thanks for the reply
I am not sure about a reduction quite yet. I am not sure if I should stablize or just go to zero. It could help or make the w/d worse. Hard to tell because 7.5 just made me more depressed. But I don't want to prolong the w/d....doctor doesn't have a good idea either. They don't seem to know much about withdrawal. Almost act like it isn't that bad and are quick to say it is just your original condition. If so, why all of the other symptoms?
I guess I am not suprised by the 6 weeks for you. I had a month of depression after my last benzo dose and then boom, I felt better. This is a more potent med and hits so many receptors. Waiting it out is rough though. I have to watch the excercise since it kind of revs up my body and makes sleeping more difficult. I don't want to "overcharge" my system right now, just want to limit all types of stress. I am limiting excercise to yard work and walking. It is funny but today I was naseated but around lunch was so hungary.
Did you have ups and downs in anxiety and depression? That is what is confusing. Today, less anxiety but more depression. Go figure. Thanks again for the reply. I will do some progressive muscle relaxation tonight.
