MonadoArts7827 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I can't seem to find anybody who shares the exact same symptoms as me. Similar maybe, but not exactly the same as mine. Not to mention apparently there ARE people who have never recovered say from SSRIs and the what not. Idk. I can't seem to really find people who have reacted the way I have from Adderall, yet alone still have symptoms 2 years later even after a year and a half of taking a relatively low dose. I know it's very similar to methamphetamine and according to almost all the studies I've read almost everyone has fully recovered but eh. I just don't know anymore. I'm starting to get the feeling that I should just accept the fact that it's very possible that I may be this way for the rest of my life........

MonadoArts7827 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 *points to signature* Been having these abnormal sensations for a little longer than 2 years now. It feels like a giant bubble is in the back of my head. I thought it was a serious brain tumor or something but I got both a CT Scan and MRI and both came back normal.

rowinghippy Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 If it makes you feel slightly better, I often can "feel" my hypothalamus (or dead center) of my brain, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by a "bubble" but I feel a lot of pressure there randomly. As for other symptoms not many seem to face. I've gain 40 pounds so far in withdrawal, which I personally haven't read of happening often. Also I have the unique symptom of literally never feeling satiated. For the 7 months of tapering/withdrawal so far I haven't slept more than 5-6 hours because my brain wakes me up starving, even though my appetite is nonexistent. I hear you though. I'm getting really depressed and hopeless too. I know there are recovery stories, but enough digging around here shows a fair amount of people who seem to be stuck. 4/24/16: 20 mg citalopram 8/1/16: 15 mg 8/22/16: 10 mg 9/16/16: reinstated to 12 mg 12/1/16: 11 mg 2/20/17: 10 mg 11/20/17: CT, med free 1/18/18: began regimen (keto, synthroid, supps, etc.) 11/21/18: off keto, lowered synthroid, began exercise 2/07/19: off synthroid/all supps 4/15/19: began tirosint (clean version of synthroid, with less side effects) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
