My doctor told me to get off as many meds as possible to prepare for a possible spinal block proceedure to address pain medical issues at some future date. Statex, amitriptyline, mexiletine, citalopram stopped in the last few weeks. Prior to stopping I was taking Hydroxyquine for two weeeks and developed severe Vertigo. Prior to hydroxyquine I was taking Dantrium for two weeks and stopped due to side effects that left me bedridden with no balance. Doctor has been called but no response. I am very ill with withdrawals. Went on-line in desperation two nights ago and found info to not stop statex cold turkey. Pain, vertigo, flu symptoms, nightmares, insomnia, craving for foods but weight loss, isolation, sadness, feeling very ill. Nothing to use for pain so I am one big pain ball.
Can't communicate to anyone how desperate I am. I am afraid for myself. I am still taking my sleeping meds clonidine and zopiclone but they aren't working. Taking lots of detox vitamins A, B, Omega 3 and drinking green tea. When will all this end? When will I feel well again?
