Hang in their Patrick. Thanks to you guys and the petition where people also complained of similar symptoms, I am able to verify the validity of my own problems with this drug. I promise you that one way or another, I will see that this is brought to light...at the least. The price for our taking this drug has been outrageous to both ourselves and the people around us, and we don't even know exactly what to do or how long this will last, what the effects are to our bodies, minds and spirits. I'm not sure if it's worse for those with serious mental disorders or for those of us who were prescribed the drug for things like "fatigue," or -- dare I say -- hot flashes.
I'd say they've got some 'splainin to do :-). Like I say, hang in there...I'm working on it almost as I write this.
In the meantime, try to know that most of what you are feeling is withdrawal and please, please try to get yourself to a trustworthy M.D. and inform them about what's up. They do care, but they don't know. If you can get some SAMe into your system, it's expensive, but it starts to help, and I don't know why, but DMAE has helped me, too. I have isolated this result as I started DMAE separately.Yesterday someone tipped me off to trying a diet for colitis, and I'm now going to try to avoid most raw foods, which I tend to eat, like salads, dodge all dairy -- cause dairy of any kind isn't working. Eating tiny, tiny amounts seems to be better, and be sure to cook everything. She recommended potatoes...of course, I haven't eaten starches for so long that it's really hard for me to submit to this sort of thing. Maybe I can eat a piece of a yam or something. Also, probably fats should be avoided. While your stomach may like sugar at this time, and it may be good for you, some of us just can't go there cause it also increases the amount of yeast in your system. Harumph......A little rice, or brown rice is okay, boiled chicken, salmon are all thumbs up.
I guess some compromise is just going to be a fact of life here :-).Anyway, if you are one of those people that eat potatoes, they could make you feel better.
I know you didn't ask for a diet. I hope you feel better. The Benadryl is pretty amazing, huh?
