RedAlpha Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 If it is bad enough ring your GP now. They will be closed and you will be put through to the out of hours service. -From there you can speak to someone, which might take a little time to organise but you can get a small prescription written which you can pick up at a pharmacist which if anything could ease your symptoms, that will. If it is not bad enough, don't -but ringing for proper medical advice cant hurt.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbluesky Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Help! Been on 10mg for 18 months. Started getting a bad skin reaction, think its the cipralex. So trying to get off it. Cut down to 5mg every other day and then hopefully 5mg a day. Feel totally ****, constantly feel sick, snappy, on edge, dying! Am I human? Is this a normal reaction. The rest of my family are suffering due to my attitude/suffering etc. Just some advice please. I got to get off this crap, to see if its this causing my skin reaction. Better off dead. Thank you for your time. Email me if you can as im new to this forum. Got an appt to see shrink next Monday, if I survive that long. Also on Lithium and Serequl. Best wishes, Keith.

Saffy Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi Diddy .. God I so feel for you. I've recently gone cold turkey from 40mg Oxycodone 12 hour release twice a day, topped with 5mg/5ml in liquid form for breakthrough pain. After the nausea, spasms, sweats, inability to sleep, came the anxiety and panic attacks .. and they are awfully frightening. Just remember, panic attacks wont kill you .. they're terrifying to go through, but try and slow your breathing and tell yourself this .. and that it will pass. Mrbluesky .. I'm surprised you are getting the skin reaction now when you've been on it so long. However, I totally understand your wanting to come off the stuff. Have you looked up the side effects on Cipralex and also, Lithium and Serequl? If anyone needs emotional support .. please PM me, as I went through a week of hell, and I know that just being able to shout about it, can help.

Saffy Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 By the way, the support of your Doctor is important. My Doctor rang me every few days just to see how I was getting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
