In reply to Does it get better?, posted by Finchi on July 21, 2004, at 12:38:44
> If things get better... I have been off for 2 month now.. While weaning off I had extreme moods and everything everyone else has written about but nothing so extreme that I felt like I had to go back on until this past week.
>
> I start the day out fine but by lunch time I just want to cry at anything.... Its a joke with my boyfriend that going to the salad place and not getting the right salad can bring me to tears.
>
> Has anyone here been off them for more than 7 weeks and still feel wacked out. The side effects of the drugs you get while on them are gone but my moods are crazy... Prior to going on the drugs I was never this extreme with my moods and was never one to cry very often... I had experience some anxiety in the past under extreme stress but I get these anxiety attacks, want to cry and having hard time focusing... Has the drugs totally screwed up my chemical make up?
>
> I dont want to go back on anything but I also wondering if this is what happens when you go off the drugs. I have an appt with my Dr next week but I dont really know if he has any answers except putting me on some other drug.
>
> Has anyone heard how long you can feel wacked out after going off? I am not in a position in life where I can hide and lately, general interaction with people can bring me to tears for no reason.
>
> I am headng on vacation tomorrow so hopefully a week of some sun, good friends and relaxing will help but advice from you all would be greatly aprreciated.
