[Ki...] Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Hi I’ve been taking sporadic amounts of diazepam (between 5 - 17 mg a week spread over the week approximately 50 mg a month in total) However, I have also taken a cocktail of other antidepressant drugs since last October (Sertraline for one week, citalopram one week, Mirtazapine for 3 months and more recently EScitalopram and some zopiclone 3.75 mg for last 15 days). I developed terrible sinus inflammation and congestion, middle ear infection, Eustachion tube Dysfunction and sinus infection and Tinnitus on Mirtazapine so decided to come off it quite quickly on my doctors advice over 17 days dropping from 22.5 mg to 7.5 mg in 17 days. During this quick taper I also had a light General Anesthetic for an Endoscopy 4 weeks ago. Since then I’ve been a complete mess with massive anxiety|mania, waking up abruptly at 4 am every morning with severe anxiety, severe food allergies to everything I put in my mouth including water. My throat swells and tightens after food and my sinuses swell up like balloons becoming congested with thick clear sticky mucus causing severe post nasal drip choking me 24/7. My ears also become blocked and very painful and I have some tinnitus too. I’ve lost a stone in weight as I can only tolerate 2 vegetables, some plain chicken and rice and gluten free porridge with rice milk. Are these symptoms familiar to others for withdrawal ? I am looking for advice on how to handle these withdrawal symptoms and how to taper safely from diazepam Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
