2006 Rx'd Cymbalta for approx 1 yr. WD after 4 mos - didn't realize was WD,took Zoloft and Klonopin; tapered K. Spring 2012 experienced major WD symptoms while tapering Zoloft; tried to updose but no relief, back on K 1 mg. Switched over 5-6 mos from Zoloft to Citalopram. Finished Zoloft 1/13; now on Citalopram 35 mg and 1 mg Klonopin. Started to experience withdrawal symptoms from switch (?) approx. 3 months after finished Zoloft (4/13). Now at 35 mg and hoping to start slow taper

Everyone's biochemistry is different, which is my guess. Here's to hoping the relaxation returns.
8 weeks on Zoloft in total, including my 4 week taper, ending on May 20th, 2013. Still going through emotional and partially physical hell.

Just a couple of notes. I too find my anxiety gets worse as the day goes on, then around 5 or 6 it usually begins to subside. Also, like you, I have to do two things simultaniously to control my brain. Can't carry on a conversation really because my brain just keeps chugging on about my own sh*t and I lose track of what was said. I often play solitare on the computer while I try to listen or watch TV. A few months ago I was able to relax and listen to meditations during the afternoon but now when I close my eyes the anxiety just ramps up. I don't know what any of this means but it seems to be a pattern.
Glad you have had a bit of relief. I honestly can't imagine how you are able to go out and socialize feeling like you do. You really are a very strong woman. There is no way I could even enter a pub or restaurant at this point.
10;mg PAXIL 12 YEARS
C/T June 2012
this brain fog, dr/dp and vertigo is awful and the bad anxiety is back
well its good to know im not alone mona, and that Im not the only one who gets worse all day, not that I want you to suffer, of course.
Im not strong, well, in one way we are all so strong, we havent killed ourselves so we try to survive each day, going out etc is hard and bad, but I have no choice, and now it looks like I have to do more housework and stuff even though its so hard, my husband has no idea, even though I tell him, he just tells me I just sit on my azz all day and do f*** all, but thats not true, its not true, I try so so hard.
Im scared of waking up again tomorrow

before reinstatement, my free floating anxiety always started at 5 or 6 am and got much better after 3pm, and it would be mostly gone after 6pm... since reinstatement, that pattern is no longer there.. it can start anytime even at 9 pm and last all night and day... withdrawal is so unpredictable :(
