Diagnosed ME/CFS. Also dealing with benzodiazepine tolerance/withdrawal issues and severe akathisia/restlessness. Cognitive function is poor right now and I struggle to communicate clearly. Looking for anyone who experienced this combination and improved enough to function again.

Extremely bad akathisia cold turkeying zoloft and seroquel. Reinstated Zoloft by not seroquel at the time, greenhorn to protracted withdrawals, panicking looking anywhere online.
I am still in a windows and waves pattern but akathisia is unbearable, 3.5 years out I am husked out, there is nothing there, barely held together by strings. Nasty stuff, seriously considering mirtazapine only if it can mitigate the akathisia. I can deal with everything else, but not that
This must be a common theme or question that is asked but I think about taking mirtazapine and just taking it forever, I don't have much else to lose. I tried 3.75mg of it and my legs starting moving like crazy, I couldn't stop it. Out of panic I went up to 7.5mg and I conked out.
I am trying very very hard to hold on, I am the same person I was 3.5 years ago. There is only so much wisdom to be gained when looking back but it means nothing if I don't live to look back on it and do advocacy for withdrawal syndromes.
