Also, avoid watching or reading the news or anything negative. Instead, dig out your positive, favorite music, some good books, and comedy videos. Even treating yourself to a nice room with a couple lit candles and some relaxing music can help you focus on soothing thoughts and work through the pain.

I just have a bad headache and still some dizziness. I feel a bit de-personalized (that's going away too) but not at all depressed. Seems as though I lucked out on the med withdrawal. :)
