Hi everyone! I´m so glad to find this website... I was desperate and this surely gave me some hope!
I´m new here and as I'm not a native speaker, you may notice some flaws on my messages... I hope you understand.
I´m living in the USA for a year as part of my PhD, then I´ll came back to my country. I have fibro and having been taking this poison for 2 years and a half. The initial dosage was wrong , according to the last doctor I talked too. He said his colleague should have introduced it as 30mg then increase it soon to 60mg.
So, I came here with the dosage of 60mg, since february. I decided to stop taking it for several reasons: I stay away from the bathroom (for number 2...) at least every 4 days... My blood pressure has increased a lot and the doctors couldn´t find a cause for that, as I´m 32, so they think it´s because of the drug; and the last but not the least, I wanna have a baby, it´s time for that... i´m 32.
Though I´m a nurse (which are the worst patients, I must admit), I reduced the dosage for 30mg and i´m now living all the nightmare that you´ve described through the posts: dizziness, nausea and vomiting; blurred vision; fatigue; vivid nightmares; I´ve been crying for days without any major reason...
To sum up, I wanna know how long I must reduce the beads... as far as I understood, i must open the capsule, remove 3 beads... then 6 beads... but do you mean a daily basis reducing?
I hope someone helps me soon, can´t wait to start the beading count... I wanna highlight the fact that I can´t afford a physician here and my insurance is only for emergencies. Besides, I don´t wanna use prozac... I´ve done that for years too...unless it is extremely necessary!
Anyway, hope hearing from you very soon!
Thanks for having me!!!
