the slow withdrawal....... from hell.
okay, fellow board members. I must be the slowest case here and as i continue to check in i keep thinking that maybe my depression is just the worst of the lot.
I started down from 300 XR in June and am now at 185.5....
Even with this slow withdrawal .... I am so exhuasted, always fighting a feeling of not being safe, som ekind of terror behind it all. just a horrid feeling.
my doctor told me that below 225, the norepheneprhine is no longer active. that's why i have the rushing in my chest, the lethargy, the aches and pains.I tried for one week at 150 but it was so dibilating. I keep waiting for an evening off of where I am right now so I can further decrease. I am seeing a naturopath who is giving me herbs and flower essences and energy healing. she is convinced i can succeed.
one of the things i keep hearing in this board is that you need support. i just don't have much of it. I feel very hopeless right now.
