Was using semax during usage and a few months after quitting but im wondering about using it after 7 months to aid in recovery?

Im talking protracted withdrawal. Im 7 months deep. Armodafinil caused anxiety so bad it brought me to ER, as in my blood pressure and heart rate was beyond extremely high.

This is absolutely brand new, I never had anxiety like this even with panic disorder pre-SSRI. This is most likely withdrawal.

Obviously since ADHD meds are stimulants and so is Armodafinil, Im wondering if it'd be too dangerous? I might be starting them within a month or so.

And you may ask "why dont you ask a doctor" because they barely believe in protracted withdrawal and think the only withdrawal is acute. I rather speak to people who actually take these things.

Im 7 months into quitting SSRIs, prozac for 7 years-ish, venlafaxine for 6 months, cross tapered with mirtazapine which was two months; finally cold turkey.

For the past 7 months I had pretty mild symptoms, loads of twitching, eye floaters visible, anxiety was bad though.

Now im getting less libido, im dizzy as hell right now, and a bit nauseous. I never had any sexual dysfunction while on the pills at all. Im a bit terrified so im wondering if I should just reinstate? Im more terrified of PSSD than anything. Obviously i will be talking to a doctor but i want to know from your guys experience who have actually taken ADs.

Its been about 7 months, tapered off venlafaxine 75mg in about 2 months, but was on prozac for like 6-7 years 20mg.

My biggest symptoms are mostly eye visual such as floaters, light imprinting in retina much easier, a lot more anxiety, and a weird head feeling on the right side of my head, eyes twitch, hands maybe a little.

Went to ER twice for taking armodafinil; nervous system absolutely cannot handle it at all. But ive recovered each time in a few weeks. So to me thats a good sign.

Just wondering if you guys think my case doesnt seem to crazy and Im likely to heal? The biggest thing I want back is my emotional depth and creativity.

Been on AD for 8 years, quit in september, was on all kinds, but always on a low-moderate dosage so my withdrawal isnt as brutal as you guys have it.

However, 6 months in, Im getting a massive influx of floaters (eye doctors say eye is perfectly fine), and lights seem to implant into my vision more? If I look at anything with some light it sticks to my vision, its like my eyes are a bad monitor.

Also Im seeing a lot more blue field entropic phenomena.

I dont know if its because I started eye contacts in the same month or something..
