So I've recently come off solian (dosage was 150mg and I came off it over a period of a week by slowly decreasing it and yes it was under my pdocs care)
when I got down to 50mg though I was very agitated and felt so anxious I could barely sit still. And then since I've been off it (a fortnight maybe?) I've just been feeling so much worse. Suicidal thoughts/ urges have been stronger, and so has all the self-harm stuff and I've slipped up and gone back to it  but yet when I was on the solian it did not impact me at all?? It didn't improve my mood, make me worse... just had no affect at all. so is it possible I am still withdrawing from this med or should I go back on it? I don't see my pdoc for another week and a half and he usually doesn't return phone calls. I really don't know what to do and I know you guys can't advise me as such but I just feel all alone and like I am going crazy. I am trying to not self-harm badly but things just keep getting worse and I dont know what to do. anyone been on solian before or heard anything about it? thanks for reading. __________________ "...sometimes the only way to see the light at the end of the tunnel, is to crawl through the mud in darkness." ~ Rachel Reiland - get me out of here ~ |

Hi, I haven't been on Solian but I'd imagine any drug can cause a period of withdrawal symptoms even after stopping it due to the half life of how long it takes to leave the body. Some drugs like benzos can cause a withdrawal syndrome that lasts for years - I'm suffering from that. So yeah, I definitely think it's probable. Maybe you can tell your pdoc that you're still feeling sick from coming off the Solian and see if maybe you need a longer tapering period or see if you start feeling better soon. Best wishes.

Thanks for replying. I'm off it now completely but still not feeling great. And I am sooooo not looking forward to when I have to come off diazapam

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
