Day 17 = .5 mg

Day 19 =.5 mg plus .5 mg

Cold Turkey!

 

 

Symptoms started Day 21 - Vivid Dreams

Day 22 - Burning Sensation throughout body

waking up with heart palpitations

Day 23- Difficulty Swallowing Food

Day 24 - Feeling cortisol and Adrenaline flowing all through my body

Day 25 - Insomnia

Day 26 - Shakes/Tremors/Head Fog

KlonoCurious,

 

Very likely that your taper was too fast.  You might check with your doc on a taper schedule.  By only being on 9 days, your symptoms shouldn't last very long.

 

A prayer for you!

Since i am already 10 days into the withdrawal..and have had no seizures, please tell me i don't have to taper..i hope the symptoms will end soon...and that i don't have any protracted symptoms..which i believe are common with long time users only??

Physical dependence after less than a month of usage? Wow. I was physically dependent after exactly 30 days also though so it's not that surprising I guess. I don't think you should reinstate as long as your life is not in danger. Stay strong. Hopefully your path of healing will be a quick one.
