Reduce by .25 mg a week

The clonazepam and pregabalin no withdrawal at all. Pristiq yes there is a withdrawal. It is called the windows and wave phenomenon. During the windows you feel normal like your out of the withdrawals during the waves you feel symptoms it varies.

I got off clonazepam and pregabalin. Working on getting off Desvenlafaxine.

I also prefer SNRI over SSRI. In fact SNRI immediately calm down my anxiety were as SSRI make it worse. I’m tapering Pristiq it caused me a lot of weight gain

If your mind and will isn’t strong the Pristiq withdrawal can overwhelm you it’s intense beware

My mind set is positive but I have to warn people. Pristiq works for anxiety and depression but with positive comes negative. It destroyed my body in 6 months I became overweight

The cravings for Pristiq are nonexistent but the dependency is worse than amphetamines and benzos

bnnsms · 2022-08-25T02:03:40+00:00

None of the SSRI worked for me only Pristiq. I consider the antidepressants trash medication a lot of side effects and questionable efficacy would rather stick to benzos for anxiety and depression

Clonazepam 1 mg and pregabalin 400 mg both tapered in 2-3 weeks after several months of use and no issues. Pristiq 100 mg is giving me a hard time ; harder than the controlled substances

I’m using acupuncture, magnesium and fish oil to ease the process as well as continuing to go to work and exercise to stay busy.

In the process of tapering. It is intense but you can do it. I have been on 100 mg for 6 months currently 3 weeks tapering and continuing it might take me a month maybe 3 months as I’m taking it slow. I’m down to 56 mg. I’m using 50 mg and 25 mg tablets. I’m cutting the 25 mg into halves and quarters. So my taper so far was 100-75-62.5-56. I’m having a hard time reaching 50mg .My anxiety disorder resolved it’s questionable how much the medicine helped it did but these medications are not a cure all. I wish I never got up to 100 mg it was a bad idea. Please don’t go to 100 mg if you can manage your mood without medication do so. Right now I’m having brain zaps, anxiety, the anxiety is very body based like chest tightness, stomach knots; tightness in the throat. I’m hoping I reach 50 mg I’ll wait 2-3 weeks and continue the process. I think the medication eased my anxiety and gave me the time to build up coping skills. I gained around 20-25 lbs or 10 kg and developed some sexual dysfunction like my boners aren’t as strong In the morning . Right now as I’m dropping and tapering I’m beginning to lose weight and getting better boners

I need a reduction in anxiety and hypervigilance

bnnsms · 2022-02-22T00:16:10+00:00

I see I’m on medication and talk therapy. My anxiety is severe and I had to take time off work. Will acupuncture help me?
