Getting there...

[SCORPIOQUEEN]

Hey all!

Just a quick update to my withdrawal from Elavil. For the past couple months I've been struggling really really hard trying to come out of withdrawal symptoms, I struggled and struggled it was the hardest thing I ever been through I really thought I was dying....

Don't get me wrong my tunnel is still far from light and I'm not quite there yet but I found a torch light and I will continue fighting to find my way out this tunnel that is so dark.. I am 6 weeks in on my withdrawal and the days don't seem so far anymore, my nausea has calmed down a bit, and my headaches are mild. I know I still have a lot more to go.. but I just wanted to let anyone out there know that we can all get through this together and come out of it cheering. The road isn't so bad once you have some people on it to help you through it. I had some really bad times this year weighing in on gaining 45lbs from the awful pill it really did make me depressed and made me feel out of place but I'm going to try one more time, not for anyone but for myself. I'm going to be healthy.... and until then.... I have given up meds for good.

So for all those people that supported me..

Thank You.

I get the impression that I was right not to go down the road of amitriptyline (Elavil). From what I've read here in the past, there comes a time when it is no longer effective and coming of it is a huge struggle if the user has been on high doses. In my case, small doses don't help at all.
