I am having insomnia and getting brain zaps due to anti depressant given to me by a doctor , I sleep just 2 hours at night , and whenever I try to nap in the afternoon, it’s as if my brain is stopping me from that

I really don’t know what to do at this moment , as I am scared of going to the hospital

I would really love to

I see dark forces around you trying to make you run mad, I see an angel of God standing very close to you to help you, but your sins are making it impossible for him to do anything, I see the mercy of God extended to you, I see you getting back in your feet.

This I have seen.

Don't stop antidepressants just like that
The doses have to be tapered off by your doctor before you stop
Go and see the doctor that placed you on it and tell him/ her of your symptoms.
Don't heed any advice anyone gives you here besides this

..

Till now still battling with insomnia

Great topic to be discussed

You will overcome

Trust in the Lord

Which one were you given?

Don't be scared of going to the hospital , it's better to see a doctor than self help.
God's got you..

So sorry about that. I pray you find strength and will power to pull through.

Go back to the hospital ASAP

Just as the other person mentioned above, don't stop using them instantly. Tamper off little by little until your body system no longer depends on them. The best remedy so far, for now. Even drug addicts use same method to help them recorver.

Op you better

I don’t know what the sickness or disorder is all about so I’d just sit down and read comments

Go and take codeine

Please don't heed this advice!!

Welcome to my world.

I've been having symptoms of sciatica and the drug I took has got me feeling really depressed whenever I take it.

Even while on the drug, I do have nightmares.

Antidepressants should only be stopped by your doctor's directives.

Going Cold Turkey on antidepressants isn't any different from other psychoactive drugs out there.

Scared of going back to hospital?

You are joking with your sanity abi?

Happens with alcohol too

So we should fry Sand?

Hmm.. I no no wetin to contribute oo. Doctors in the house please

....
Did the doctor advice you to stop the medications

If yes, I believed he adviced you on how to go about it.

You don't just stop these drugs abruptly. You temper the doses gradually.

Why antidepressants in the first place? Are you having neurological issues?

I feel your pain man. If you can soldier on for a week or so it will pass

Op, you better don't give up, Buhari tenure ll soon be over.. many are in the same shoe with you, na who open up u go know as him own be

Try tempering of gradually, reduce the dose you take daily
