Is there anyone who can help you look after them? Does your doctor know how how severe the withdrawal is?
I get migraines once in a blue moon and they aren't nothing but flashy lights in my vision. Your's sound hardcore. |

There isn't really anyone - my husband. One of my kids is really easy to look after and he could go to anyone, but then he doesn't cause me any trouble either. The younger one is like an eccentric professor and if you leave him alone for more than 30 minutes there will be smoke and explosions. So it's hard to find a babysitter for him. I could tell my new psychiatrist but I know there's nothing he can do for me except give me more medication. So it's an option, but a last resort.
My migraines are horseshit. I think there's something wrong with me because of all the drugs I took in my early teens. I had an event when I was 26 where I collapsed to the floor feeling like I was being pulled down on one side, and couldn't get up to use the bathroom without puking so ended up peeing on myself and vomiting anyway. For the next few days I couldn't keep anything down and if I even turned my head on the pillow the world would spin and I'd vomit. My oldest was still breastfed, and my husband was looking after him but he'd cry and wouldn't take a bottle, so my husband would have to bring him to me so I could feed him during those few days and I'd just try not to vomit on him. It was dire. Afterwards I had double vision, dizziness and nausea for months. I told my doctor at the time that I was worried that it was a stroke, and she wrote me off, saying oh you're 26, 26 year olds don't have strokes, you're fine. That was in New Zealand though. If the same thing had happened in Australia or Singapore I probably would have been referred for an EEG or MRI to see what came up, but where I was in New Zealand it was like a small down with a Mom and Pop doctor's office (literally. it was owned by a husband and wife who were both doctors) and they had that sort of doctor's conceit going on where they knew best and I was just an idiot young mother with a philosophy degree who just needed to get a job and do an honest day's work. |

No, not seeing him at all. Not because I don't like him - he's fine. But I know what his options will be, for me. So if I need them, I'll go see him.
Otherwise, it's just more stress than it's worth, I pretty much have to take a cab there and back, which is $20, plus the consult fee which is $200, I mean for that money I could go get a remedial TCM massage and some super premium pu er tea and to be honest I'd probably do that first. It's a good question about whether I need an antidepressant. If I get through the duloxetine withdrawal and I'm still crying a lot and feeling an urge to cut myself, and losing my temper with the kids, and basically unable to cope with everyday life, I'll go and ask for fluoxetine or something and see what he says. Maybe he'll up my lamotrigine instead. I'm in that shitty 'see what happens' stage. |

I sometimes look in the mirror and think 'Jesus Christ I'm awesome'.
Which is a sad thing because I'm usually blinded by my own gorgeousness. |

Yeah vixnix stay strong. could you up the dose a little? Would that help? How long will the withdrawals last? Is it getting any better? Sry if you already answer this.
And I had the same thing with constant vertigo. all i could do was lie on my bed for maybe four days. if i stood up everything would start whirring and i would vomit. couldn't eat and barely drank water. this was during a heavy extended dxm binge. so scary. |
