Okay so I'm back again and been going through a bit of hell. I had to stop antidepressants cold turkey about 11 weeks ago now after being on two sets for about 4 months. Needless to say, these past 11 weeks haven't been good. I know about the dangers of stopping cold turkey but I was getting all suicidal on my meds so, thats why it was suggested I come off them right away. I have felt tired, every single day, and I felt this way even on my meds anyways. Though now, it doesn't matter how many hours I get, I'm still tired. I find it hard to concentrate sometimes too. I've checked my eyes, and theres nothing wrong with them according to the opticians. Thought it might have been a sinus infection so tried stuff for that for 2 weeks, didn't feel any better.
My doctor said it cant be antidepressant withdrawal because that shouldn't last as long as 11 weeks. And now, I'm taking Vitamin D deficiency pills as my blood test results said I have a slight Vitamin D deficiency so that might be causing my problems, but I sadly doubt it. Now also taking migraine pills that act as painkillers so my head doesn't throb as much and my eyes don't ache as much either. Not sure if those will work, and I know those most likely wont make my tiredness go away.
My psychiatrist recently suggested I go back on antidepressants but a more gentler type and not SSRIs. I am really not sure about that, and have no clue if it'll just bring back my suicidal thinking and I'll be back to how I felt on the other type of meds. Any suggestions are welcome.
I'm really conflicted and not sure what I should do to make this constant tiredness go away.
