Medication trial, withdrawal experience

NewHorizon5544 July 2nd

Hi all,

I have recently tried two medicines that weren't the right fit, and have been referred to a different doctor and in the meanwhile am not on any medication. While I was weaned off of the medicine, I am experiencing withdrawal and I was wondering if anyone who has had a similar experience could share any tips with getting through withdrawal symptoms and maybe coping skills that help?


There are things I do that help, but I am curious if anyone has anything different than what I do/try. 

The symptoms are lessening, however I feel not like myself and sometimes get a sudden wave of an out of body feeling or sudden panic, anger, sadness, etc.


I am glad that is is getting better, and so many things such as prayer, my faith in Jesus Christ, family and friends do help. 

I don't know anyone who has had an experience like mine to talk about the withdrawal process about, and I value hearing the experiences of others. 

Fyi- these medications were meant to treat anxiety, depression, panic disorder, complex PTSD.


I've tried 3 medications and have had sensitivities to them. My doctor had me take an genetic test called Genesight, which examines liver enzymes and how they process medicine. My results showed a fair amount of medicines that may have too high of a serum level or genetic interactions with the medication. I am not giving up on my mental health improving and I know this season will pass and that God has already made a way for me. 


Thank you for reading, God bless you!
