I've spent all day with a headache, nausea, and dizziness (reddthat.com)

For the past several months I've been slowly tapering off an SNRI with terrible withdrawal. If I ever forgot a dose, I spent the next day with a pounding headache, unable to stand up, feeling like I was going to vom. As I've been tapering, every time I drop the dosage it's the same symptoms, but to a u slightly lesser degree.

It's been... not fun.

And then I remember that I used to feel like this almost every Saturday and Sunday because of my binge drinking/alcohol abuse.

I quit using alcohol over three years ago. I'm really proud of myself, and grateful to (usually) feel better in my body these days.

I'm glad you came through it! Sometimes a sledgehammer is the tool you need.

Oh man med hangovers are terrible, and side effects are a bitch. It's worth feeling human again though!
