TaperCommunityHallo, my name is Marina and i am 69years old. My journey with antidepressive medication began in 1989. I was hospitalized with huge fear and panickatacks. I got anafranil. I was stable for about 25 years. The psy told me i had to take them for the rest of my life. In 2014 my husband died from cancer in 4 months time. Then one year later i met my new partner online and had a relaps because of all the stress i had with him and his family. Now we are fine. So my psy put me on 112,5mg efexor and 75mg trazodone. I stabelized again and started therapy in 2022. Then i tapered my efexor from 112,5mg to 62mg. I had withdrawel symptoms for about a month and stabelized again. Then i started to taper trazodone for about 2 years first 10% and later 2,5% till i was on 40mg. Then it wrnt wrong. Panic attacks an huge mussle pain. Now i am in the 8 month and have windows and waves. In month 7 i was in a window of a month. Then a wave for 5 to 7 days and again a window for a week. And now again in a wave. I always have the same tought that this is for the rest of my life. So i think i have protracted withdrawel.
Feel empty inside andafraid i wont stabelize
