hi all-
i came off remeron about a few weeks ago. this is the first period that i am not on any antidepressant since my severe depression started over 2 years ago.
i am on 2mg of klonopin a day still. i'd like to slowly get off that as well.
i am planning on doing a ketamine infusion on 25 july.
my question is this; i am crying quite a bit. like every day and sometimes multiple times. and, hard and deep.
is this a good thing? like, am i more in touch with my feelings? or, is this not good? i have never cried this much before in my life.
all sorts of things set me off; music, memories, the nightmare that my life has become.
the crying is tiresome, but also somewhat cathartic. i do feel a sense of relief after. not sure how healthy it is to cry so much though.
i still do have suicidal thoughts. they do not seem any more greater than while i was on remeron. not sure about that though. also, my sleep is a bit messed-up. not terrible, but not great either.
so, again, anybody have any experience/advice about this?
it does feel good to be off the meds in some ways. just not having dry mouth is a bit of a victory. and, i've lost about 10 pounds that i put on.
i am still basically hiding in my room. not leaving the house, showering/etc. this has been going on for over 2 years now.
i'm rambling as usual. sorry.
main question; coming off meds and crying a lot. good or bad? or, both?
thanks for any help/advice.
john
