Gloriouspraise: Boil banana or ripe Plantain in water for not more than 10 minutes. Drink the water. I heard it works wonders for sleep but I haven't tried it. 1 Like 1 Share |

Gloriouspraise: I think you should endure the withdrawal symptoms and get through the entire process after which I advise that you never use anti-depressants again. Don't fail to be praying for your head and mind o, cos you really need prayers at this point. 1 Like |

Gloriouspraise:Anti depressants are of different types Some are Imipraimme, Zoloft etc There could be withdrawal effects in some. What they do is to control the chemical imbalance caused by anxiety and depression. However Amitriptyline is safe and can be stopped any time.No dependence at all. It will make you sleep and you may have to start to reduce the dosage if you sleep too much. YOU will be okay my brother 1 Like |

Insomnia, I don't just know how to overcome it. I envy people who will just hit the bed till the next morning. If sleep by 8 or 9pm on the dot,and I get to do my first turning on the bed by 11pm, I don't get to sleep till day break. That has always been my case...even if I take some sleep inducing drugs....it gets worse. Some times l'm tempted to look for profopol to aid sleep but I don't want to go the Michael Jackson way...so me and insomnia dey manage ourselve like that. ![]() |

First, don't give up. No matter what just be optimistic and yes, renew your faith in God. Believe this phase of your life will become history. Since you have already stopped and started bearing the brunt of the withdrawal syndrome, is it necessary to go back again? Chances are that it won't be easy to reduce the dosage and one might even need to up the doses to get any relief. Time to start other healthier alternatives. Try to eat good food, lots of vitamins ( if possible buy good multivitamin like Centrum - abeg ask your doctor before you proceed with this ), drink enough water, go out , laugh, live and avoid drama. Deep breathing exercises, running or other physical exercises and try not to fret about things especially your condition. One day, you will shut your eyes and open your eyes only to see you have slept 7hrs straight without any medication. You will get past this as long as you are optimistic. I really hope you don't have to go back to the medication. I don't wish them on my enemy. May God grant you everything you need to overcome this fast. Doctors in the House, please have a heart and don't be quick to prescribe anti depressants to your patients. If necessary at least be open and discuss risks and expectations with your patients. |

Not a doctor... but this I know ... your body can detox itself ... but you need to make up your mind to face the fallout. I personally know people who came off of serious drug addiction cold turkey ... but they bore the pains and sufferings that came with the withdrawal. I can almost guarantee you... should you go to a hospital or doctor ... they would either pump you up with another drug .... or reduce the dosage. |

Re: Help!! Withdrawals Symptoms From Anti Depressants by priestcharm(m): 9:39pm On Sep 15, 2021 |
Gloriouspraise:I think the first Error was constant use of antidepressant. Doctors usually will advise you shouldn't take any for more than 7 days at a stretch. This will make your System get used to only getting some sleep with the drug. But since you're hooked, I think your doctor should be the best person to consult because withdrawing it's usage suddenly may not be in your best interest which I believe is the cause of your brain zap when you try to nap without the drug. |

Gloriouspraise: Whenever u go to a hospital kindly keep at the back of ur mind not every doctor knows what they are doing. Some are there to Learn and experiment and will gladly use u as a guinea pig. 2., to be on the safe side have more than one doctor and see a consultant or specialist to compare diagnosis b4 accepting any treatment or drugs. Medicine is very broad and it’s only or usually experienced old hands that know better or know their limits and can direct u to better hands. I come from a medical family so I know abit Of what I’m saying. 2 Likes |

For sleeping try....soaking garri with pear ( not avocado pear) preferably in the afternoon. Get a book and read while lying on your bed, avoid pressing your phone especially at night(switch off). Sleep early, possibly b4 9pm. Have physical exercise for like 30minutes above. I think a stronger foam would be best for you instead of a soft one. Avoid anything noise too. I hope this helps you sleep better |
