Ever since my depression in September I just gained numbness and self loathing. My interests in things that I liked completely shattered. Like why can't I just be 'normal' for once. After 4 days recently of not taking meds my sleep cycle was thrown out of the window and my anxiety risen. It's far too difficult to be off meds but I'm back on them again now. Heck who wants to be 'normal' these days. I can feel my mind racing again and I feel out of control....I was pacing so much I purged and vomited. The lack of meds made me feel so I'll. My gut instinct was telling me to come back to this site but I don't know why...maybe it's a sign?

I think maybe you felt sick and restless because of med withdrawals? It's not good for your body to stop cold turkey.

What made you decide to stop your meds? I've stopped a few times and immediately got some king of manic. Definitely racing thoughts going on, and like you said, lots of anxiety. I haven't pulled that stunt in a long time though. Maybe I've learned my lesson. (I hope so, but you never know).

well I kept delaying on when I will hand in my prescription and I paid the price for it. My whole face was pale and I looked like **** and felt all other the place with emotions. It feels like I'm restarting my quitiapine all over again

Oof, that sucks. I'm sorry. I get that way sometimes with turning in my prescriptions too because it's such a long drive to the pharmacy and I hate hate hate waiting, especially when I'm around people.

I hope this major discomfort goes away for you soon, and that things get back to normal.
