Weaning

June 13, 2018 by Meghan 15 Comments

Fingers itching. Body twitching.
Snapping jaws. Lashing tongue.
No take backs.
Short fuse. No fuse.
 
Elation. Agitation.
Ruin. Rage. Remorse.
Righteousness. Doubt.
Head boiling. Heart blistering.
 
Running. Racing. Roaring. 
Avoid sitting. Stop thinking.
I don’t want to feel.
 
Swallowing schism. Subtle shifting. 
Shut it down. Stuff it down.    
Down. 
 
Breakdown.
Break through.
Tunnel out. Tear out.
Bore back.

      Mine, although I’m sure she’s picking up on them. I’m weaning off the Zoloft and simultaneously Ave appears to be weaning off nursing so it’s a double whammy.

    That pretty sums it up for bothof you, It’s so hard! Hang in there, it’s another new beginning, a new day, new miracles ahead, not just an ending.

    Beautiful expression!

      This was actually about me weaning off Zoloft, the anti-depressant I went on once she was born, although Ave has taken it on herself to wean from nursing too so I’m getting a double emotional whammy. I’m grateful Ave is leading the charge for the nursing too because it’s how I wanted that relationship to end.

        Ooh. Well, I certainly do know that one! And that the weaning process of most antidepressants are different with each, but a party gone wrong in your head and body.

        Weaning both a tot and med at the same time I have not had to do. The med alone is an uncomfortable period of differing degrees depending on the dose, medication and length of time you’re been on it. It has been a long time (years) since I have used Zoloft. All that I remember were the extra 15 lbs I carried while on it and a few others. They fell away slowly after I stopped.

          It would certainly be nice to shed 15 pounds now that I’m off it. Fingers crossed.

      Yep, good-bye Zoloft, hopefully forever.

      Ave has also taken it upon herself to wean from nursing too which is wonderful, but makes me an emotional hot mess.
