I'm apathic, sometimes a little bit anxious, pinchy awful skin, blurry sight, tinnitus. Sometimes a little cold and My concentration is not okay. . My sleep is not as deep as normal... That's about it I think. These feelings do not all come at the same time but it's Fuck in tough to life like this.

Well you are lucky. That is far less symptoms than most people. The emotional aspect can often be overwhelming with massive crying spells, anger, fear etc. It is not just an occurrence in people with prior psychological history. Most of those who were given Cymbalta for pain (arthritis, fibro, neuropathy...) experience the same emotional trauma. As things go you are doing well then. Hopefully you will feel better soon and drop some more on the C.

 

Thanks for the info.

Now I take 1 or 2 half of a clonazepam a day to get through. I know it is not okay but it gives me some relief.

At night I try to do 30min of sports minimum to get my stress out of my system.
I take my magnesium, vit B vit C, Vit K2 and omega 3 supplements a day and I eat reasonable healthy.

I can't do more I think then to be patient now... That's not my strongest part

Hey HTSP, don't feel bad about the Clonazepam. You can always wean when the time is right.

I tripled my benzo in withdrawal, been tapering for more than Two years.
I will be finished by Christmas Eve. Yeah! Three more days.

Time, patience, no hurry unless you want to end up banging your head on walls!

You have a good routine. You will be OK!

I have the feeling that it never stops... I'm a fighter but this journey kills the biggest fighter.

When I'm off it, I will start a lawsuit I think.

[gail]

You are right, it's a killer almost. Many have gone down this route, and felt that they were riding on a wing and a prayer.

Good moments are on their way, believe it or not!

htsp,

 

I also stayed with the benzo (Alprazolam) at a double dosage while things were horibble.  There is no shame in that.

 

You will be fine - really!!

[Howtostoppropperly]

Yesterday I went to 14mg and I will lower 1mg a day now. Lets go for it! Have a great Christmas holiday guys.

[Howtostoppropperly]

Down to 12mg today... Hope I will be arriving in 12 days. My new goal afterwards will be lowering Zoloft to 50mg

[Howtostoppropperly]

Down to 10mg... This night I had some pain in my knees and a light headache but I will proceed. My thinking is already more clear and I have more energy.

[gail]

Bonjour HTSP,

I appreciate your daily update. Keep it up. Always a pleasure reading your saga.

[Howtostoppropperly]

Today a little anxious and apathic... I presume that's withdrawal??

[fishinghat]

Not unusual. You might consider stabilizing your Cymbalta dose for 2 or 3 days so it doesn't get worse. Then start weaning again.

[Howtostoppropperly]

No I will forward now, Fuck C!

[gail]

Well if it doesn't work well, you can always unfuck the C for a few days!Lol!

[Howtostoppropperly]

Happy new year all you guys!
Ive been stabilizing on 9mg now because my mood is down and apathic... I did had to unlucky the C after all. :-( :-(

[TryinginFL]

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you, as well!

 

I am praying for a year much better than the last..

[Howtostoppropperly]

I really hate the apathic almost non-feelings if C. Really awful

[TryinginFL]

It will pass...

 

Have you seen the forum "listing the positive events daily"?  You can search for it in the upper right corner of the page.

 

There are some helpful positive posts there that I feel might give you hope

[Howtostoppropperly]

This night was horrible... it was almost my old complaints were suddenly back. Since friday I feel apathic and depressed.

Is this withdrawal or do really need to worry that my old complaints will come back? help me out guys!

[Howtostoppropperly]

I will take 0,25mg alprozolam 2x times a day without thinking to get this period through.

Is the zoloft working, that's the question that I have? 

[Howtostoppropperly]

Should I lower my C further till 0 or should I stabilize on 9mg FH?

Therapeutic is 9mg the same as 0mg so why take it then is my thought
