I am currently taking 10 mg on cipralex every day or other day. My doctor told me I would be able to come off the pills once taking them for a few months and remaining stable, only I quickly learned she was wrong. The first few days I am off the medication I am okay, however on the third or fourth day I wake up crying, have no energy or motivation, low appetite, aches and pains, and just overall am very down. I have high anxiety on the third and fourth day off the pills, but when I begin taking them again I also have anxiety. It has now been at least 9 months taking them.
My anxiety gets so bad that I wake up extremely nauseous and usually vomit, this is one of the reasons i was put on the pills in the first place. Lately my nausea is worse and I feel an acid reflex feeling in my chest.
With all these symptoms and up's and down in my personality it's very hard to function someday's and I don't feel like myself. I know the people around me don't understand or know how to advise me, but I am hoping someone here has some advice or has experienced something similar they can tell me about.
(I am waiting to see my doctor and hear her opinion although I am not sure I completely trust it all that much now. I don't want to be switched from medication to medication because I am only 100lbs and often get very sick from meds too. I don't want to be dependant forever..)
