Hello,
I know I should see my GP but I need someone to share this with and a little bit of reassurance from your own experiences of withdrawal. Despite having great friends I cannot share this with them because I feel like a right moaning minnie as I have other stuff going on - recently diagnosed with Durlings disease (Dermatitis Herpetiformis) and associated coeliac. Oh and I'm being checked for gallstones too. shoot me now.
After 18 months of 20mg a day I tapered off fluoxetine in May/June with guidance from GP. I got dreadful brain zaps and and they are lessening now - probably only get a few in a day. I'm also suffering from really weird hot flushes, I get 5 or 6 a day and I'm WELL past that stage
The problem is that 3 weeks after finishing the tablets I got the most horrendous dizziness, when I move my eyeballs my head spins and my vision is jumpy and my ears creak. I feel like I've just stepped off a waltzer at the funfair, it's really really getting me down because I'm worried if this is permanent, or how long it's going to last for. Or is it something else more sinister causing it? I'm also having headaches which is something I never get. This is now about 6 weeks of dizziness - is this normal, in your experience, and at what time period do I see the doctor. I'm also open to herbal medication while I get this out my system. In fact, will it ever leave my system?
Any of your help/experiences/comments are greatly appreciated. I'm really scared I'll be like this forever and it's almost making me depressed again.
