Nearing the End of a Long Road
July 12th, 2010 @ 10:09 am

Yesterday was my first day without an anti-depressant. I’ve slowly weaned down to 2.5mg daily and I took my last quarter pill on Saturday.

At 3am this morning I woke up with a panic attack. But, it was milder than any panic attack I’ve ever had. I was asleep by a little after 4am and this gives me a little hopeful feeling that the final detox won’t be as bad as I’ve imagined it to be in the past.

I’m a little groggy today because I took an Advil PM at 3am to combat the panic. It helps and I would much rather be groggy now than bitchy, uncomfortable, and anxiety-ridden.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, please.

    I hope it goes well for you without the meds. I have been off mine now for nearly a year, even though sometimes I probably need it.

    My fingers are definitely crossed! I did it recently myself and while hard at first, I think it was a really good thing in the end.
