I'm a single mom.Just jumped from lorazepam. I was on it for 4 weeks, started at .5mg twice a day down to .125mg once a day, did that kind of for 6 days, then jumped.Im scared i have tingling, and muscle jerks.Im so afraid of a seizure. How are you?

Hi Marie, I haven't started my taper yet,,but I'm nervous about the whole thing,,how was your taper?

I think I tapered to fast.But I was not on it that long in the first place. I'm having trouble sleeping, and I get tingling and heart palpitation. I think the best thing is a slow gradual taper.Their is a lot of good info on this site.

Single mom here, didn't taper. I've been benzo free six months. Still having withdrawal sxs, can be such a nightmare.

Im a single mom, but, with a support boyfriend... well, i guess he's supportive, he just doesn't understand why i can't just quit taking the meds. I've tried to explain but of course it's "all in my head"!! I'm currently taking .125 AM & .125 PM of Klonpin. and I want off soooooo badly! I haven't been on for long either, June14-but long enough to know im addicted i guess. I'm nervous about the taper procress!

 

Shadow Cat- how did you do it? What did you experience when you jumped?

Buckeye,  Hello . I didn't jump... I wish i had done things different. I cold turkeyed.  I'm having such a hard time with it physically and mentally and emotionally. Tons of misgivings, and how I wish I had done things different.  I think things could be worse, but they could be a lot better w/o ever having taken a benzo.
