facial numbness during Valium taper, need Advise !

[Guest [Kl...]]

Hi All,

 

  So I am tappering using the Aston protocol and the other day I tried to go too fast and got scary depressed and so I slowed down but I am noticing some facial numbness or what feels like ants under the skin of my face.  So question is:  should I just hold and wait for facial numbness to go away before my next dosage cut ?  Or is this going to be something I have to tolerate for the entire process.

thanks

Have the same thing going on but does give me a day or two of breaks ,as for holding not sure what to tell you and I hope a few more people reply to the face bit as I posted about it before and only got a couple replies !

thank you for responding, I wish others that have experienced this would reply.  It is still happening so I am still holding but it is annoying kind of like the itching you get after the dentist when the anesthetic is wearing off.

If it were me I would hold until most of your symptoms drop off. You'll feel a lot better.  --V

I think what symptoms a person gets, how severe and how long they last is very individual. It varies from person to person.

 

I had weak & numb hands, right leg and right foot. I remember for 1-2 days I started to feel it in my face to, but it went away.

 

My numbness lasted throughout my taper, but did gradually went away as I tapered down. Possibly hold for a while , since you mentioned that you were going fast, and see if the numbness goes away. If not, it's something you may have to just deal with, but remember it will eventually go away for good.

 

I now lift heavy weights 3 times a week and am becoming pretty strong. I could of not done that by any means during withdrawal.
