Depression and Withdrawl

Where to begin...

 

I think bupropion was acting as an antidepressant as well as helping me quit smoking because I became depressed and had horrible cravings after I stopped it. As I became more depressed, I didn't want to go on the computer. I also spent more time on the couch with the TV on, but paying attention to it less and less. Then I ran out of Geodon (my mood stabilizer) and went through withdrawl. I spent an entire day on the couch doing nothing except using the bathroom and eating when mom gave me something. However for two days I did not have a single craving. My cravings came back today though, so boo.

 

I did keep up on my C25K, and completed Week 3, which had me running 90secs, walking 90secs, running 3min, walking 3min, and doing that pattern twice. The last run of Week 3 I got dizzy, which we think is from the withdrawl from Geodon. I got Geodon now, though, and am doing better.

I don't know very much about the drugs you are on but I would say go gently with yourself. Any withdrawal needs recovery time and I think it's ok for you to take that. Massive congrats on not smoking through it all, never give ourselves the excuse. Awesome running effort too! xx
