Hi friends,
I just wanted to say that I can't write much this week. I thought I would try life without the anti depressants. I have what feels like the worst flu ever! I will try to keep up but give me a week or two and I should be better.
Blessing to you all, April
Answer:
Feel better!
Answer:
I don't know what you were taking or how long you have been on it. But, I have been on meds for depression for over 15 years. I have taken myself off of meds 3 times. The last time was just this past April. That is the worst I have ever been. But, I was also going through menopause. I hope you feel better soon. I couldn't stand myself after being off of them for 2 weeks.
Answer:
Wondered where you were. Is this Lexapro or Effexor? I went off them cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant and had exactly the same symptoms. They tell you to do it gradually. Hope you feel better soon. We miss you!
Answer:
EWWW!! Hope you are back to your normal happy self soon!
Answer:
Is it safe to do that?? Does your doctor know?
Answer:
Hi Friends,
Well Mom had to come over yesterday and help me help myself. It was humbling at best! However, we have been so distant and I hope she knows she is needed. I had to move a horse about 1/4 mile and then other from my back 40 acres. I did this because I expected the girl I tend to show up and want to ride.
Her parents never called, nothing. She never showed and Mom was so mad because she had to hold my hair back while I was walking the horses. Oh well.
I had been on Celexa for 3 months and lost 13 lbs. Ok, most people would love that but I only was 108. I had to wear pants with elastic or else they fell off. Zeros wouldn't fit! I also felt sick and never hungry. So they changed me to efforox and I tried for one week but it made my skin feel like ants were crawling on me. I couldn't sleep and again, it was bad. I did like the celexa but the weight loss was just too much for me.
I called my Dr. but he is gone until Friday. I feel better today than yesterday and tomorrow will be better. I never thought of what the drugs were doing to my body until I have now trying to come off. This is really really bad! I had the choice to go on them and I got to liking them so this is my fault.
I just want to try and see if I go bad to crying all day or not. I still don't like that my has autism but I pray I have found some sort of peace so I can get thru the days. Not having to fight with the state is also a relief. I truly believe that was a good portion of my problems.
I do believe that Anti Depressants are wondeful and try truly do help when it is so hard. I don't regret taking them but I sure do regret hurting my body so. Also, I want a DRINK!!!
My friends, I thank you for your concern and for being here for me. I could never get thru this without your good words.
April
