The not-so-good side of chemistry

The day before yesterday, I started the process of going off the antidepressants. Today my brain noticed, apparently, so now I'm all dizzy and can't concentrate worth a damn.

Ahh, the process of brain getting used to drugs. *grins*
I'm on Cipralex, what are you on? ;)

Remeron. And getting used to it was last April. That took almost a week. This is going off them. Which I'll be doing for 4-6 weeks. I sure hope I won't be this dizzy the entire time.

Oh, great for you that you're going off them! :)
Hope you feel better soon. :)

I've been feeling better for the last few months, which is why I'm working full-time again. I started taking Remeron for stress-induced sleep problems (feel asleep all right, but would wake up again every half hour). It helped a lot with that. But I won't really know if I am better until I stop taking them and see if I sleep normally.

Although I think I will.

Ugh, know the feeling. Hope things will work out for you once the chemical "push" is gone. I'm damn envious and proud of you, as I've been on the damn things since '96 or so and haven't dared to quit thanks to my life being shaky all the time.

But damn, that's good news. I wish you the best of luck. Bright Blessings.
