Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Kim, i know what you mean. I am 36...almost 37 and feel like i am 50 years old!! i went cold turkey on the effexor!! I was sick for about 2 weeks or so...the first 3 days were awful!! I can't find a natural health doctor over here...i thought i found two and they moved to another city. they have some coverage on our insurance but the state that I live in doesn't have that discount for some reason....i am in a brain fog also...fatigue and on and on also...currently going thru a situation! i am trying to eat no dairy or hardly any sugar and cut down on meat...eating protein thru almond butter, eggs, flax seeds or flax seed oil. i made the friendly bacteria cabbabe juice ..it is supposed to take the place of acidopholis and it IS much cheaper!! It has to sit in your pantry or closet for 3 days....so, I can't drink any till friday evening before I go to bed..... How are you feeling?? Have you ever cleansed? I am fairly new to alot of stuff so other members can help you more than I can... Love SusanKimberly Smith <k_frog100 wrote: Glenn, How odd! Now I am starting to think most of my "ickyness" and problems may be stemming from being on Paxil for a few years (thanks to my ex husband). I got tired of taking it and the side effects, and when I couldn't afford to see the psyc any more, I had to either keep going to the doctor to beg for a refill or deal with the severe withdrawals I had coming off cold turkey. I did a lot of research, and decided I HAD to get off of it, but had to wean myself off very slowly to keep from getting terribly ill. But still, 3 years later, I have a lot of trouble with brain fog, short term and long term memory, bloated feeling (although I could lose some weight), stiff joints, back trouble (could be from several horse accidents over the years), hot flashes, fatigue, depressed immune system, frequent UTIs and yeast infections, and the list goes on. I had thought about maybe Candida, too. I don't trust our doctors, and can't afford any Natural Health doctors, so haven't gone in to talk to them much about my symptoms. I did once, especially since my hands kept going numb or at least would have a lot of tingling sensations going on, and if not numb, they often feel stiff and sore. She tried to tell me that it was possibly because I don't breathe right at night when I sleep, since my CO2 levels were high, and tried to put me on another inhaled steroid. I ended up not being able to sleep at all! And the hands didn't get any better. At that point, I had had it with non-organic lifestyles, synthetic drugs and doctors. But I need to figure out what I can do to help my poor body get right again. I am only 33, but I feel like I am 70! Still going, but sure takes some effort. I do feel better when I don't eat as much meat, drink a lot more water and tea than I usually do, and eat more greens, but I would be intrigued to hear anyone else's input on the SSRI subject. Kim S.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Ooooh, I LOVE flax seed oil -- I think it's delicious !! But if you don't like it, I would recommend following it up with a little of your favorite juice, swished around the mouth. Maybe a little lemon juice would cut through the flavor for you !
