[Bl...] Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Wow I've had this for awhile but this morning was terrible and I still feel pretty bad. Had to drag myself out of bed so anxious and feeling nauseous . It's torture I hope it gets better as day goes on . I might start meditating in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Blkhawks.I tell people who don't experience this don't know what the hell we go through. Mornings reverse all the good felt the previous. Funny thing each morning makes you forget it did get better yesterday. It get better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 What do you try to do to help out through.Might pick a leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bl...] Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It is hell at least we're not alone. What gets me out of bed in the morning is putting on headphone and listening to music while either pacing or going for a walk. I then munch on some breakfast and have a green tea. What do you do? Much love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Be...] Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 According to what I have read,you are supposed to get out of bed soon as you wake up.Take a cold shower.Then atleast do something like read a newspaper. That's according to Dr Claire Weekes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Are you still taking Lithium as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bl...] Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 im going to try that forsure. A bit scared of the cold shower loll but worth a try. Yes i still take lithium but im not bipolar apparently small doses can be used as a booster for ssris ( im on Zoloft) . are you on any other meds for anxiety or depression?

[Be...] Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 I am on prozac 20mg.Making 7 weeks now.It seems to work though some days are whac.I believe the worst of symptoms is depression. Hands down for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bl...] Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 It takes a while to work but your probably through the worst of the side effects .I might have to switch my meds up about!do you ever you ever wake up with terrible nauseu along with the anxiety? I wake up so anxious and feeling like I'm about to throw up and sick as heck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 About Nausea I felt it today but normally wake up with a feeling in my stomach I can not explain in words.Just hellish.Anxiety would be an understatement, terror matches better for the description. I tell you this benzo beast is sick.Been fighting it since 2018 but it won't late up easy. We gotta keep fighting though.No option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bl...] Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 For sure man once we get through this we will never take being healthy for grantit. How you doing today? I'm going back to work tomorrow after 2 months so I'm really anxious sort of freaking out but I guess I'll get readjusted after a couple of weeks..

[Be...] Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 I worked all through my taper .It was the hardest thing I did.I dreaded mondays.I dreaded mornings. But the beauty of it is the mind readjusts itself and adapts. How long do you start feeling good in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 A good morning to you. Woke up feeling a burning pain from my stomach to my feet. It burns to the bone.The anxiety is not much as for now as I have learned to live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bl...] Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Good morning ! I feel the burning more on my skin. Would tylonol help the burning pain you think? And good that the anxiety is more under control for you that's the worst part! Getting ready for work feel like throwing up let's get this over with lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Tylenol is an opiod used to relieve chronic pain. I wouldn't take that for this as it is mad addictive. With work you just have to ride it out. Does Lithium help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Bl...] Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 true that about the tylenol. the lithium help abit to stabilise my mood as i alreeady have pretty bad depression without the withdrawls. apparently low doses of lithium are good for when an ssri isnt working that well it can actually boost the effects of of the ssri or so they say. does the burning feeling last all day?

Guest [be...] Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 As crazy as this sounds the mornings are the best part of my day , as little as 4 months ago I had that terrible doom and gloom every morning for around 14 months , I never thought it would go away but it did .

[Be...] Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 Bilhawks the burning is for the morning. It is a morning horror package.Infact it takes around 20mins. You mean you had mood swings before benzos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Be...] Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 I see.I really never had depression apart from just situational depression during a setback but it was light and always passed quick.I got anxiety after being put on an AD after a mental breakdown that gave me a panic attack.
