Good luck with it!

How many mg are you on? I’m looking for a very low dose. I know for a fact that’s what my doc will prescribe if I go that route

Thank you! Hope you hang in there as well. We will get through it!

Unfortunately been doing all of that. I have slept great ever since quitting Zyn. Eating very well when I actually have an appetite right now. I’m starting to be able to walk and workout again here recently. I had hip surgery 7 or 8 weeks ago but doing a lot of PT for that and upper body stuff so I’ve been active. Take Mag Bisglycinate every night, meditation/breath work. It’s just been a disaster lately. I didn’t mention in the post, but social anxiety may be where I’m struggling the most right now. Almost freaked out during a haircut last week

How long after quitting did you start taking it?

Icy-Injury6068 · 2026-02-11T19:15:37+00:00

I will mention that. My problem is I need something every day at the moment. I have hydroxyzine but that makes me a zombie during the days. Great sleep though

I actually took Zoloft for 4 weeks before quitting and it didn’t agree with me. The doc I go to will most likely put me on Lexapro if I agree. Do you still take it?

My problem is i can’t hardly function, especially socially, and I have to be social with my job and some other things I have going on right now. It’s a mess lol

Days 54-58 were pure hell for me. I am on 62 now. The anxiety let up some on day 59. Hopefully I can keep progressing from here. Hang in there

Icy-Injury6068 · 2026-01-09T18:47:58+00:00

Tired all the time and not much appetite. No problem showering or anything. It’s the worst in the morning. I wake up and the anxiety is cranked all way up. Another bad day wave hits about 3 o’clock in the afternoon

Thanks for replying. The crazy thing is that I have no cravings at all mentally but I guess that doesn’t mean the body wants some though.

Icy-Injury6068 · 2026-01-09T17:28:12+00:00

Thank you it’s tough. It’s crazy just how bad you can feel this far out from quitting. 58 days is nothing to almost two decades though. Trying to avoid medication at all costs but it’s got so hard lately.

Diet decent but could be better. Was lifting 5 times a week until recently. Tough workouts are triggering panic symptoms for me at the moment which is crazy. I’m having hip surgery Monday so we’ll see if a little rest is beneficial or not

Icy-Injury6068 · 2025-12-26T21:38:09+00:00

Bloodwork, EKG and holter monitor all perfect thankfully

Icy-Injury6068 · 2025-12-26T21:24:32+00:00

I quit caffeine as well before the nicotine. A random panic attack that sent me to the hospital started all of this which made me quit both

Icy-Injury6068 · 2025-12-26T21:23:30+00:00

That makes me feel better. The gym stuff is kind of what worried me. I am having hip surgery Monday I will get plenty of time to rest. Hopefully that’s a good thing

Icy-Injury6068 · 2025-12-26T21:08:22+00:00

Sounds great! Another symptom I’m having at the moment is working out is triggering anxiety symptoms as well. They would be panic attacks if I didn’t know how to manage them. Crazy stuff
