Owwie
I decided now was the time to come off my anti-anxiety medication, with school being done and everything. So I know that cold turkey is brutal on SSRI drugs, so I set myself up to wean...20mg down to 10mg...every other day for a week or so...then 5mg every other day until I stopped completely 6 days ago.
At first it was just the normal dizzy spells when standing too quickly, nothing too serious. Lack of concentration and being zoned out...to be honest I am like that at the best of times ;)...but 4 days ago the worst withdrawal symptom hit... dry mouth...ok on its own but I have developed mouth ulcers on both sides of my tongue (they call em canker sores over here which is a scary sounding name yes?). Oh boy are they sore and I missed out on the nice food at the wedding I was at on saturday (step sister in laws if there is such a thing)...although the champagne went down well ;)
I know my symptoms aren't bad really... I have read up everything that *can* happen and my case is mild...at least I am not having cold sensations called Brain Freeze! that people talk about...
and the soup for lunch was good lol
I guess I don't need the drugs anymore... I am irritated but looking on the bright side lol
