I'm taking Bonine for that 'sea-sickness' feeling and Ibuprofen for the headaches. I still can't think clearly and feel disoriented, also extremely tired. So what would Sudafed do for me?
Answer:I've not heard anyone use Sudafed for antidepressant withdrawal...it's a decongestant and clears your nasal and sinus passages if they are stuffed up from a cold or allergies.
I couldn't find any OTC med that helped with the nasty symptoms, but my psych had me take a low dose of Prozac, which I could taper down much easier and didn't cause hardly any withdrawal...maybe you could talk to your doctor about doing something like that.
Good luck-SSRI withdrawal is the pits!
I also suffered severely when I quit taking Lexapro. I don't remember anything helping at all, except time. Be patient and you should start feeling better soon.
