I went off 7 weeks ago and have had anxiety issues the past 4 days that I cannot connect to anything. Waiting for my psychiatrist to get back to me about what to do. This is soooo not me and it is upsetting which adds to the anxiety. I had the worse headache ever about 3 weeks after going off so had CT scans to rule out other bad stuff. That came back ok. I can’t find anything official related to symptoms women have after going off after 5 years.
My mom as well. She has been on it for 5 years. Has now been off of it for 4.5 months. The anxiety has slowly gotten worse. She complains of itchy head (like ants crawling around)and her body tremors. She now cannot stay alone at home.
