My body hates me...

I'm weaning off my Cymbalta and Geodon and not doing well. I keep having those stupid electric shocky things and I'm nauseated, have a migraine and was freezing but now I'm sweating.

I sit here and grumble and curse at myself for all this crap I have to deal with. I don't think I could handle one more thing. I'm tapped out.

Hi Chelle

When I think back to a few weeks ago when you wrote in..you sure have come a long way and should be proud of yourself!

You are cleansing your body of drugs you no longer need because you have made progress towards better health! Who could ask for more?

Keep up the good work...we think the world of you Chelle..keep us posted as to your progress.

Hi Chelle, I'm doing another wean right now also. I'm still in the early days of it but fully intend to dope myself up silly if it gets rough, that or head to hospital. One cold turkey in the last couple of months was enough.

Take care of yourself, and know we're thinking of you.

Glad to hear you are hanging in there Chelle..wonderful news!

Do you have any interests that you can distract yourself with eg. jigsaws, craft etc..sometimes helps to shift the focus of thought when we are feeling 'ick'!

Years ago I had to change meds for depression and had to go thru withdrawls just like you Chelle..think I spent most of my time shaking...I know I felt dreadful anyhow..but it was worth the fight Chelle..am proud of your efforts!

Thanks Chelle,

I'm glad to hear your's are starting to ease. Mine so far have mostly been aching muscles though I noticed last night and today the anxiety/ depression is starting to hit. I see a new pdoc today for a second opinion of everything.
