Larry, I don't know what the hell is going on. I am on week 5 of Lexapro withdrawal. For the first 2 weeks I felt really bad. Headaches, dizziness, nausea. THankfully, no zaps. It was slowly abating. Then Tuesay night I started to feel sick. Real sick. Wednesday I could barely get out of bed. Yesterday I was naeseous and dizzy, but a bit better. Today I feel very week and very naueseous. I take a multi-vitamin, bcomplex,fish oil,vitamin E. I was starting to mix in some niacinimide and magnesium. Oh, and this all started after a gave a three-four day trial of SAM-e at 200 mg a day. Well, I suspect it is just withdrawal manifesting itself in yet another horrible way. I took a vitamin today that was way high in daily natural intake. The Vit C was like 333%, E was 333%, B1 was like 600%, B2 like 700%, B6 625%, and B12 416%. This only made me feel worse. Like I said, I suspect withdrawals, but I was curious if maybe the vitamins and supplements might be playing a role. I am at wits end. This is very scary to be real sick and have no real idea. I know this is common for withdrawals, but this far out? Could the other things be exacerbating this at all? I really don't want to go to the doctor. I am afraid he will discuss going back on the Lex, which I can't do. I can't afford to go to the ER, but if I keep getting worse it is gonna freak me out even more. ANy suggestions and ideas would be much appreciated.
