Update on my health (It's still not good...)
3 months ago
It's been a few months since I made an update post, I completely forgot to make one when we figured out what is really wrong with me, and it's worse than simple withdrawals.
I have Akathisia, a somewhat rare condition that can occur going onto, changing doses, or coming off of the type of med I was on. It feels like intense anxiety when it's in full effect, and causes the other things like vomiting. It's like restless legs on steroids in a way too.
I had really hoped it was a shorter term thing, but it can last for months, sources say typically up to six. It can rarely last a year or more.
It's left me pretty much disabled completely, and the longer it goes on the less effective certain medications are becoming and I need to go up on doses.
It's like I'm being tortured or punished, I don't deserve this, no one deserves what this shit does to someone... I just want it to end.
It doesn't help that my psychiatrist appointments are so far apart, I have to go to the emergency department at the hospital she works in just to get medication adjustments.

My deepest sympathies to you. It looks like the only solution is to let the akathisia pass on its own at this point, but it also means you have to deal with it in the meantime; definitely sounds like a nightmare. It's terrible that you're being put through this because of that medication. I hope it ends quickly.
