Guest guest Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Friends, My appitie is returning and clench fists are subsiding and even if I am only validating my own feelings so be it. Although I am paying to feel a little better I still have pain, the same pain that I wanted more oxy to fight. I will just have to get used to that pain until the nerve dies or heals. My Cobra expired and I will have a year of no insurance so I am measuring what is working. Another observation, my foots swelling has gone down without oxy, why not since I am not so numb as to step so hard on it any more. I trust my doctor but she trusts the drug companies and I don't trust drug dealers. This withdrawl is nothing like Paxil which was like permanent brain damage. I long for my old self, well intentioned the doctor was making me an addict, a slack jawed druggie. I'm sorry. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Ah, another person who went through Paxil withdrawal. It took me 3 months to wean myself off it and when I went off the last 2.5 mg, I spent a whole week in bed, convinced my brain had shrunk away from my skull. I have never experienced anything worse than Paxil withdrawal! I went through horrific personality changes and became a total paranoid raving witch.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I wonder if you've looked into Medicaid. It's available to people who are disabled who are low-income. Also, your area may have a good local clinic that will take people without any health insurance. I was just thinking that you could have other problems that need medical attention during that year. Good luck! Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
