It’s been a rough weekend. I am coming off Zoloft (sertraline hydrochloride), slowly, slowly, and starting Endep (atriptyline) next week. It’s an antidepressant too, but it should, hopefully, block some of the pain signals. I’m concerned about stopping Zoloft because I am petrified about a relapse in depression. I’m also cutting down the codeine. Withdrawals are unpleasant. Yesterday I was hot, sweaty, lying in bed, feeling like death. My legs were killing me. I went to mass and sat down for the entire service, rather than standing, sitting, kneeling, standing with everyone else.
Last night the pain was bad. I took a lot of codeine and anti-inflammatories and doped myself into a nice floating state, just so I could sleep.
It’s good shit. But I hate it nonetheless.
