PartlyCloudy, boy, your post really got me. What you wrote is exactly my daily experience. And I do try to avoid riding someone else's experience by claiming it as my own, so let me say that just three days ago I fully realized my physical response to what are normal stressors for others. Anger is a big one. I don't go on the offensive--I have a back spasm. My hips and legs will hurt. I'll have the overwhelming urge to practically crawl away and lie down. It's become debilitating and acute. Right in my face and on the surface.
When I presented more as depressed, this phenomena seemed remotely at play. The past week or so I can see
myself acting in 911 mode while most of
the people I'm around move to a different tempo. It's down right freaky. I could see myself becoming paranoid (if it wasn't for good friends, self talk, and babble) because I feel so different. Out of synch.Whew. Well, thank you. And I am soooo sorry :(
What??!! You need to wash out pristiq? What's your dosage? No cross taper?
And how do you see this (your situation) in a therapeutic timeline?
(I've nixed neurontin again. Every so often a healthcare provider brings it up, and I revisit it.)
Thank you so much.
:) best to our aching backs!
