Wow,
I can really relate to your experience although my meds were different.
I went off all meds cold turkey on Jan 2. It's been a real struggle. I was on Celexa and Adderall and was abusing alcohol from time to time, well, fairly often. I haven't had a drop of alcohol since then either. I'
ve experienced major crashes, unbelievable amount of sleep and unbelievable amount of food consumption, esp. in the baked goods category. I, too, cannot fit into my clothes. However, I'm determined not to start another "diet" as my goal is to cut down on my binge eating. I know in my head that restricting leads to binges so I want to be patient with the weight problem.On the plus side, on days when I'm feeling like I have more energy I see improvements in my strength, like at the gym. I no longer have insomnia, my sex drive has improved physically but since I've gained weight, I dont' want my husband to touch me! Duh.
I stopped seeing my PDoc. I'm just so confused. I hope you all the best. It's so hard knowing what is right and best for ourselves.
