just me again... updating the withdrawal symptoms i'm having... it is day 6 since i stopped aropax altogether and i'm still totally light headed and dizzy, the vivid dreams are continuing, emotions still running a bit haywire, and i'm still pretty tired... but the good news is i'm eating fairly normally and not hugging the toilet bowl shortly after each meal!
i have found that "getting on with things" when i am feeling up to it is really helping me... i have tried to continue with most of my day-to-day interactions (including attempting the 3 massive uni assignments i have due in the next week!) and i find when i'm "putting on the brave face" even if my head is spinning, i tend to feel more "human". i know this may only work for some, but i thought i would share my personal experiences. however, i have also have moments curled up in bed wanting this "sea sickness/buzzy head feeling" to go away!
this probably also sounds weird, but i can fully recommend to anyone who is an "animal" person, to find yourself some company in the canine world! while my emotions have been up-and-down over the past week, my parents' dogs (two toy poodles) have been the best remedy if i want to relax (they LOVE to cuddle), go for a walk (when the head isn't feeling so woozy), or just sit out in the sun and watch them play... sounds pathetic, but i am trying to get over this stupid drug without further medical interaction. i'm trying to look at the "little" things in life and focus on them when i feel the emotional rollercoaster kick in...
best wishes to anyone else going through this craziness! stick with it... i'm determined to beat this in the cold turkey sense, so i'll keep you updated as to when different symptoms start to fade...
*hugs*
