Why I am coming off my antidepressants (Lexapro / Escitalopram)
Просмотров 3988 месяцев назад
I started out on citalopram a.k.a. Celexa a few years ago. A little over a year and a few months ago it stopped working so I switched over to escitalopram a.k.a. Lexapro, which has worked really well for me. But now I am ready to try coming off of them! And here’s why….

    It can cause restless legs. I know how terrible feeling is that. Like I'm so tired and want to sleep and my legs don't want to. Use gabapentin or pregabalin! It should help and in low doses it's pretty safe.

    Im not trying to hate but 11:13 is why women should be encouraged to protect themselves. Were physically different than men and have different responsibilities. Women should be encouraged wait until marriage to have sex for their own protection. No contraception works 100% of the time even when it is being used

    You’re video really helped me look at it from a different perspective thank you for sharing such a personal experience. I currently had an abortion because I wasn’t mentally ready considering I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety it was something I didn’t want to continue with and I knew it was the best choice for me, we’ve had safe sex and I never would’ve thought I’d get pregnant or even be in this situation. I’m currently struggling not because I regret making the best choice for me but because I feel so alone like I’m the only one going through it, I have no one to turn to and open up because i know I will be judged or hated for what I chose to do so I feel lonely, scared and depressed. After watching this it gave me a bit of ease knowing I am not alone.

    I went on citalopram for anxiety. I am now coming off citalopram and it's a nightmare I would not recommend anyone take this drug I do think that you should listen to your physician but I think anyone who prescribes this should be a psychiatrist I do not think a PCP should be prescribing these drugs. Withdrawal is severe off of citalopram do not let anybody tell you any different you can Read All about it All over RUclips also people with these experiences and I know quite a few people who absolutely couldn't come off of it. I am a healthcare professional myself but I was not aware this drug carries such a dependency in your body. They don't want to call it addiction so they call it dependency. 40 mg is the highest dose of citalopram. I took 20 mg. If you satisfied and you want to be on a drug your entire life then that is your decision I prefer to handle my anxiety and depression with holistic means.

    • @krzysztof4543
      @krzysztof4543 Месяц назад

      St. John's wort I used to take, it did not harm me. But the most important thing is to think, when I was on vacation i was relaxed there were no anxieties. SSRIs ruined me, everything collapses when you stop taking them, in my case they dilated my stomach and caused bipolarity and zombie mode If I hadn't taken them I would have lived a long and sometimes happy life.

    • @al-oh8fq

      @krzysztof4543 Try 5HTP and tyrosine. 5HTP is fuel for making serotonin. Body uses tyrosine to make dopamine. Both are simple food supplements. Also you can try vitamins+minerals pills. but pay close attention, if your body does not like it, cut the pill in half and take it that way.

I go weekly and have worked through a LOT of past trauma I didn’t even realize I had. It’s been helpful to better understand the WHY behind my anxiety. And also having friends that deal with similar kinds of anxiety really helps me feel validated and understood. Best of luck!! You’ve got this ❤❤❤❤

    I’m sorry for the pain you went through and that you were so isolated in the process. Abortion is traumatic no matter what by its very nature, because it is eliminating an innocent life inside the mother. I don’t agree with your final conclusion of thinking abortion was necessary. I think in such situations it’s very difficult to think otherwise, so I understand why you made it. The truth is, none of us can judge because we are all sinners; none of us are righteous in our own merits before a holy God. However, the good news is not that we become worthy on our own, but that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. We can try to minimize our sins and our need for a Savior, but that will only isolate us from God further. True freedom comes only when we come to God in genuine repentance for our sins and our hardened heart; His miracle is that he gives us a new spirit and a new heart.

    I have been on citalopram for years. Tried many times to reduce the dosage from 20 to 10 mg. It usually works for a few months, but once there's a trigger for anxiety, I immediately relapse and start feeling super anxious, fearful and hopeless again. Last episode was about 2 to 3 weeks ago, I went back to 20mg immediately and is still not back to normal yet. 😢

    On 10mg week 3 now, no side effects and really feeling good and it's not placebo. Ohly thing is appetite has gone down. Normally fast but trying to eat something daily now while taking this meds. Put this off for long as my son is on SNRI been through the lot with him. My nervous system completely calmed down after trying everything myself first, I was stuck in fight or flight each day all day. I feel the difference. I can breathe again. Watching withdrawel videos is a bit daunting but this trumps over that. Everyone reacts different so glad I'm ok on this and yes also sleep better at night. Had 2 alnighters but that's it, always been a night owl, but I'm out otherwise at 8/9pm.

    Good luck Jacqueline it sounds like your definitely in the best place possible to come off ! I personally think you should do a slower taper. I think your doctors plan is way too fast and might be a set up for failure. Even though your in a good head space and have done all the necessary tool building exercises your brain will still need time to adjust . Please ask your doctor to taper slowly off like at least a few months. Anyhow I wish you all the best and look forward to your updates!
