So i am going off vraylar i was on 4.5 mg over a 3 weeks period so i can start caplyta because my vraylar stopped working for me and i am severely depressed and it happened fast. I am have SEVERE anxiety and nervousness i feel like im shaking inside i can not keep my feet still i gotta be doing something with my hands all the time im awake . My klonopin i nomrally just take at night now i did take one this morning it did help calm me down some but not completly. I feel like i am going crazy i hate this i always get bad withdraws. I am glad i have the klonopin and will be glad when the changes are done. i just need support right now. My drs aware of how i get which is why i have the klonopin i only try not to take the klonopin because it makes me sleep even more than i already am so much of right now but i need to calm the withdraws. Sorry if this doenst make much sense. I am so flustered. Between the depression and anxiety and withdraws right now. Still having selfharm urges still have not given in because i promsed dad a year ago on his death bed i never would again and i havnet in a year nad half now.

I'm diabetic, too, AJ, so I'm glad you're sticking with it for your diabetes' sake. It's tough to regulate PTSD and the ups and downs of blood sugar, too. Wish you weren't having those migraines. Sending you support for getting through those--and through all of this med change, too.

We are upping the klonopin to 4 of the .5mg ODT a day anxiety increased worse today shrink said yup its withdraws and wont last so just ride it out hes helping the best he can. I wish the migraines would go away too.

Wow, I wish the migraines would stop for you, too, AJ. It's bad enough having the other symptoms of withdrawal without hammering going on in your head. Sending you support today again in hopes that upping the klonopin's going to bring you some relief tonight.

Thinking of you again today, AJ, sending you support for those migraines. Hoping they'll subside soon.
