How could a 5% cut hit me this hard

[[Ru...]]

I was at .5 Mgs k and made a 5% cut 7 days ago. I feel nauseated, dizzy, full body pain, heart palps, fatigue to the point that getting up to go to the washroom is almost too much ( throws my heart off too and I get short of breath) and anxiety. Oh and burning muscles.

 

How could such a small cut hit me so hard?

I was doing ok before the cut.

 

I also have pms

Forgot to mention the head pressure and face pain

I can't believe how physically incapacitated this god dam withdrawal is making me. This is insane and sub human torture

TRY MAKING A SMALLER CUT.

I'M DOING A LIQUID TAPER AND AS OF MONDAY I REMOVED 0.03mL which  IS LITERALLY 3 TINY DROPS AND STARTING LAST NIGHT I FELT LIKE CRAP.

 

5% MAY BE TO MUCH FOR YOU.  TRY REDUCING AT A LESSER RATE AND SEE IF IT HELPS.

 

I KNOW THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING.  HANG IN THERE...YOU WILL FIGURE OUT WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU.

 

WARMTH,

Wow flutter, you can feel a cut that small?

 

I guess that makes a 5% cut quite large

[[Ru...]]

How long will I feel this cut before it gets better?

When I made a 5.8% cut, it hit me kinda hard with nausea.  I was surprised that I was hit that hard with a 5.8% cut.

 

Most recent cut, I went down to 4% cut, and it was better.  Not perfect, but better.

 

So sorry you are feeling bad. 

 

Time will help.

This is brutal. I am totally non functional today and in torment physically and mentally.

[[Ru...]]

And I literally feel like I am dying

I sure can! Did I say I have held for the last 2 weeks due to SX's. I started feeling better...So, Monday I re*started my taper.  The 2 weeks I held I was at 16.5mL and Monday I reduced 16.6mL today I am at 16.8mL.

 

Yesterday, I started having nausea, headache, blurred vision, fingers not working right and so on.  So IMO, for me a 5% cut would probably put me down   I am now doing a SX based taper.  It works better for me.

 

I hope your SX's calm down and you start feeling better.

Is wd really supposed to make you feel this sick?

 

Is this normal?

[Guest [...]]

It can be , for sure.

I didn't tolerate a 5% cut either when I dry cut.

I switched to a liquid taper and cut off 0.05 mgr daily,with holds when I feel unwell. But I'm taking Valium , so don't go with my numbers in any case

All the symptoms you describe are common in Wd.

 

Sorry this happened...

Maybe hold for a while and make a smaller reduction next time around.

 

But I do know the symptoms, too.

Especially the nausea, heart palps and feeling wiped out. Just sick. Real,sick.

I usually get bad tinnitus and vertigo too,p. Those are my first signs to slow down..

Best to you, Ruby...

Poor Ruby, feel better soon.

This is brutal. I am totally non functional today and in torment physically and mentally.

I couldn't have said it better myself. "Torment physically and mentally." And I didn't even make a cut, I'm just crossing back over  to xanax.

I've cut 5% every two weeks from the very beginning and have had little trouble. I never even notice when I make a cut. Now that I am down to less than 1 mg of kpin, I finally, for the first time, felt that drop. It lasted 13 days. Then back to baseline. Now I plan to drop by about 3%. Bets

[[Ru...]]

Hey bets what was your worst day.

I can so relate to this. I cut a quarter of a 5mg pill this week and I look at it in my pill cutter.... It seems SO tiny! How can such a tiny minus have such a huge impact!

 

It boggles my mind
