How is everyone feeling during their journey/withdrawal today?

[[si...]]

Just thought I would make a topic where everyone can share their opinions, the dosages they were or are still on and how they are feeling; symptoms, feelings, what is going on in your brains. I'd love us all to have a thread where we can all share.

 

Looking forward to hearing all of your stories. 

 

and I'm wishing the best for all of you.

Feeling hopeless. Im one week into the 6th month after jumping and still struggling really badly with muscle symptoms. Very debilitated  :'(

Feeling very discouraged; haven't been on this long and it feels like an eternity; my life as it was before April 20th-a mere memory. Hoping for better days

I've had physical pain today. My stomach muscles felt like they were being twisted in knots. Have a headache and body hurts a bit. I normally don't get the physical pain. It's more mental cuz I fight the feeling too much sometimes. Ears are ringing too but my outlook is still positive. Good luck with your Xanax taper. Hope all is well.

I'm doing well today and have been for a while now. I'm holding through summer so I can enjoy some traveling.

Feeling frustrated, discouraged, anxious, angry, agitated and depressed. I upped back to .25 K but I need to take Ativan because I feel so anxious I can't function. Sometimes it's hard to think or see straight. Everyday I wake up with heart palpitations that last almost all day. Evenings are a little better but by then I'm to exhausted to do anything.

Hi everyone.  Today is a bad day.  Didn't get out of bed until 11am trying to get laundry done and was supposed to clean the house today.  It is so up and then down for me lately.  I am tapering Diazepam 1mg every 10 days.  Due to taper on the 13th.  I am at 9mg at this time.  Depression and sadness are by far my worst sxs.  I am also in a lot of physical pain mostly my neck and  shoulder.  Singsparkle, how are you feeling?  Wishing all better health soon. GeeGee.

I've felt good for awhile now but I am holding for the summer because I want to have fun!!!  I will resume taper in September.  Down from 6-8mg Xanax to .3125mg.  All wd sxs gone except minor intermittent tinnitus.

Not a good day, but getting out of the house is the ticket. My wife and I saved an injured bird, took it to a local emergency animal care facility, who hopefully will be passing it on to a bird sanctuary for care, healing and than release. Than off to a tile store for a project my wife is working on in our home.

 

I am convinced more and more, that no matter what each day is like, a moving target is better than one that is idle.

 

For me being in the house may seem comforting, but being alone with my thoughts and feelings, just has me in a worse place.

 

What we think is who we are (not discounting what we are all personally dealing with). There is always a ray of sunshine, in each situation. You just have to find it for yourself.

whatever they might be
