Friday night (day 1) Right as Erick (boyfriend) and I were heading to bed (11pm) I started crying for no reason what so ever! And not tearing up, full on balling my eyes out. Erick (boyfriend) knows I've quitting my antidepressant so we understood and just talked to me about things I usually find funny, within 10 mins I was fine again, so there nothing ever happened
Saturday I was fine, no headahces, emotional problems etc :)
Sunday was bad though, lots of crying for no reason, feeling really tired, and just feeling really low, I'm so thankful for my family and boyfriend for supporting me and being there for me.
Monday and Tuesday were great emotionally, felt happy in a good mood all day both days! The only thing is I was really tired and had a headache, but other than that I was fine :D I did stop the St. John's Wort on Monday as I heard it can cause withdrawal to be worse, so maybe that's why I've been better!

Today's my first day off Ciprelax, I usually took it at 9pm and I didn't take it last tonight. It's now Friday afternoon and the last time I took it was Wednesday night.
So far all I've felt is just a bit of a headache and I'm sweaty (I work in an air conditioned building). My vision is a bit shaky if that makes sense, almost like I've thing in front of me isn't quite real. I'm really tired even after getting a good nights sleep last night, though I've been really tired all the time since upping the dose to 20mg 3 weeks ago.
The withdrawal isn't that bad (knock on wood) so far. No emotional changes, still feel fine, happy, mad at things that usually make me mad, nothing abnormal.
I took my Multi-Vitamin, B-12, St John's Wort, and Iron this morning. I've always been low on iron and I read last night it can help with depression as well. I actually work at a pharmacy, I'm just a cashier, but I spoke with the pharmacist and she said it was fine to take all the vitamins together That's my check in today, I'll be back tomorrow

For the past 2 months I've been taking Ciprelax for my depression, I started at 10mg and recently moved up to 20mg. I have found it has helped some what. I still get depressed from time to time as well as angry, but it has helped.
Also in the past 2 months I've completely changed my diet! I'm eating clean now,fresh greens, fruits, veggie. No more processed garbage! Also I go to the gym 3-5 times a week, taking classes at Goodlife! it's been great!
However, I've noticed I really haven't lost that must weight (5 pounds max) in the 2 months. Way less than I should have. I haven't been cheating, I don't skip the gym so why am I not losing weight? I lost 20 pounds a couple years ago with no major problems, the weight came off fairly easy after starting the gym and eating healthier so what's wrong with me now?
I've done my research and now I'm thinking its the Ciprelax stopping me from losing weight. I thought I got off easy as it didn't cause any weight gain when I started it, but I came across a lot of forms that have said antidepressants came cause it to be much harder to lose weight.
After lots of researching and thinking I've decided I want to quit my meds! COLD TURKEY.
Yes I said cold turkey! I know it's not wise and I should cut back slowly, but I've ran out of pills and don't want to have to buy more just to wein myself off them. I've read all the horror stories of withdrawal I'm about to go through, but I'm ready!!
I bought 1,000mg of B-12 as I heard it helps with depression and 300mg of St. John's Wort so I'm hoping those help to make it not as bad to come off.
I think I'm making the right choice. I quit my birth control pill a couple months back after being on it 2 years because I really didn't want the chemicals in my body so I think I'm making the right choice in quitting Ciprelx as well.
I'm defiantly going to keep updating to let you know how it's going!!
