My benzo, doxyramine, ssri story


[Vl...]

Recommended Posts

I had taken clonazepam 0.5mg, escitalopram10mg(ssri), and doxyramine(sleep aid, otc) for 2 years.

 

And 7/30 2020, i decided to get out of this pills and smoking.

So i cold turkeyed, but people said the symptoms will go away in a month. But they didnt go away, i beared for 5 weeks.

 

And asked to my doctor. Whats wrong with me. And he said. The pills already got out of your body. So the symptoms are maybe a new disease. Then i just got back on the pills except sleep aid, doxyramine.

 

At that time, i felt so miserable. And im korean  and not good at english. Theres not much info in korea about these medications.

I read a blog saying it should be slow like 50% 2weeks.

So i did way fast taper again. Also except doxyramine

 

Some day i started to research in english not korean. And so many infos i found, so i got back on again. Also except doxyramine, the sleep aid(otc).

But the symptoms stll happening to me. I got better since im.back. but not all of them disappeared.

And i heard that once someone cold turkeyed, the symptoms dont go away even if i go back on the pills....

 

So im wondering these are coming from doxyramine or benzo or ssri?

Hello Vladivostok1, welcome to BenzoBuddies,

 

I'm glad you have found us.  No worries about your English, I understand your post very well.  I'm sorry you are having such a round time.  It is hard to say which medicine in causing your symptoms and maybe it is a combination.  Many of us here have symptoms for longer than a month after stopping or tapering off.  The good news is most of us do heal.
