Lexapro,Lithium,Lamictal,and Clonozopam Withdrawal

We go to the doctor to get help because we believe that they have our best interest at heart. What a bunch of crap! I have fired so many doctors over the years, because I thought they were crazier than me.

Everyone else just chalked it up to my disorders. That I was just manic or having a major mood swing that day. Well I have been researching the med's I'm on now and I think maybe it is the med's on top of the disorders that make me worse.

I have abruptly stopped taken them, because my dr. went on a month and a half vacation out of the country. His wonderful nurse told me that I was just gonna have to wait until he got back to get my med's filled because I haven't seen him in 3 months. Due to illness, which are probably med's related.

When I told her that I was having hot/cold flashes.My whole body was shaking, trembling and jerking like small seizures.I am dizzy all the time and see tracers when I move my head. I can't focus on anything or deal with anything stressful.

Did I mention I have 4 children that range from 16yrs. to 5yrs. No stress there!

I explained that I have no attention span.I am sick and nauseated with diarreah,stomache cramps, vomiting,and I am week in the knees when I stand for a very short time.

Her response was, you aren't having withdrawals it sounds like the flu. I told her I have had the flu a lot of times in my life and although some of my symptoms may sound like the flu, that I haven't ever felt like this when I had the flu.

She didn't want to help me simply because she is as ignorant to the medications as me or my doctor for that matter.

I have had to have my son do research on these med's for me,because I can't read or type for any period of time,it's to difficult. Anyway, needless to say he's as mad as me.

He has to help do everything around the house and help with the little ones all the time.

You see these medications that these doctors prescribe don't just effect us as an individual, but everyone that is around us as well.

I have been putting my family thru hell and most of the neighborhood too. But I'll be fine, says the nurse, it will be okay, it's just the flu.

I don't understand how they can get by with this crap, they shoud be more educated on these med's and know what they are talking about before they give their ignorant opinions, like I just have the flu.

I can't wait until my doctor gets back in the country, he is going to get his ears full

what gets me, is I have seen 3 different psychiatrist in the last year, not one of them bothered to tell me that any of this could happen.

Further more who's fault is it if I died from this. You better believe that they got their butts covered legally.

I do have pshychiatric problems and I know that I do need med's. But after going thru all this I am afraid to take anything. I need some advice and not from a pill pushin psychiatrist.

In addition to reading this unfortunate story of antidepressant withdrawal, it's also important to understand the underlying causes that would lead someone to such a painful place.

I almost feel guilty because my life has become so enjoyable and so easy. Especially since I remember how miserable I used to be.
