Quetiapine/Klonopin - addicted?
Zagor replied to Thanos's topic in Other Depression and Anxiety Medications
My brother is still going through hell and one doctor thinks it is because of klonopin withdrawal. I have also been on it for almost 15 years and sometimes on quite high doses. Right now I am weaning off at 3 mg daily. You should taper very slow -
Can you get therapy through any community organization? I managed to get it through Islamic Services and they are paying $150 on my behalf every week. I used to wait for province appointed subsided therapy and after about a year later I got someone who had no idea how to help me. So not only is waiting time too long but you risk to get an inexperienced one.

I've had some burning sensation in my brain as well as my limbs. It would come and go but it was really unbearable. I am on a few medications and I don't know if it went away on its own or because of some meds. If it was any drug that helped it was probably suboxone. Don't give up. Have you done brain MRI?

Has anyone had and treated fears that turn into distress?
Zagor replied to Zagor's topic in DEPRESSION CENTRAL
I understand. But normal people have "normal" fears. They don't go into a distress mode whenever they hear scary news -
That's good. My biggest problem for the last 2 years which has actually made me feel much worse is my brother's suffering. It's so hard to watch him suffer and nothing is helping. Everyday stress since we are living together. I could move out but I can't leave him being so sick despite it's negative effects on me. And I wish I could make some friends in real life it would be real helpful when I feel OK but I don't even know where to make any. I did try online then I backed up because it seemed odd to me.

One of my huge problems is fears of unknown. I went through chronic distress because of covid. Now I fear the war potentially escalating. Huge fears of family tragedy. Fear one of those events might force me run out of my meds and go off cold turkey which would be horrible. That's why I avoid reading news and stuff even though I miss searching web and facebook. I know I am waaaaay more likely to die and suffer from a natural disease or something unrelated but the obsessing fears are too strong. If anyone had fears like I do and managed to control them please do tell how. Even a good book would be helpful or a good therapist but I just can't find anything. -
Benzos have caused me to feel worse. I was taking it for 15 years in high doses and now there is nothing to help me for withdrawal.

I disagree. Many people with full faith try everything and anything and if they are treatment resistant no help for them.

I have tried natural supplements such as nootropics. Many of them but nothing worked. Never tried Yoga , therapy nor anything like that mainly because I need something to stabilize me a bit. I was explained that TMS works different on 1 side of the brain like left side is for anxiety and right side for depression or vice versa but they are very hesitant to do the anxiety side unless I pay outof my pocket which I can't afford. I might try MAOIs and TMS (anyway) but vegus nerve can cause severe anxiety but they cut down on mental health care in my province. IDK what to say I truly despise psychiatrists or 99% of them but unfortunatelly I still need them even though I don't like nor trust them.

What has helped you if anything? My problem is firstly anxiety and I would literally rate it 12/10. They wanna send me for TMS but as they say to the side of the brain for depression not anxiety. I'd like some meds for extreme anxiety but don't know what to take. I feel im in distress mode 247
-
I also am lonely. I have no real life friends nor could I handle any right now. I talk to my family only. For me time goes crazy fast that literally scares me and I think that's in part because I'm so lonely and have the same routine. Sleep, laptop, sleep.

has anyone recovered from long term ed caused by antidepressants? My problem started 15 years ago. Never been off meds. I think I have chronic pelvic pain syndrome as well so I don't know how much that effects but I am just curious can you regain sexual health if you stop the meds after many years.
