”Heya just wanted to let you know I have good news ive noticed. Around 7 onward during the night I feel bassically normal. And since the anxiety and sleep issues began when I got back on the med I do think it's me readjusting to the med and it peaks during the day then finally calms later in the day. So I think it's the medicine rather than the withdrawl when It comes to my symptoms. ”

I’m really happy to hear this. Great news. Signs things are settling for you. If you have a not so good day, don’t worry. Windows and waves. But this is very positive indeed! 😀

Yeah so on the bright side the symptoms im getting and I should of specified this and I apologize the sleep issues and the sweating and heart racing really bad and super anxiety (I like to call it) began when I restarted the med so most likely my body is just super senstive right now and as I relax my body will start to not have as such bad reaction. My sleep is stitching and I've notice my brain fog Is very slowly patching together. Also I miscalculated its day 23 on 20mg

You just need time for your body to settle now. Thats the main thing.

I guess I'm just glad I figured it out for the most part and well im kinda more glad it's nkt withdrawls and rather the med itself and I guess I already knew that with how everything came together and how the symptoms showed up when I took the med and how it peaks during the day and fades I guess I dunno it's hard not to stop a serial of thw worst case ya know? If I keep this up with the windows abit in the morning and evening I think ill start feeling alot better than

Alright well I'll try to just relax and wait for the med to peak and my system and realizing it's doing that makes this more managable like I understand what's happening. Anyway take care for now

Ok GREAT NEWS so my sleep is sticking more and today was GREAT almost ZERO BRAIN ZAPS and I didn't cry ONCE today and despite feeling anxiety no panic attack and my brain fog feels very small now and I feel much better the only thing i still have is the slight leg humming when I lay down (which started from the whole pregablin ct then reinstated thingy) 

Very small muscle twitches in legs 

 

And muscle tension pains in my left side like my neck and arm but when I massage it it goes away and my left leg joint still a lil stiff but mentally I felt great! 

 

So only side effects today was 

- achy 

- tiny twitches

- things still feel heavy to pick up

- very very rare brain zaps

- small anxious 

 

Today WAS GREAT

Do not measure your recovery by comparing one day to the next.  Recovery takes months or longer and happens in very small steps.  The fact is you're having windows and that show you can recover.  Also, do not let your mind play the "what if" game.  You may get new symptoms, but then again you may not.  I may get hit by a bolt of iteming but that won't stop me from going on.  Stay focused on the present and accepting and dealing with where you are now.

Im sorry you are not having as good a day today. It’s really common for this to happen. Some days are good and some days not. Best to try to not worry too much about the bad days and remember the better days. Those better days and the worse days are waves and windows and strong signals that your system is working hard for you to rebalance everything. This can take some time. Much longer than we would like. 
 

Have a good look at the links we’ve linked you to. It’s worth starting to think about building up a coping skills toolbox to help on the not so good days.

sounds you aren't doing that bad if you had a great day.

Akathisia isn't something everybody gets, and isn't likely to happen if it didn't already.

Just because your body aches a bit, doesn't mean you will get akathisia, there are some health anxious people who think they will die just cause they have a headache, or stomaches, that's not reality.

You are catastrophizing. That's just anxiety.  You have to deal with the reality of your situation rationally and set aside all the fearful chatter in your head.
