Hi, I would like to introduce myself. I am a 31 year old woman who is fighting hard to overcome a two year disaster with depression/anxiety medications and my own anxiety/depression problems.
I am currently coming off a medication and it is making me very sick. The doctors wanted me to come off it quicker than I am, but the withdrawals are so awful, (shaking, sweats, headaches, amplified depression, nausea, pain in centre of chest upon waking) that I am only now just down to the last 10mg and I am frightened to 'take the leap' and do down to nothing.
The reason I am finally saying no to medication after two years of trying all kinds of types, is that my ears are ringing like crazy and I think this has to do with my latest medication.
Has anyone else experienced awful withdrawals? It is so comforting to be writing about this to people who may have experienced similar effects. Its been a lonely time for me.
Thank you so much for reading about me, I hope to get to know some of you soon.
Chloe
