| Off opiates 5 weeks EXTREMELY DEPRESSED HELP!!
Because I found myself suddenly and unexpectedly pregnant, I came off a 150+ mg hydrocodone habit a day and a pack of smokes a day cold turkey. It was hell for a week and then a burst of light. I felt so great like I could take on the world. Then this depression hit. Its new and I can't fight it. My doc has me on 20mg of Lexapro. When I came off the pills I threw out the lexapro a week later. Bad idea. Brain zaps, delerium, you name it. Scary stuff. So I went back on.
Tomorrow my therapist is having me talk to my doc about increasing the Lexapro and possibly adding something to it.
As I got to reading on here it sounds like many of you are against the medication. But I just don't know what to do. When I get in to a dark mood I literally curl up in a ball and stay that way. I can cry for hours and just feel lost. It is horrible and i've never felt it before. And I must must work. It is so hard now just to go.
I know you can not give me a medical opinion but if anyone has some useful advice or a simliar experience PLEASE share with me. I am scared and want to be me again. :praying
