4 weeks of “severe” withdrawals/update

Hey, hope you are all good! Im now 4 weeks into what I really think is severe withdrawals after a strep infection. That was 2 months after last dose reduction, but its been really hard! Had an appointment with a psychiatrist yesterday that was not sure about this being withdrawals symptoms because im at such a “high” dose and only reducing 1mg. He wanted to either up the dosage to 50mg(from 38) or taper off faster. He also prescribed propranolol and promethazine. These recommendations by him is just the most typical answer by almost any psychiatrist. Increase, taper faster or/and add more drugs. With my knowledge on ssri withdrawals through communities like this one, Dr anders sørensen and Mark horowitz, i know this is real what I feel. But I also wont put too much blame on a senior psychiatrist that learned and has grown into this very bad medical system that almost any country has. He does not know better or hes not willing to go out of his way to learn newer things, but thats usually because of how this medical system works. I’m also wondering if I could be experiencing akathisia. Its this internal dread/discomfort/surge of adrenaline burning sensations. Its always more earlier in the day but tends to lessen during evenings and nights. On top of that I have all the other severe symptoms. I do get windows, usually every other day or so, that lasts couple of hours. Thats usually from afternoon until next day or so. The feelings of a window feel like you will NEVER feel bad again or go in a wave again, but then BOOM!!
