Having Tapered Off Oxycontin And Viibryd. Caused Sertonin Toxicity. Suffer Excessive Sweating. How Long Will The Symptoms Be?

I have tapered off 50mg of oxycontin so far and cold turkey off of soma; now I have to taper off of Viibryd bbecause it caused serotonin toxicity. One of the with drawal symptoms from the other meds is excessive sweating, while the excessive sweating was a sign of the serotonin poisoning. This has been going on for over two months. How much longer before the withdrawal symptoms are done, and what can be done to stop the excessive sweating? that is the worse right now..more so than the nausea, chills, weakness...etc. My concern is the withdrawals off the opiates and soma caused the excessive sweating, but the sweating that was a warning from serotonin poisoning are two separate issues and I am ready to check into organic ways to stop these withdrawals as they are debilitating to my life....I don't have the energy to do anything but sleep. I've heard that 5htp with vitamin B6 and C. I've checked everywhere online....places like Neuro Genetic WWW.WWWW.WW ..Do you have any suggestions? The withdrawals are going on 3 months now and I can't take anymore.

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
You have probably stopped the drugs altogether by yourself.
The drugs should have been tapered off slowly under cover of weaning medicines in consult with a clinician.
Your system is reacting badly to the discontinuation.
There is no home remedy or any organic concoction that can do magic.
You need to consult a local clinician, you will need support of prescription drugs called benzodiazepines alongwith additional supplements, you doctor will know.
You should be proactive, getting late may bring more troubles.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
