Quick Post

Time flew by today. I had no withdrawal symptoms and have been sleeping pretty good. I am very happy about this. 

There was a time where I was really scared and even doubted my decision to come off Lexapro.

But since I am normalizing and feeling actually better than before this last set of withdrawal, I am convinced to go forward. I don't have a date yet because I want to really make sure I am stable enough to go to the next drop. That drop will be a 10 percent drop. Every drop I have done has been a 50 percent drop. But as I progressed (with 6 months in between each drop) I noticed that the last one I did gave me quite a few problems and I did suffer.

I don't think that my withdrawal can happen without suffering unfortunately. My brain has been on antidepressants for 14 years. I have no doubt that I might have permanent damage and that withdrawing is not going to be easy at all. the last drop I end up doing for this drug will probably be the most painful and difficult.

But the saying "One Day At a Time" really applies here, over thinking or worrying about the next drop or the next day will get me nowhere.

This time around the supplements helped me and I didn't buy them from a fancy withdrawal program that are all over the Internet, I just bought good vitamins (In my case Puritan  Pride) that helped me, but in no way acted like another drug. I am staying away from herbs or "potions" because I have read time after time people withdrawing being very sensitive to mood altering supplements and any natural stimulant, even coffee.

I will list them again:
Fish Oil 1000 mg 3x  Day
B Complex 2x a day (on bottle)
Magnesium (Malate in my case) 400mg 2x a day.
Calcium Citrate 500mg 2x a day
Multivitamin

I also wanted to add that I still do my mental exercises before I got to sleep. To recap, I repeat to myself while in a drowsy state " Heal my Brain, Heal my Body, Heal My Mind .. I am thankful that my subconscious and God is healing me right at this moment, I am very happy with my healing"  ( I added a few things in there like including my mind)

The sentence "I am very happy with my healing" is letting my subconscious know that I believe to the point that I am already happy with the outcome.


Today was a very good day, and I enjoyed every minute of it.
