Phil Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi bronxboy, Sam-e can indeed affect you during w/d. It can cause anxiety. I took it once, a very tiny amount, and although I felt ok on the day I took it, the days after I felt very anxious and irritable. Hope you feel better soon - give it time for your body to rebalance itself. Off Lexapro since 3rd November 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healing Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well, bronxboy. Life stresses feel so much worse when we're in w/d. It slowly gets better. Sending you good energy. 1996-97 - Paxil x 9 months, tapered, suffered 8 months withdrawal but didn't know it was withdrawal, so... 1998-2001 - Zoloft, tapered, again unwittingly went into withdrawal, so... 2002-03 - Paxil x 20 months, developed severe headaches, so... Sep 03 - May 05 - Paxil taper took 20 months, severe physical, moderate psychological symptoms Sep 03 - Jun 05 - took Prozac to help with Paxil taper - not recommended Jul 05 to date - post-taper, severe psychological, moderate physical symptoms, improving very slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Healing Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It's natural to want to try supplements to get relief. You're learning that, generally speaking, we have to be cautious about what we take in w/d -- start with a tiny dose, try one new thing at a time, stay away from very serotonergic things. But, even then, it's still a process of experimentation. People in w/d vary a lot, ranging from those who really cannot tolerate any supplement to those who seem to benefit from some. And it takes some experimentation to discover what's true for you. Also, your sensitivities to supplements will probably lessen as time goes by, and more things will become an option for you. Keep the faith, bronxboy! This is a rough journey at times, but you will definitely get better and better! 1996-97 - Paxil x 9 months, tapered, suffered 8 months withdrawal but didn't know it was withdrawal, so... 1998-2001 - Zoloft, tapered, again unwittingly went into withdrawal, so... 2002-03 - Paxil x 20 months, developed severe headaches, so...
