Steve, thank you so much for your support. I am thinking about stopping escitaploram. Yes, I was sad and negative. But now I am completely demotivated..there are also nights, more and more often when I dont sleep at all. Sleeping used to be one of my coping strategies...my life seems to be more difficult at present.
I only need to think my strategy. I think it will be easier to stop now, I have been only two months on it, and only two weeks on higher dose...
Additionally, I have had severe stomach cramps and severe nausea...also joint pain...
I feel I am less in control of my emotions, anxiety comes out of sudden, e.g. because I have to wait longer, get a train, drive my car, etc. Apart from paresthesia, which I read is quite normal on it, I have had severe sweating, etc. I cannot even think what the interview panel will think of me seeing sweat on my face...
I had stomach ulcers in the past and many other health problems, such as migraines...so it is not worth to get these conditions worse...
I have my doxepin, it should help with withdrawal...
