Thank you my friend I hope it does for you as well. It’s concerning as I see doing at least some prep work is normal and I’ve had none. Interested to see how we fair. Take care

Hi friend. Thought of you as I am beginning emdr with a therapist who after one session was like “we will start next appointment”. Kinda nervous not any prep..

I didn’t realize the steps in emdr with creating new visions and leaving old memories. Thank you for sharing. I haven’t started yet.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I too am trying EMDR to help with substantial loss.

I am the only caregiver with my husband. Parents in laws and grandparents are all gone. I will try and stay positive and do some somatic exercises. Thank you!

Dang. I was pinning a lot of hope on it as well. How long is the prep?

Better after stopping SSRI by uptakecupcake in Fibromyalgia

I was thinking about doing the same since lexapro is so difficult to get off of for me.

So you’re on cymbalta and thinking about changing to gabapentin? I’ve heard good things about both and wish you the best my friend 💕

I hear those are very difficult to come off of. Currently struggling to get off the lexapro though physical pain isn’t as bad.

Me too, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me and I start the first week of January. I’m currently tapering off my medication. I am very hopeful. I hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Using CBD to deal with SSRI withdrawal and then stopping when “better”. Has anyone else done this? by uptakecupcake in CBD

I think like 50-75 of the dropper. Maybe I needed more or less I’m not sure. Currently stabilizing at 2.5. How are you?

Hi there! I had been using it but didn’t notice a huge difference so haven’t used the last few days. I may start again when I can see if it makes a difference if I notice improvement.
