Ok, so here's my story;
I've always been a big stim junkie, used it a lot, was very unresponsive to it, did everything by the book though, took my breaks and everything, but still had a high tolerance.
Ran Clen for a while, following the routine 2 weeks on x 2 weeks off, did it for say, 2 - 3 months. Did ephedrine back in the day, but haven't used it in over 9 months now. And I always just had a lot of coffee throughout the day, my favorite beverage. Would have about 8 cups a day. Everything was fine and dandy, no real problems aside from the occasional jitters and shaking. Still I felt like a million bucks.
And here's now; my BP was a little elevated. 140/90, so I decided to take a break for 2 - 3 weeks before I had a physical at work, which also dictates my insurance rates, just to make sure I would pass with flying colors so I could get a good rate. So I quit. Cold Turkey. All stims. And started using Revamp.
Everything was going great until I thought I was having a heart attack and rushed to the hospital. It wasn't a heart attack, it was an anxiety / panic attack. That was isolated, pretty much as soon as I decided to give up on these. After that I started noticing my heart was much more accelerated than usual, almost as if I was still on stims. I was always pretty alert, even though I had no coffee... A few days later, same symptoms and hospital again... Diagnosed with Anxiety. It seems as, since I quit cold turkey, my body which was used to having all those outside stimulants decided that, since it was no longer receiving them from an outside source, it would start pumping extra adrenaline through my body.
Well, my brain had an issue with that, as it wasn't expecting that, and saw that as a signal that I was in danger and now I have constant - pretty much daily - anxiety attacks, sometimes bad ones too. Went to the doctor, got prescribed some relaxants (lorenzepan) for whenever it struck, but I've been taking those for about 6 days and symptoms are still there. I got referred to a psychiatrist, and well, I have psychiatrists in my family and asked them what is the standard procedure - 6 months to 1 year of anti-depressants comboe'd with releaxants...
Well, needless to say, I would HATE to have to be on AD and Relaxants for a freaking year... Will have the visit but that is what is shaping up to be the case... I guess my question is, has anyone else dealt with anything in these lines? I've been taking a Valeriant Root supplement but that only helps so much, not really doing the whole deed and I still feel very anxious and all. Further concerns are, taking those drugs I won't really be able to take my normal supplements, let alone steroids, which is annoying, but health comes first, obviously, and I will need to get this treated. Just wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences...
All comments are appreciated.
