How could ONE EIGHTH OF A PILL DO THIS to ME!?

[Guest [Lu...]]

I'm losing my mind. 1/8th of a low dose ginkgo pill. I went straight back to acute. My sleep is messed up, I can't eat, I feel retarded and psychotic, I can't stop crying. WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. HOW COULD AN EIGHTH OF A PILL DO THIS TO ME. I'm too sensitive to things. This is RIDICULOUS. I had a whey protein shake. SETBACK. Took a ZANTAC. Setback. Ate bread. SETBACK. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY VERY WRONG WITH MY BRAIN AND I NEED HELP. I CANNOT KEEP DOING THIS. I AM 145 POUNDS AND I'M 6 FOOT 3. I AM DYING.

I'm just gonna have to reinstate and taper. Something I should've done A LONG TIME AGO.

I wouldn't recommend that you reinstate but if you feel like you have no choice, it may be the only option Have you tried absolutely everything to calm yourself down? If you are on your own, go and see someone, friends or family for example.

[Guest [Lu...]]

Max, dude this isn't even right. I took 1/8th of a pill. I can't be mad at the ginkgo people, because this is just INSANE. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BRAIN TO HAVE THIS KIND OF REACTION.

Hey luigi just got skype get online lets talk, im feeling the same way and i think we can manage together to decide not to reinstate

[Guest [Lu...]]

I've fought and I've fought and I've fought and it doesnt matter. I've gone back to acute 4 times ROFL.

 

It doesn't matter.

I am really sorry that you are feeling so badly, but I would hate to see you reinstate after such short time use in the past.  It really comes with risks if you do. One, you risk kindling, where each subsequent withdrawal is worse than the previous one. Secondly, you could have a paradoxical effect, where it does just the opposite.  From your signature it looks like you only took benzodiazepines for two weeks. Look how sensitive you are to the medication. I would hate to have you have a worse outcome by reinstating. Were you considering a long taper?

Yes I think that's what I need to do.

Aaaah, my sweet jumping buddy, I'm so sorry to read this post!

 

I know you're feeling super freaked out now, but please try and keep your level head. Sure it could've been the gingko, but it just as easily might not be. There are so many variables in this crazy wd mess. Even different brands, or batches for that matter, can vary so much and one never really knows what the heck is really in this stuff anyway. Same with the bread and shakes, etc. Such is the nature of the wd beast, you can never really tell whether food is actually the culprit, unless you do test it out repeatedly of course.

 

You do need to try and put on some weight, Luigi! Can you make your own homemade shakes. Add almond butter, bananas, flax seeds, a raw egg, etc!

Yes!    Please, you two hold each other up! Please think clearly, guys, reinstating is such a poor choice. Such a poor, poor choice, and makes no sense whatsoever at this stage. You're playing with fire. Pure russian roulette. Please don't do anything in a state of panic that you know you'll so regret later.

Hey Luigi,

 

You really should talk to a counselor.  If you don't have one or can't afford one try your community mental health organization.  You need to get your thoughts under control and remember to breathe. Take 10 deep breaths and tell youself it's only half as bad as you think right now.  It seems worse when you are paniced!  Try to reamain strong-  Try not to reinstate.

 

You can do this. We are all going throught this together.

You have made it this far and in your heart you know reisntatement isn't the answer.  You have to suffer through this to eventually get your life back.  Why did you stop taking the benzo in the first place?  Remember that reason.  this will pass.  My month three to four was the worst.  I thought I was going to end up in a mental institution and I also thought I was in the "clear" after two months.  I am in now month seven and i am finally having really good days.  You can do this!!!
