Thank you for the kind words. It was very needed today.
It is so hard when you feel you are alone. I talk with my wife but sometimes if you haven't been on these types of meds it is hard to communicate what the problems are. I just want to be free of the numbness and be a good husband again.
Yes, going down to 3.75 might make the depression worse. I really haven't stablized on the 7.5 mg. Today was terrible. I had to sit through presentations at a conference and it was brutal, but it may have been brutal without being on drugs ;) The heavy head stuff was very bad. I have started to get a heavy chest too. Kind of like anxiety but different. I know this is drug related. I do find some uplifting in my mood during the day and it is when the heavy head lessens some. When I feel down again the heaviness increases. Nausea too. Then followed by extreme hunger. I really need to wait about 3 weeks because I have something important but I don't know if I will be worse by then.
I am glad you are med free. How long did the sleep problems persist after going off? Any anxiety?
