Mighty Newbie here…hey, I’m Tash…Triathlete struggling with a broken brain 🧠

Wish I had found this place sooner…Diagnosed Bipolar 2 fourteen years ago and currently having a really rough time with having my meds changed. Terrible withdrawals from weaning off certain ones and frustrating side effects from starting others. I can’t drive, I can’t stand up without feeling incredibly dizzy, nauseous and disoriented. I’m running fevers and have terrible headaches. But I’m alive and trying my best to not lose the hope of coming out of this just that little bit stronger. For now, it’s rest and the therapeutic sound of kitty purring 🤍 #Bipolar2Disorder #withdrawals #meds #BipolarDepression #supportanimal #bipolarathlete

Withdrawals from high dose venlafaxine?

I ended up in A&E today after realising I'd been taking 600mg venlafaxine daily for two weeks instead of 300mg. I'd been feeling awful and having intense chest pains and high heart rate but GP over the phone said it was just anxiety. A&E told me to drop straight down to 300mg and that I wouldn't get any withdrawals. As someone whose decreased venlafaxine before, I know going down by 37.5mg is hard...nevermind 300mg. Terrified of the next few days and what it might bring... #Venlafaxine #Antidepressant #withdrawals

Having Withdrawals

I ran out of my Paxil the other day without any refills left. I thought I could make it to my next appointment, but these withdrawal symptoms are no joke. Please learn from my mistake. Call your doctor if you need more meds before your next appointment. Stopping abruptly (or running out) can lead to some unpleasant symptoms. #paxil #Paroxetine #withdrawals #Depression

Grumpy Catsheep #photoshop #artist #CheckInWithMe

Good Morning Mighty Family

Well this Picture really took me by surprise, such a Grumpy face.
But it's a cat's face. How cool it that. The article was far too long and far too many words to read at this early hour after a few hours sleep.

Pepper wanted up and out for a wee. Sigh. 🐶 he is now back to sleep yelping and running and dreaming in his sleep, that I just had to wake him up. He didn't sound very happy in his dream at all.
Me I'm wide awake and I'd rather be asleep thankyou Pepper.
But anyways the picture is a very cool artist who uses photoshop to make her work.
Love it.
Grumpy looking animals for fun.

Pretty much the way I feel this morning. My body feels the same too. Med withdrawals please hurry up and go away. I want to go back to my normal self . 😥😓😒😔😕🙃😢😟
Even having nightmares and strange dreams again. In complete full body pain.
Hurry up and go away, I'd like to go back to my normal chronicpainwarrior mode now please. I can cope with that.
Love n hugs Tj ❤🧡🤗

Benzo Belly:The ugly truth #Klonopin

This is benzo belly, one of the worst symptoms of Klonopin withdrawal. I’m totally putting myself out there in hopes of helping someone, somewhere. After much study I have learned that Benzos work on gabba receptors and our guts are lined with them. Benzo belly- bloating, extension, pain, indigestion, constipation or loose stools etc- is caused by inflammation of said gabba receptors in our guts. In essence, the receptors are revolting, they want their gabba fix. It is extremely embarrassing and it has destroyed the little self esteem I had. Yes, it is as uncomfortable as it looks and no, I am not five months pregnant. Withdrawals are like being punished for trying to recover. It’s maddening. Thank goodness I found out what was going on. I was convinced I had endometriosis or ovarian cancer. When will I find relief? I am a 140 woman with an abnormally painful, bulbous belly, and it sucks.

have you ever missed a dose of Quetiapine/Soroquel and then felt really sick?

not sure if I’m actually sick or if it’s me expecting to feel sick and then bringing it on myself #Medication #Anxiety #Depression #Quetiapine #seroquel #withdrawals

my first time, i need help #withdrawal #Xanax #withdrawals

i’m withdrawing from xanax, using the tapering method. however, i’m using xanax to taper and i know that something with a longer half-life is ideal. can i still succeed with xanax? i’ve gotten diarrhea, nausea, and extreme shakes. i’m scared about the physical withdrawal, not so much the psychological. please help with any comforting advice or tips.

Getting desperate #paxil #withdrawals

I’ve been on Paxil for almost four years. It helped me so much at first. But lately I’ve been so down and depressed and they actually told me Paxil can cause depression!! It took me a few months to taper from 40mg to 20mg and the withdrawals were so bad! I’ve been on the same dose for the last few months but today I started tapering down to 15mg. Send prayers and good thoughts if you can. Withdrawals terrify me. I vape cbd for anxiety and considering starting the cbd oil again also.

Anyone else really struggling with withdrawal from antidepressants? #withdrawal #withdrawals #struggling #scared #failure

I’ve been on a combination of three tablets, antidepressants, mood stabilisers, and anti psychotic. I’m off the anti psychotic tablets and currently going through withdrawals from my antidepressants, I tampered off as you are supposed to. But it is so much harder than I thought it would be. I feel exactly like I did in the weeks before my breakdown. The fear I’m feeling that the last four years have been for nothing is overwhelming. I’m so scared I’m slipping backwards. Does anyone have any advice??
