I’m not sure if it maybe be because I’ve been getting lightheaded a lot with head pressure and some pressure behind eyes
Meds
Is it common to feel even more detached as I taper off my meds? It’s like it’s getting intense as I come off and hasn’t stopped for 3 weeks

Oh okay thanks guys, it’s a little comforting knowing I’m not the only one experiencing this.. it’s so crazy because I was doing so well while tapering off with the help of cbd& l theanine then once I ran out of both I stopped and then day 4 the feeling hit ???? I went back on the lowest dose I was on and it hasn’t stopped. Some moments I’m okay but I know it’s there.. I bought cbd again hoping it could help again.
I was literally on like 1mg and I was this medication for only two months.. smh. It’s so unfortunate because I’m going on a trip with friends next week and I feel like I’m going to feel so off but I’ll push through
I know everyone's different but roughly how long?Even if you're not mentally ill, discontinuing meds can be a bit frightening. Of course, if you are mentally ill and you taper off your meds, you become nakedly mentally ill.
Otherwise, you should overcome any discontinuation syndrome in a relatively short period of time.
Well lucky you lol so coming off them didn't make your dpdr worse?I discontinued SSRIs several times after being on them long term.I endured the head zaps and chills for a week, and it was behind me.
I took antipsychotics on a few occasions. I don't remember having any problem discontinuing them.
I used klonopin on several occasions. I had no problems stopping it.
I did have difficulty when I decided to quit smoking, but I was eventually successful. (One of life's greatest achievements.)
I like a good bourbon buzz, but I have had several long periods in my life where I chose not to consume alcohol.
It's been close to 5 months since I have had a drink of alcohol. Someday soon, I will celebrate my abstinence!
