In reply to unexplained nausea, posted by bob on October 6, 2001, at 13:57:27
Well, I now know that I didn't have a "virus". At least, I'm 99.9999999 percent sure. It was withdrawal effects from Clonazepam. I'm *EXTREMELY* sensitive to it. I was taking only 3/8 of a mg spread throughout the day in 1/8 increments along with my 75mg of Luvox at night. I began to get very tired at night, and extremely sedated in the morning -- so much so that I wasn't getting up before 12 or 1. I cut back to 2/8 and didn't notice much of a change for at least 3-4 days, so I cut down to 1/8. BOOM! I started getting nausea that would last a good portion of the day, along with dizziness and fatigue. Sure seemed like a virus to me. It was hard to eat without feeling bad. Then I started getting depressed and anxious. That made me wonder, so I went immediately back to a full .5mg spread throughout the day. I'm slowly stabilizing after 3 days. That was brutal. Now what the heck am I going to do??? I have too much sedation from the combo of Luvox and Clonazepam, but it seems like whatever change I make will be very painful indeed.
