This is textbook, and I am glad that I could be of help.

 

The problem is that the symptoms can change as your body finds its status quo and you eventually arrive at homeostatis again.

 

Hang in there - you are doing well. And just remember that it is the meds that are doing this to you and nothing wrong with you!!!

SO much help. I am still having some vision issues, but very grateful the anxiety seems to have tapered off even if its just a bit. Also the body zaps have seemed to take a break.

Time and patience my friend. Don't over do it for a while. Relapses can occur.

That is good to hear MCD.

 

It is the inevitable roller-coaster. Symptoms come and go.

 

Your brain is trying to figure out how to balance your chemicals again having let the drug undertake it on its behalf previously.

 

It cannot know off the bat. It has to change the level of the chemicals, see what happens, and adjust accordingly. It takes time.

 

Just think of those things at funfairs where you throw balls and try to get them through the holes. Some go through - others miss completely. But eventually, you hit enough holes and you win a fish!!! LOL

 

An obscure analogy granted, but it is surprisingly close to how the brain works with synapses :)
