It just blurts out. My brain zaps were more like a brain buzz...not severe like I had experienced coming off Paxil years ago. What I am doing to help with the symptoms: the vitamins..multi, b's,c and e. Omega3. (Make sure you get your Biotin...many of us are low) I also use valerian tincture for the anxiety. The itching is relieved by an oral antihistamine. I never realized that what I didn't eat made a major impact on how I felt. So, I eat "seratonin" foods such as turkey, bananas, dark chocolate, cottage cheese, avacado, pecans and walnuts, pineapple and drink my coffee!I am not 100% yet, but, I am on the road. Don't get me wrong...I liked how I felt while on it and the Zanex. The apathy was convenient and the lack of anxiety was great! I could mask my true feeling alot easier. But now, when I look in the mirror, I no longer have anything to be depressed or anxious about...I AM RETIRED AND HAVE A GREAT LIFE!!!
I didn't want to be dependent on a synthetic mind-altering drug. I can now explore natural remedies if needed and they have NO SIDE EFFECTS!This website helped me realize I wasn't totally crazy regarding the wd symptoms! Thank you all for your posts. For those of you still in the battle or contemplating..."slug it out" and don't give up. Don't let the SPAWN OF SATAN
