C/T lexotan and valium. Acute has hit need support please!

[[ma...]]

I took 14 pills of 1.5mg lexotan over a period of about 2 weeks to try and calm down some major panic attacks due to a quinolone 10 months ago and 1x 2.5mg valium in ER 3 days ago

 

Do i have to taper this or can i just stop? Its been 3 days and i feel awful anxiety and chest tightness and muscle twitches head preassure, ears tensing up, sound sensitivity.

Its been 2 days and i'm having symptoms hitting and wondering if i should reinstate or just ride this out. symptoms are: anxiety, chest tightness, insomnia, head pressure and muscle stiffness in arms

Sounds like acute withdrawal.. I'd try and ride it out..if u cant, reinstate and taper. Tapering is always best..

hmmm i think i am going to ride this out if i can. i really didn't want to take them in the first place and they didnt even really help to be honest. i am going to push through it

As miserable as those symptoms are they are classic of acute withdrawal.  I had all of them you listed outside of the chest tightness. My head pressure was the most horrific pain I have ever felt in my life. It brought me to my knees many times and landed me in the ER multiple times. The acute period is when symptoms are their very worst. However, this does not go on forever. The acute period lasts about a month, and most feel noticeable relief after. Mine lasted about 23 days. It was horrible. After that my head pressure left as well as my panic attack. I still had symptoms but nothing like that acute period After that I could conquer anything and conquer I did over the next year. I personally would not reinstate. That is a personal decision you have to make.

Hi marct456, I quit cold turkey in rehab and it has been the hardest thing I have ever done in my  life. I got out on 11/26/15. It took me a while to figure out what is wrong with me but I found this forum and found like minded ppl. So many people have and are still trying to convince me I'm crazy so I got used to that. I considered going back on and tapering but in the end I decided not to do it and I'm glad I came to that realization.

 

It is totally up to you, if I could make it without and live though it, I did without.

Thanks folks

Yeah i am not going to reinstate i mean its not fun but i can handle these symptoms and push through this as horrible as it is. don't think its worth it reinstating after 2 weeks of use. The head pressure really sucks but i found that Liposomal GABA and L-Theanine seems to make it bearable. Should be alot better in a couple weeks.

Hey Folks

I am 4 days off from some low doses of lexotan over the last 2 weeks on and off due to a traumatic experience.

The symptoms are killing me i am very anxious and ears sensitive and burning in arms.

 

I really don't want to reinstate at this point. any advice if this is a good idea?

My doctor doesn't want to prescribe anymore at this point either. Is this a full relapse into acute?
