Here I am a newbie to your forum but far from a newbie to the world of ssri's
I have taken many over the years.. I am bi polar and I have tried to withdraw many time.
Well now I have had enough. Really enough and I am on day six of Seroxat withdrawal, cold turkey.
I know you will all throw your arms in the air in horror but I feel left with no alternative anymore.
Should withdrawal syptoms become unbearable I do have a small prescription of Sertraline - which so far I know nothing about - here, but I am really going all out and have joined you all for support and info regarding healthy eating etc.
The main problem in my case is that I am a UK citizen living in Turkey and therefore cannot call upon medical support, doctor etc.
There isn't much I don't know about life with Seroxat - 15/16 years worth and would hope to be able to give help back.
Just now, although I know it is early days, I am not too bad, although I have had a tendancy to cry for no reason and the head shocks are just setting in... I have experienced them all before so I know what to expect.
The first real symptom was inability to sleep and when I did, sleeping as if dead for hours and having really vivid dreams that would have done Steven Spielberg proud in movie land - all this I have had before.
So sorry to waffle but I do look forward to knowing you all and sharing your stories. So much to read here I can see no work being done for a while...
Kind regards to you all.
