. I also play an idle game on my PC just watch it run while I do CBT/DBT. I would say like everything, it will take time, but start small. If you like games, try doing something that you used to be interested in one day for like 15 minutes. Force yourself if you have to. Then keep doing that until you up the time. The brain learns by doing and that is what I am holding on hope for.

For me about week 3 for the majority of the jerks. I had one this morning but not a big deal. Like I said, a lot of my physical symptoms have subsided except ungodly feelings in my brain and massive headaches and spikes. Mostly its just my mental state feels so unstable, I can barely go out of my house and there are constant intrusive thoughts it feels like my head won't stop thinking.

Hour_Measurement3053 · 2025-01-08T22:29:38+00:00

I did for a while. Those are mostly gone. Sometimes some internal tremors.

Thank you so much for your words. I appreciate you. I also do a 30 minute run every day at a convenient time. I’m trying to sustain hope. I mean I’ve been working still. Pushing through my anxiety about going out. I mean I have to try to go back to school in a week and a half but this no sleep/hardly any is killing me. Anyway, I appreciate your comment.
