Havent been here in awhile.. So along with the ptsd they have concluded I also have moderate to severe OCD. More with the intrusive thoughts and getting stuck. So to get it to be quiet I try super hard with mindfulness, breathing, and grounding. Sometimes it works usually the only way is to get...

Ka-9 I was wanting to take a "bit" tried and suffered. I quit smoking 16 yrs ago so I feel its like that yet way worse.way worse . Today I went swimming in lake huron jumped off a dock and actually had fun. And.....Friday got gas at costco without a meltdown, (biiiig deal)my wife was very...

Im gonna give the benadryl a try.. Being back at work aint helping either ....

So Ive been off now fo 3 weeks. Afternoons are not good, but my question is I have such graphic nightmares, my wife has to bring me down. Any suggestions that are not drug taking. I dont ever want the withdrawal again it was hell.

I took the dogs out for a run and it felt good. But know back to shocks

What does the b12 do? And how long does this last? Right now it feels hopeless

Im in day 8 no effoxer after tapering down from 150 mg effoxer xr. My trip so far Brain zaps like a lightning storm every minute it seems... then it goes through my body. Wicked badass dreams that are gross assuming i fall asleep. Dizziness vertigo like being on a boat in a storm drunk. Im...

So technically off the effoxer but I have a bunch to take every other day. We are on a family holiday with parents and siblings at our trailer. So in a nutshell I'm in a crap spot. Last night bad dreams I even woke my wife up when I was speaking a different language. I remember that I was...

I'm coming off it because things are worse on it, (constant bad dreams, no "levelness" up sky high one week and 2 weeks way way down and the thoughts are worse) so I'm in a hellish spot maybe it is the meds gonna find out. The plan is to see how it goes and if poorly try something else. As for...

Does anyone have any tips? Today is worse The "talk" in my head is bad It keeps repeating and repeating l can't seem to keep grounded. To top it off I have a job to hold down.

So I'm now on last week of pills. Feeling it today.. Spins ,feeling sick, tired feels like my brain super sensitive, bad thoughts that don't want to leave me and anxious. To sum it up I wish I didn't exist. I'm hoping this will pass. Yee haw .

I learned that I react wildly because an intrusive thought comes in my head and to extinguish it I get mad. Ex Went to Hope Bay lookout (it's a great view) and in my head... I heard... the brakes will fail and we will crash, and go over the edge and die ..then I got courage looked over the edge...

Ya that's what I was told " hopefully you don't great brain zaps"

Ye it's nice to know that's for sure. I'll be coming off effexor. I think it has been messing up most of all .
