Bizarre coincidences with withdrawal??

scotty · 08-25-2004, 11:45 AM

OK, now your going to think I'm really nuts, but the Yahoo group that I subscribe to has an interesting group of posts going on. One Mom posted about her son writing song lyrics on the walls of his room during withdrawal. Another person responded that they did that also(30 years old!). Now thinking back Ryan did the same thing when in uncontrolled withdrawal.He has song lyrics/poems wall to wall that he wrote in the middle of the night. Just curious, anyone else here have the same experience??

You know one thing about Paxil I found is that it reduced my creative side. Something with blocking my emotions I guess. I haven't started writing song lyrics, but I did have tears twice today because of emotinal release. I felt almost normal again ... and its been a long long time...

Nope, not me.... I wish I could. I love to sing and hey maybe I could make a few bucks to pay the bills.

In retrospect I stopped singing after I was on these drugs. So they do stop your creativity. I'm trying to sing again, inbetween the anger....

Yep, I did do the crying though today. But no it wasn't refreshing either. Maybe If I could get some really good sleep every nite it would help.
Or if I knew some way I could bring some money into this house that would help.

Can you tell I'm angry today and pissed....

Damn the lies, and the liers

yes, paxil definetly stops your creativity. I could not write while I was on paxil. I was just a zombie!!!! Now I cry, write, laugh.... its good!!!

I'd love to hear Darcy's take on this. Maybe its the return of creativity/emotion and the minds way of making it really big!! Ryan's walls were almost totally covered with writing. Now I wish I hadn't made him paint it over, but then again I am a Mom!

Yes i'm doing this. I have stuff all over my walls, something I haven't done since I was 14. I started writing again too.

I think it's my real feelings beginning to surface somewhat. I was somewhat emotionally messed up before I took paxil (boy trouble) so it's probably all that comming to the surface again. I think part of it was I was just so pleased to actually feel something again. Though probably in a few months down the track he'll be driving me insane as usual.

Wow......We are all on the same wavelenth this morn.

When I woke Up this morn.....I said to my wife.

"You know what......my short term memory is MUCH better for some reason"

I've been writing parts of songs every day while withdrawing from Pukexil.......and I CAN REMEMBER THEM!

When I was on the stuff.......I NEVER could remember what I wrote the day before.......or even the HOUR before.

I always had to have a recorder ....so I wouldn't lose it.

I guess it's a positive thing.......gotta keep concentrating on the positives I guess.

I've always been the sensitive to everything, creative type....

I guess that's why I couldn't drink without becoming a drunk.....

And why it's so hard to get off (or on) any of these horrid drugs.

I think we all have a connection of some type here......We prob all have some major personality connections.

I bet the people that can drop these drugs with no effects at all........are NOTHING like us.

Maybe....

But what do I know....hee hee
