Its been nearly 12 mnths now since i stopped remeron dead in its tracks after taking it for 2 years (had to stop for reasons) i have been med free since (can not get on with meds)
i am still suffering from depression, tiredness, the odd brain zap, brain tingles, feels like something is crawling inside my body, losing touch with reality quite alot, dream not all there most of the time, (thats wat i panick about), feels like my br ain is trying to switch of and my body isnt !
doctors say its all anxiety ?
physcologist says its damage from the past drugs/meds and i am getting back to normal ?
Freinds and research say my brain cells will renew them selves and this sounds like ms?
i am 24 yr old female and yes i am overweight by about 90 pounds but i find it hard to lose it!!
anyone know what this could be? any experience with this? it scares me to think this will be like this for the rest of my life!! i cant even go outside by myself now at all !!
thanks
Donna xx

I've been off them 3 1/2 months, and I STILL get brain zaps **all the time**.
Brain zaps are *NOT* (nor have ever been) a symptom of anxiety.
These doctors must take classes on covering up, excusing, and glossing over all the collateral damage done by the meds.

> LinkadgeHi Link,
I couldn't have put it better myself, its never the meds when they perscribe them to you is it?, its you, or they find a way to come up with reasons as to why their drug babies arn't helping, such as YOU being non-compliant with their treatment, other 'things YOU are taking or doing which negates the treatment success of THEIR drug baby treatments.
Cheers dude

I dont get the zaps as bad as i did...
i mean since stopping the remeron i had hallucinations at first i went into deep depression, and now i get like my brain is trying to switch off which ive been told my physcologist and doctors its anxiety ?
i do get the odd zap !! little tingle when i take in new imformation, concentrate on certain things etc.. any idea y?
when i think happy i am ok.... its all the neg thoughts and my mind racing about whats wrong with my mind is when i ose touch with reality and i am in a dream like state..
is this because of my withdrawl and i got so used to these feelings i dwell on them and thats why i am like this now? is cbt doing me any good even though i cant seem to stick to it as my head wont allow possitive thoughts... ?
this is really hard, as the littlest things get me, i cant get a word right, i have to question if i said it right, spelt it right etc.. its well weird as if im sleeping...

Just read an article in one of the women's magazines. They say that men manufacture 52% more serotonin than women do. They also say that post-partum, perimenopause, menopause are the peak years for depression. And of course major life changes. Beleive it or not they also mentioned MAOI's and TCA's. But they also said there are NO WITHDRAWAL effects from AD's. Also said take up to 9months or depression may return. Interesting. Fondly, Phillipa

Thats the dumb thing. You can tell the people who are lying when they say no withdrawl. I can't believe that some people are still trying to hold that idea. Withdrawl totally exists.
I would say that men, on average produce more serotonin, but there are always exceptions to the rule.

Do u think it will ever end? the withdrawl i mean? it has been nearly a yr now..
do u think its cus i got so used to feeling like this and dwell on it etc and cnt get a positive thought in my head is why i am like this? or is my brain really fryed? if i change the thought process surely that will produce the good chemicals?

I don't know how it all works. I think drugs rewire your brain.
