I have had anxiety all along, and even slight depression, but ever since getting this IVIG, I have been having really bad anxiety and terrible Depression at times.
What happens is I'll start bawling my eyes out in total despair. Then 20 minutes later, I feel fine as in I'm no longer feeling any depression. Even the gut wrenching anxiety seems to go away too. This is all without any medicine intervention.
I still feel malaise, fatigue, headaches, etc., but the Depression is totally gone.
I'm not doing jumping jacks by any means and am not Manic in any way shape or form, so is this just a Herx and a brain reset ? From what I know about Psychiatry, this is not BiPolor in it's true form or anything that can be explained.
I am driving my father crazy with this stuff as he has never seen anything like it, nor have I for the matter.
Again, this has all gotten worse since the IVIG
Thanks in advance,
LT

I can't tell you what it is, but I can tell you I have experienced the same thing.

Sometimes is just feels good to cry as silly as it seems. I am at the tail end of a SSRI taper, on 3mg of Paxil, I had zero emotions for the last 10 years, my sister died felt nothing, now with my emotions coming back I cried for the first time in 10 years a few weeks ago and damn it felt great to have an actual emotion. You should be crying from what your going thru, let it out, nothing wrong with it, if laughter is the bet medicine but crying is the 2nd best, its makes me sick when doctors put people on ssris for grief, its a part of life... LET it out there is no shame in that, you had a LP the other day for gods sake your not superman.

Havn't been supplementing but I guess I need to restart.
Just feeling so bad in every which way lately.
So worn out from this crap.
Just ordered some Lithium Orotate and will try it as Rosner recommends. Maybe this will help me along.
This IVIG has another 50 days left and even then 25% remains in my body. I'm 99.9% sure it is the cause of all of this.
I guess I'm the Lymenet guinea pig

Tears actually discharge pretty intense chemicals. I haven't researched it thoroughly but you may be getting rid of some irritating chemicals that are in your head.

I guess it was a good thing I cried during my entire dentist appointment yesterday. I think they thought I was crazy.... sounds like I need to cry more!!!
