    @Ryder because I'm in protracted withdrawal I spend most of the day in bed, sometimes listening to music.  I do feed my cat, do household chores and go out when necessary, or for a short walk.  But I'

I’m too ill and maimed to file complaints or do anything. My psychologist is filing a complaint against him. I had used a few swear words over email after a lot of negligence and errors by my GP and his reception team as this was causing me stress and akathisia, so the therapeutic relationship has “broken down” according to him - he gave 30 days notice as per guidelines. He’s aware I had already applied for MAID due to several conditions and had an assessment too. So far I have someone who will temporarily fill my prescriptions. I just have to lay down. My brain is dead and I can’t even handle walking to the bathroom.

I am so sorry you are suffering so much @Lost Penguin my heart aches for you, for all of us who are experiencing this horror.

please keep hope for better days, there's an end to this hell, it must, nothing stays the same.

hoping and praying for your relief.

1998 forced on cipramil *no anxiety/depression background*

Over the years all kinds of SSRI/SNRI/antipsychotics/stabilizers due to apparently side effects/withdrawal

Many attempts to quit over the years with failure (extremely rapid taper followed by doctors' guidens)

Current attempt-Paxil 20 mg:

6/24 20 mg to 5 mg-severe AKA

9/24 Increase to 20-AKA continues

10/24 stopped completely-AKA out of control 

11/24 Zoloft bridge attempt-25 mg to 75 mg+Seroquel-AKA continued-stopped them CT.

12/24 Back on Paxil 10mg (0.1789g)-some stabilization-from here tapered by about 30% each time (don't remember doses and dates).

2025 - 7.10 0.0558g (3.11mg)/7.11 3% 0.0541g (3.02mg)/4.12 1% 0.0535g (2.98mg)

2026 - 3.1 1.5% 0.0526g (2.93mg)/9.1 8.5% 0.0480g (2.68mg)/16.2 1.8% 0.0470g (2.62mg)/21.3 1% 0.466 (2.60mg)/23.4 2.2% 0.455g (2.54mg)/8.7 21.7% 0.0356.5g (2mg)/15.8 updose by 11.7% 0.0400g (2.23mg)

Supplements:

Magnesium Glycinate - started 28.5.26 1 capsule 200mg in the morning - Increased brain fog and muscle stiffness - stopped after two weeks.

Iron - liquid, quarter of recommended dose - increased anxiety and burning sensation - stopped after two weeks.

Saffron - started 8.7.26 1 capsule 30mg in the morning - pretty immediate improvement in terms of terror, body pain and sleep.

@Lost Penguin Im so sorry for the terrible time you are going through! I can't believe what you guys have to deal with in Canada, it simply isn't fair, when people are vulnerable and hurting the system should do everything it can to support and not inflict further harm and stress. xxxx

@LostinCanada ❤️❤️❤️ Praying for you too.

Rant - My psychologist is filing a complaint because my doctor broke about 10 rules - I have about 10 vulnerabilities, expressed extreme suicidal distress and he’s done the whole patient abandonment with no continuity of care. No consideration of my low-income housing, multiple pain conditions, disability and medical fragility. No attempt to repair the sudden therapeutic rupture when I went into crisis due to behaviour by him and his staff. He gave me a 3-day deadline to respond to him about disability before he told them I “did not consent to release of information” but I was too in shock to reply and cannot talk to him now. He refused refills, Telus my health refused refill on the zopiclone as did the pharmacy. My doctor just put me at risk of S and homelessness after an 8 year good relationship with him. I’m completely alone with no family. Can’t even take my garbage out.

Luckily a chronic fatigue specialist will see me urgently within the next few weeks and will likely prescribe my refills and help with disability. My psychologist was absolutely horrified and is doing every she can to advocate for me with the disability insurer. Thank goodness for my psychologist.

Telus my health refused refill on the zopiclone

We're they okay on the other drugs...do they just give a one month or 3 months refill?

I have been spoiled with I year prescriptions and 3 month refills. I messaged Monica Mina and she told me she isn't taking anyone...I hoped to get on a list but no. I have put my name on the health registry. I also applied to a dr who is taking patients...I was told if they are willing to take me I will hear from them, otherwise I won't hear. What a joke...doctors get to pick and choose.

Guess time will tell how I manage to get my poison.

Hey @LostinCanada thanks for checking in. I’m pretty terrible. My GP misled the insurance company and claimed I had “asked him not to contact me” omitting that he had fired me abruptly. He has college complaints now. Disability bullied me and threatened cut off but my psychologist advocated for me and they gave me a 3 month extension to find a new GP which is impossible. And a new GP would not prescribe this concoction of drugs anyway or believe my situation. The ME specialist wouldn’t refill either when I described the situation, even though she believed me.

My maid assessor will refill them for now. But if I’m not approved for maid I won’t get refills. Telus Mycare doesn’t refill zopiclone or clomipramine suspension. The situation feels dire. Life was already unbearable with a rare medical condition which is one of the main reasons I’m getting assessed. Sorry for the depressing update 😥

Was on clomipramine for 8 years

April to July 2024(?dates) clomipramine 150 mg-> 125->100-> 50-> 25-> 0->20->10->0

I'm sorry to hear all of this.

Stress is absolutely terrible when you have ME. I really hope that you can get to a point where life is at least somewhat stable soon.

Nothing I say is medical advice, it is simply my opinion. I am an anonymous person on an internet forum with no relevant qualifications other than being badly harmed by a drug. For all you know, I could be an idiot. You are making your own decisions and part of that is deciding how much to listen to my opinion, if at all.

 

Perhaps you should consider this post an artistic work of fiction written for entertainment purposes.


Story from SA: LukeUK: Remeron/Mirtazapine Severe Withdrawal - Introductions and updates - Surviving Antidepressants

Have you called 811 and explained your situation to a nurse thoroughly. They might be able to help in some way. They are responsible for finding you an urgent care dr. Maybe the dr would be willing to do a virtual visit if you mentioned they could speak to your psychologist. Also they might have a solution regarding disability etc

I am no further ahead myself but I have a year's prescription.....

@LostinCanada yeah I’ve done everything. Luckily the maid team said they will find me a GP.

That’s total BS that you couldn’t find anybody to refill!!! So much for Telus.

I meant I haven't found a doctor yet...I haven't tried Telus other than registering. We had a new dr in a nearby clinic asking for patients....we filled out the forms and were told if the doctor wanted to take us on they would contact us in 2 weeks....well I guess we failed cause no one called... It's absolutely unethical that a dr goes through "applications" and only takes you if you are worthy enough...such a joke.

Medicine we know is just big business.
