It might be good to adjust the dose every few days till they are even and if you feel worse, hold.
For example:
Day 1 to day 4-11.5 mg morning-7.25 mg evening
Day 5 to day 8-10.5 mg morning-8.25 mg evening
Day 9 to day 12-9.5 mg morning-9.25 mg evening (you might want to updose to 9.5 mg just to keep it simple-same dose both times)
You can do this slower if you feel any symptoms.
Please let us know how you are doing and if this brings some relief. ❤️🙏

i ended up updosing to 25mg. 12.5 two times a day and hold.

1997- Zoloft 200mg, Xanax .25mg
2006 - Changed Xanax for tranxene 7.5mg
2016 - tranxene to klonopin and Zoloft to Effexor 225mg.
2023 Effexor 150mg, klonopin .25 3 times a day and Seroquel 25mg 2 td. Tapered too fast Seroquel Jan. 2025. Hell .
2025, January 5- 12.50mg morning 12.50mg evening
2025, February 2 - 12.50mg morning 12.50mg evening
2025, February 23 - 12.50mg morning 12.50mg evening
2025, February 27 - 12.50mg morning 6.25mg evening
2025, March 5 - 12.50 morning 6.25mg evening
June, July, August, HOLD September 3.12mg evening but reinstated to 6.25mg. HOLD
Current: Zoloft 200mg, klonopin .50mg, Seroquel 18.75mg (12.50mg morning-6.25mg evening)

@Julvaz74 How are you today? I am really sorry to see you are suffering so much still.
I agree with LIC, getting your dose split evenly seems like a good idea. Seroquels half life is VERY short. I think what I would do is actually dose 3 times a day. I would split you AM dose in half, and move it 1 hour at a time till it is at midday.
Are you splitting Klonopin at the moment? It should be dosed twice a day.
Chippy

Klonopin i take it .50 mg 3 times daily. Not touching that one.

I was feeling better but this week just got worse. Scared. The thoughts and catastrophizing came back. Anxiety and depression got worse. Brain fog, everything is triggering anxiety. Crying again. I feel lots of shame and guilt. Just don’t know what to do. Maybe is a wave. I am SCARED. 😭🥺

It sure sounds like a wave.....it is hard to believe but waves mean healing. 💯

So sorry you are suffering.

Did you move your doses? Could you update your signature so we know what doses and times you are taking them with the start date? Thanks so much.

Sorry to hear. Try to remember that anxiety can’t hurt you….it is your body making too much adrenaline because it thinks you aren’t safe. Keep telling yourself out loud that you are safe, that you will be okay. Try to distract by reading, playing games, etc.

Maybe something in this section can help:

Dear @Julvaz74 you are not a loser. You are a surviving dealing with something most people can never even imagine. You have been harmed by a profession that should be helping you.

Give yourself time to stabilize. Your body wants homeostasis…give it time.

If your family member had cancer, would you consider them a disappointment? Of course not. This is no different and in many ways harder because what we are dealing with isn’t recognized and we don’t have a medical team helping us.

What dose of klonopin are you taking daily? Are you taking it 3 times a day? Do you think you are in poop out? When was the last time you lowered the dose of it? Are you still taking 200 mg of Zoloft? Why did you decided to taper seroquel first?

Wd have terrible effect on your mindset, negativity, defeatism it's all an integral part of the cleansing process that will regulate over time.

just keep surviving with distractions as much as you can @Julvaz74 it will change, the positivity will return as well the desire for life, you'll see yourself and act totally different.

hang in there, it will happen.

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)

Today i feel that there is no future for me. How do i start over? Almost my whole life taking AD, anxiolytics, etc. Feel like a loser and that i have disappointed everyone. I can't even get out of the house. Don't know what to do.

I think most or many of us have struggled with similar thoughts in withdrawal.

Many people who struggled with these thoughts then went on to recover and lead good lives too.

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.

Dear @Julvaz74 you are not a loser. You are a surviving dealing with something most people can never even imagine. You have been harmed by a profession that should be helping you.
Give yourself time to stabilize. Your body wants homeostasis…give it time.
If your family member had cancer, would you consider them a disappointment? Of course not. This is no different and in many ways harder because what we are dealing with isn’t recognized and we don’t have a medical team helping us.
What dose of klonopin are you taking daily? Are you taking it 3 times a day? Do you think you are in poop out? When was the last time you lowered the dose of it? Are you still taking 200 mg of Zoloft? Why did you decided to taper seroquel first?

I take .50mg 3 times daily and never have lowered it. 200mg Zoloft. 100mg 2 times a day. Seroquel was making me sleep too much and because of side effects. Don’t know if I am in poop out. I did change Effexor for Zoloft in a day and started cutting Seroquel the same day. That was January 2025. I think that is the detail that messed me up. Too much and many changes.

1997- Zoloft 200mg, Xanax .25mg
2006 - Changed Xanax for tranxene 7.5mg
2016 - tranxene to klonopin and Zoloft to Effexor 225mg.

Sounds like that could be the problem. I think a nice long hold can only help. I hate what these drugs do to us. Sending hugs. ❤️🙏

It really will get better...try to distract, try to accept that you are healing. Your body is working hard. It knows what to do. Make your environment one that promotes healing. No expectations, no commitments, no responsibility...just heal. ❤️🙏

Sending some love @Julvaz74 hang in there. This is a tough experience but things do get better, time is our friend the body wants stability its always striving for it. 😀

Have you read our post on acceptance? Not sure if we linked it to you before. It can really help during the rough times.

Acceptance is key - Why does acceptance feel impossible?

I am exactly the same way…so sensitive…it is neuroemotions.

Everyday write out 3-5 things that you did. This is part of cbt called ‘good for you’

Good for you…you showered today.

Good for you …. you went for a walk.

Good for you….you made a meal.

No matter how small of an accomplishment, in withdrawal it is huge. Celebrate these victories. Only someone going through this insanity can understand the struggle.

You are surviving, one day we will be thriving. ❤️🙏

Have you read Claire Weekes book Hope and Help for your nerves.

Are you trying to distract through reading, walking, games on your phone? It is important not to accept these feelings and thoughts as facts.
