Life w/o Neurontin and Effexor

Posted by Jason Dicks on October 21, 2002, at 10:57:17

Suffering dangerous withdrawels, advice needed. I'm taking....
- KLONAPIN (social anxiety) 0.5mg, 2x/daily
- ADDERALL (severe ADD) 10mg, 2x/daily
Insurance problems ended my....
- NEURONTIN (social anxiety) 600Mg, 3x/daily
- EFFEXOR (depression) 75Mg, 2x/daily
I had no choice. The humiliating result: Paranoid, can't leave house or use phone. I'm edgy: a hand on my shoulder brings shivers. I wear shoes in bed, for strange fear of needles in my feet. My family now avoids me as I'm irritable and short-tempered -- like Robin Williams turned Dennis Leary. Also with my wife I now "perform" like an eager 13-year-old.
Yesterday I wore ear plugs all day to calm my nerves. Today, maybe gloves or sunglasses too. Alcohol is not an option. So besides hypersensitivity, I'm also suffering insomnia and night-sweats (not because of shoes). Nausea, back pain, muscle spasms are all present. This is my world for a while. How do I survive this?
