this is intense. i never thought coming off prescription medication would wreak so much havoc with my body. now i somewhat know how a heroin addict feels!
i know you all probably don't want to read about this, but i'm going to keep a log of this process so once this shit-fight is over i can look back over this and be reminded never to get involved with this supposed 'wonder' drug again. four days without meds and this is where i'm at..
spent most of last night awake due to chronic insomnia + whenever i would try shut my eyes they would blink like crazy. ended up taking some codeine to knock me out so i could at least get a few hours rest.
very nauseous, feeling like i could vomit at any second.
quite aggitated, finding it difficult to just relax.
chronic vertigo, if i move my head too fast it feels like the room is spinning.
not feeling as teary or moody, although i've been by myself the last 24 hours so haven't really had anyone to lash out at.
if anyone is thinking of going on zoloft, i urge you to think seriously about it. i can't wait to be drug-free. in hindsight, i probably should have just stuck to some good old CBT.
going to eat some breakfast, go for a short walk to get some fresh air and try to remain hopeful that this too shall pass.
insomnia sucks! D:
ReplyDeletethis shouldn't happen if you ween yourself off it slowly.
i think the greater the discontinuation symptoms are, the better it was working for you.
yeah i know, stupid me decided to try cold turkey though :| ..seems that this approach definitely isn't working, the withdrawals are awful. so i guess i'll resort to the weaning off strategy now. gah can't wait for it all to be over.
