I still have a hold of SN that I got from 2 years ago. Before I was on 2mg Abilify, which made me quite obese. I've gotten off cold turkey from Abilify about half a year ago, which you can say caused me psychosis, but I've also been more physically active and now have a better diet, and as a result I lost 40 lbs (18 kg) and am better physically.
I should mention that for many years I was prescribed on xanax at 0.25mg, and took it when needed, without abuse. Although few months ago, due to pressures from work, I started to take it more frequently, even on consecutive days, but never more than once daily. As a result, I think I got an addiction and I been suffering from many of the withdrawals symptoms. I tried to taper off from it and it's been 2 weeks since my last xanax, but I think I'm going through protracted withdrawal syndrome. In the beginning, the situation was bad to the point that I had all the symptoms of type 2 diabetes, I thought I was permanently in that situation which really depressed me. But I did blood work and when I expected my A1C to be in the diabetic range, to my own surprise, my cholesterol, thyroid, and trycglicarites were in the normal range, and the A1C was so improved, I was not even in the per-diabetic range. I've gradually been feeling more normal physically over the weeks, and I can eat normal like before without unusual glucose fluctuations.
Despite this, with the protracted withdrawal syndrome, my cognitive abilities and memory has taken a huge dive, I been performing poorly at work, and I can barely function or focus. My emotions feel a lot more numb and i have slurred voice when I talk from what feels like numbed anxiety. I also have insomnia (but improved recently with Trazadone).
About 2 months ago, I been prescribed on Trazadone on 25mg at before bedtime, and Bupropion at 37.5mg in the morning. It has increased to 50 mg for Trazadone, and 75mg for Bupropion about 1 months ago. I was on Depakene at 125mg from 3 months ago, also taken before bedtime, but im in the process of tapering off from the Depakene.
Going back to SN protocol. I know this complicates things. For once I read that Bupropion has fatal interaction with Meto, but it has a short half life, so if I don't take it for few days, I won't suffer from the bad effects. Still, I'm concerned the protracted withdrawal syndrome which can make me nauseous sometimes, can interfere with the stomach and prevent me from absorbing the SN for a successful ctb.
Anyone who can advice on my situation, I would really appreciate it.
