Appointment at the doctors at 5:10pm. I'm not very good at prolonged suffering. God, I feel ill.

 

[M A R S]

i hope all is going to be ok..

 

[Martinelv]

Cheers mate. If nothing else, it'll stop me moaning on here.

 

[widescreened]

R u goin to get more benzos?Did u drink entire bottle of wine last nite,could a hangover be interfering with your mood as well?i suppose you know your own form better than anyone else and are basing your decision on that.

 

[Martinelv]

Nope. I'm just going to explain that I've got cold-turkey Cipramil withdrawal, and ask if he can give me enough so I can do a slow taper.

 

[g-funk]

You'll be fine. DO taper though this time. If you can get off Efexor then Cipramil is a doddle, surely?!?

 

[Sojourner]

I don't blame you for trying. I went cold turkey off Zoloft July 1 and I suffered only one symptom: I felt better every day!

Good luck at the doctor's; I"m sure you'll come home happy.

 

[Scattered]

Are you still taking any meds Sojourner?

 

[enngirl5]

Martin, quit being so stubborn. I'm glad you gave in. I say take all the help you can get in these situations. I know how I feel 2 days off of Celexa, and I hate hate hate taking a drug like this, but I'm scared of the withdrawal. So I stay on it. And my latest thing is I think it's making me stupid. I feel like I don't do as well in school as I used to. Like I have to try harder. But then the material is getting harder so that could be it. I don't know. I don't wanna think about it. I really hope it works out for you.

 

[Da'Burgh]

Sojourner, I wouldn't say you suffered!

 

[Sojourner]

No, scattered, no meds at all.

Burgh -- yeah, that was a lame joke. ; )

Horrible stuff, Cipramil. The last time I mess with pyschoactives, legal or not.

 

[Martinelv]

Well, I'm back on the Cipramil...and I accidently got some benzo's two. And it's all back to normal today. Had to wait a few hours while the Cirpamil seeped into my lobes, but I had passed out on benzo's by then!

Waring: If you are of a nervous disposition, don't read the following:
DISCLAIMER# 764764 - The following is a account of my 2hr walk home on Thursday, through pitch black, dark fields, with head empty of Seretonin.

There was me, dizzy, sweating, naturally nervous that I was alone in the dark, middle of knowhere. I kept saying to myself - look, the only things that could hurt me are other people (none for miles away) and a pack of rabid dogs (unlikely), or my own mind. My....own.....mind. Oh dear. I swear to god, every rustle in the bushes (rabbits, snakes) suddenly morphed (in my head) into something nasty, watching me with itent. I had the feeling that something awfull was happning in the woods either side of me...too macabre to describe. I could (almost) see these giant figures, incredibly spindly, at the top of the hill, laughing and pointing at me and midge type people following my step. The sounds of cows mooing sounded like the cries of children. Eeek.. I've never ran so fast. Saying that, I was laughing (not like a loon I might add) at the incredible capacity of the human brain to torment you. I never actually 'saw' anything mind you, just my fevered brain and the natural aspect of your mind playing tricks on you in the dark. It was a hell of a ride!

DISCLAIMER#987698 - This all happened because of my stupidity of cold-turking CIpramil. Please don't be scared. Proper withdrawal is usually without any problems.

 

[g-funk]

Yeah Cipramil did diddly squat for me. But, Efexor does everything for me and many people hate that drug.

Glad you are feeling better Martin. Slow taper and you'll be fine. You know you can do the benzo withdrawal easily. SSRI's are a walk in the park compared to that if done properly. I don't blame you for going back. That's not giving in at all
