• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Being off of meds stinks. I had to stay home today due to medication withdrawals. I can't sleep at night, either. I am waiting for pregancy fatigue to set in. I am really not telling anyone for a few months until I know that the chance of miscarriage is low. The meds I have been on may make the probablity of miscariage higher. God is in control.

I never realized how much medication really helped. I guess I am a little more high without meds; more then I previously realized. I literally had three hours of sleep last night because my body wouldn't let me sleep. I just stayed in bed throughout the night trying to pray myself to sleep. This morning I just couldn't shake off the worst headache, nausea and dizziness ever....yuk!!!

Thanks for your prayers!

Dear Nateboy


Could this be a case of:

" THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND "


I hope you are aware that stopping cold turkey is very dangerous and life threatening.


PLEASE GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!


AND REMEMBER:







X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O

Praying for you during this early time of your pregnanacy. So much about meds is unknown still, I understand that you need to do this for the protection of your baby. Do not stray far from your suppport systems during this time, do evrything you know how to keep yourself and your sweet little unborn child safe.

Father God you word promises that we cannot leave your presence, that you are withus always. I pray that you will lift up this dear Sister in Christ and keep her safe during this pregnancy. Father God, we trust you that you are in control, but we ask that you give her and the doctors treating her wisdom in how best to help her thru these nine months. Fahter you know better than I what is needed during this time, so I will just ask that you will provide all that is needed. Thank you Lord for your plan and your control ove rths time!

IN Jesus precious name, AMEN!!!

Basically, I broke down and took a Clonopin in the mid morning after another fruitless sleep night. That is the one med the doctor didn't want me to quit cold turkey on because it can cause seizures. I will be tapering off. I am still not taking the other meds. Anxiety is my biggest foe right now! Can't stand it. I did quit meds cold turkey with my last child and had no problems. My meds weren't as "hard core" for lack of better words than they are now. God is in control.

Thanks for your support and prayers.

Still praying, I pray that as the meds clear your system and your hormones kick in, that things will level out for you and that this pregnancy will be a special time of blessing for you, you family and this sweet little unborn child!!!

I am NOT a depressed person at all, until now. I just am so dang depressed and fatigued. My pregnancy test finally showed a light line. I knew I was pregnant. This pregnancy is already different from the last one. I don't have as much symptoms but am more fatigued and depressed since the other one. My husband is now going to the store to confirm the line. If there is nothing, I will try early morning urine.

That's that. If the line shows up, I will be quiting meds cold turkey...of course, after consulting my psychiatrist. My work is very flexible in that if I need help, they will give it to me. In an ironic, sad twist of fate, there is a girl who works part time but her husband is leaving her and she needs full time. I am not supposed to know but am hoping that she takes part of my job. I am hoping that she talks to the big boss woman who knows that "if there is a miracle and I can work part time" she will give it to me. She said that she doubts that a miracle can happen. I hate to think a miracle would actually be a horribly sad case of the most wonderful girl whose husband is cheating on her and basically calling her stupid. The girl is the smartest person I know, very beautiful and is one of the best at what we do....I hurt for her so much.

..sorry, little side note. Just another thing to make me depressed. I can't believe I am depressed. I am not a depressed bipolar person. I switch from fatigue to anxiety and hypomania...not depression. In high school I was severely hypomanic and depressed, but that was 14 years ago (gosh I am getting old).
