You're welcome! I'm glad your doctor is supportive. What additional meds are they giving you? It's good to keep things as simple as possible, and sometimes adding other drugs to the mix can complicate things. It's just something to be aware of. Keep us posted on how things are going for you. 💝

She added some Aterax 25mg to ease off the jitters and sweating.

You're welcome! I'm so glad you're part of this community. I'm sorry for your struggles. You always have the option of doing a slight updose to relieve your symptoms. It might be preferable to adding another drug. Do you feel like the Atarax is helping?

Nice to meet you, @HannaPot (even if it isn't exactly under the best of circumstances!) Sending you lots of strength and wishing you the best of luck on your journey. 🫂

Withdrawal is not a preview of who you are without the drug.

"No I dont think it is not doing anything, but a dry mouth" — @HannaPot

That is one of the side effects:

If you don't feel like it's doing anything, it might be best to just let time do it's healing. Adding another drug just gives your body and brain something else to have to deal with. Just a suggestion.
