Amygdala: Seriously afraid to come off ADs, Z drug, and Benzo
Amygdala posted a topic in Introductions and updates
Hello everyone I'm glad I found this site even if I am unable to stop using my meds due to illness and seizures. I still need all the information I can get. I have COPD and a seizure disorder both of which greatly complicate trying to stop any of my meds. I am afraid that I will suffer a seizure and stop breathing and possibly die if I suffer any serious withdrawal effects. That is why I took so long reducing my Zopiclone (1 year taper) and Trazodone (8 month taper) and I cannot bring myself to even consider stopping them. Trazodone should be relatively easy to stop but I have found this not to be true in my case. When I tried to cut the dosage lower I started to feel very sick and I could also feel a seizure coming on, so I quickly went back up 50 mg from 12.5. But at least I am stable at the reduced dosage (150mg down to 50mg). I cannot even imagine cutting down on Cymbalta without it causing serious health issues. I will be getting a CT in 3 weeks to check for brian damage from using theses meds and these results will change how I go about any of this. I know I didn't cover everything here but sometimes my brain does not work well and I can't think properly. So what things do I need to know or tell you about to discuss my issues? Amygdala
