Rapid detox, I know it's not reccomended, however.. In my case what do you guys

[[Mo...]]

Think? I'm Still at 100 mgs of Librium Im already going through tolerence wd. The county down here will not Rx me benzos but has offered if There is a bed open to put me into detox. I've tried tapering as my signature says and failed. I'm Very med sensetive have two little girls. My lscw I showed her the sticky post, ive shown her videos. But she thinks if theres a .0001% chance that I could come out of this ok I should take it. For the sake of my girls and not wanting to be like this anymore which is a total mess. I mean you can only go so high on Librium and then once Im maxed out at the max what do I do? Ive been on them for a year now, she makes a good point that waiting another 6 months or a year Im going to be in an even worse place. But I was hospitalized in the mental hospital up north back in July at 93 mgs. That's how severe the wds were for me bedridden at 93 mgs and hopeless. I value your guys input especially those of you that know me. Thank you for your time. Let me know what you think. Mo2

Many people sadly have to keep tapering while in severe tolerance w/d. In my opinion that's a far better solution than any detox. 100 mg of Librium = 40 mg of Valium. I'm sure you have read all the threads regarding feedback others have given to those considering detox. My answer would be it's not a wise decision.

I would try my best to taper but I know your having problems.  You don't want to be taking off cold turkey.  It's a nightmare and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  Is there another option for you?

Cold turkey isn't fun. To say the least.

I've tried tapering in the past we are talking by 1 mg capsules and at 93 was put in the psychward. I was also bedbound so Then they updosed me again, moved down to so cal in Aug Old Dr. From up north updosed again. Now Im in tolerance nausiated down to 135 lbs from 240. I'm 31 so I don't have a retired husband that can help me through this. Staying at my in laws but they both work. So I really don't have anyone to take care of me through this. I Have chills and strange dreams, muscle spasms, deep depression. They won't updose me offered me a very rapid taper out paitient 25 mg cut thats 1/4. I Was supposed to start that weeks ago but I couldn't. I couldn't taper 5 mgs so them wanting to taper 25 seems unreal. My 3 year old seems more compitant than I am.

I personally would not go to a detox center if at 93 mg, I was bedridden with severe withdrawals. Stopping benzodiazepines abruptly can cause severe and prolonged symptoms. The symptoms going from 100 mg to 0 could be absolutely brutal. I detoxed and went through a horrific withdrawal with excruciation mental pain and torment. In my opinion it is a bad idea.

I understand your suffering because I've been there. I've also cold turkeyed. It is way worse.Keep posting. We are here for you

Trust me I didn't really know pain until a ct. Brutal and still brutal almost eight months later.

Only other option I might have is tapering 5 mgs a month. But I wasn't on the doxepin before im at 35 mg and it definitely gives me tinnitus. The question is whether or not I can get through it when I couldn't get through it before. I mean I felt like I was going to pass out walking from my room to the kitchen. Body twitches which I still have and seem to be worse with the doxepin. But I was put on the doxepi  cause of my severe depression. I read that doxepin worked for some people but this is the worst time of hear for me every year. I Can barely take care of myself right now and when I was tapering before I had to have caregivers for my kids and I. The phsical and mental symptoms were un areable but nothing like now, now my memory is totally shot Im freezing and crying spells way worse. I Ha e horrific nightmeres the slightest amount of stress which is all the time sets me off. I really need help would it make sense to drop the doxepin?

I've CT'ed twice and went into psychosis twice...it was not pretty. Both CT's were the most horrific experiences of my life. The first reinstatement worked to a certain degree until I started tapering. The 2nd reinstatement didn't work at all even at high doses, the only thing it is doing is barely keeping me out of CT withdrawal that's it. I feel like crap all the time, I've lost a ton of weight and am rapid tapering because I'm very sick from the drug. It has ruined my life and I cannot get out of bed barely at all.

Detox is horrible, but for me, it was preferable compared to wallowing in deep depression and tolerance. I couldn't cut on my own.

My detox was on a high quality inpatient psych ward. Antidepressants helped and I have been able to substantially reduce my doses in the last two months
