Meds do suck… it’s why I’m here sigh :’)

It really is a minefield with these things.

Have you tried anything natural like St John's Wort at all? @ErikaS

@ErikaS Yes, they do. I would be extremely conservative with them. I hardly take aspirin at this point.

I only took this after many difficult nights of sleep and researching the drug and it’s profile that I should have been okay. It gave me many better nights of sleep before I developed this. So unfortunate.

@Strawberryblonde I have not, I have some supplements from my new functional medicine doc that I hope help, I also have Magnesium Calm. Going to wean off of the Remeron and try Hydroxyzine, which I pray helps becuase it’s just a strong anti-histamine, not so harsh brain chemical stuff. Goal is to be off Ativan eventually too

@ErikaS I was put on a low dose of hydroxyzine before the onset of my tinnitus. It helped control my panic attacks but the side effects for me out numbers the benefits. It definitely mellows you out and typically hits you within 10-15min, from experience. the calming effect lasted 4hrs or so but shot my pulse rate up so i stopped taking

@Sammy0225 thank you for letting me know, I will keep that in mind as I try it. I will be taking low dose too, but if it has side affects with me then I will just do my best to go all natural.
