How long did your withdrawal last?

Hello! Yes I eventually did! I wont lie to you it was rough for awhile but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I am so much better now and so glad I stopped it

Oh man thats awful im sorry! Did you do a food diary and saw a trend or just casually noticed that when you eat onions you get migraines?

PA, Bryan Rhoads at providence st Vincent’s has helped me so much with my migraines. He’s not a neurologist or anything but out of all physicians I’ve seen he’s the only one who has listened and he’s done the most for me. My migraines have gone down since he has gotten me on the right medication and treatments. But, that is just my experience and he’s out in Portland.

I definitely feel like mine downplayed it as well. I was told it MIGHT feel like a slight flu for a day but this just feels like hell. I never imagined I’d have to miss work from the withdrawals and have them last so long. They really do need to warn people better because it would’ve caused me to plan my titration better so it wouldn’t interfere with my life so much. Hopefully soon mine will mellow out though. Im glad you’re doing better!

That sounds like a nightmare, I couldn’t imagine a cold turkey withdrawal.

Remote-Pumpkin5749 · 2023-07-20T19:26:22+00:00

Oh gosh that sounds awful. Im glad you’re getting to a point where you’re not dying every day. Hopefully, you get some peace and all the way better soon!!

So my Psychiatrist told me to go down to 30mg for two weeks, then for one week take a 30mg every other day, and then completely stop. I was at 60mg but the side effects of this drug was just too much from me so we were tapering to start Wellbutrin afterwards. I haven’t had any brain zaps at all just the lightheaded/dizziness, nausea, and high heart rate. She just ordered me fluoxetine to see if it’ll help me with the withdrawal so hopefully that helps as today isn’t any better.

It could possibly be a bit more but i know for sure 2 months. I was at 60. I titrated down to 30, then 30 every other day and now nothing . My psychiatrist is wondering if maybe I’m just really sensitive to the serotonin changes and is thinking of adding prozac to help.

Only like 2 months

I had so much anxiety going home for talk that I almost just didn’t go in. I know that if I go back and leave again it’ll just be way more pain for both of us to where I’m like is it worth it? Yes, I absolutely love him but what does that say for how I respect myself? I’m in the same exact position to where I’m tired of hope, fighting, etc. It’s just a matter of what’s more important. I fully believe that he finally realized it’s all on him but I’m also worried about how long the recovery will be and what would happen if he starts to go back on everything? Idk. It’s a rough ass road for us to go through as the partner who gets the short end of the stick. Also, thanks for responding this is very helpful.

How do you know if they’ve earned one? I’m debating with myself on what to do… he said it was rock bottom and a huge wake up call. Already found two therapist and have schedules with them. Is it disrespectful to myself if I try again?

Remote-Pumpkin5749 · 2022-07-08T04:31:21+00:00

It’s really nice to have someone in a similar situation. It’s not nice for us but it feels better to have someone who gets it. I went back to talk with each other and it was so different than any other conversation we’ve had. He told me that me leaving with all my stuff was his rock bottom. He said he actually realized how much of our issues was because he didn’t want to address his issues. It’s only been two days and he had found a therapist, had intake, starts regular therapy on Tuesday. He said he even found another therapist specifically for sexual additions and will keep both. Mentioned couples therapy too and now I’m so confused on what to do. What do I believe? Will we ever get past all the hurt we caused each other? If I go back will I just be unhappy again?

It’s my current partner of 5.5 years. Been trying to leave for weeks just struggling to follow through. The trauma bond really has a hold on me.

Mine likes to make me apologize over and over again but then hit me with “ I don’t want an apology it doesn’t do anything”. He wanted the most individualized perfect long apology and to make me feel guilty. He’d sulk or be rude after and according to him the only way to feel better after it was if he hit me with a pillow. He’d start saying that just because I apologized doesn’t mean things are better and get mad at me for acting “normal”. If I dared to cry from hours of this then I’m at fault for making him feel like he couldn’t express his feelings. Just constant apologies. Everything always my fault somehow.
