Morning Anxiety

[[Jo...]]

Nasty morning.  I woke up at 5:30 am and was okay.  Doxed back off for 45 minutes and woke up in terror. 

 

Its been 8 days since my last cut from 6.5 to 6.0 V.  God, I hate mornings.  Yesterday I felt so good I was going to quit cold turkey.  Go figure

as you prob know this is normal. what helped me in acute is seroquel 50mg (night before), and vitamin c in the morning + a morning walk. now 8 weeks post jump my toxic mornings are definitely gone.

Thanks for the replies all. 

 

Yeah, Big low pressure has come in with snow and rain in the forecast.  I feel it all through me, not in a good way. 

 

In my next life I will be qualified as a human weatherman.  Its time to move to Arizona.

Thanks for the suggestion.  But I dont do well on any chemicals.  About the only thing I can take that doesn't jack me up is Tylenol, and Ibuprofen. 

 

And I already exercise as much as I can which quite a bit.  Right now I hate every minute of it.

Much better today.  This process is so freaking unpredictable.  Feel so good today I am going to quit cold turkey again (not serious). 

 

Its nice to get windows though.  I know many are not that lucky. 

 

Its tempting to analyze this to death, but I am not convinced there is any particular rhyme, reason, or patterns to any of this.

I no longer have any set pattern of withdrawal. Its all unpredictable from month to month, cut to cut. And yes my mornings can often be a nightmare then around lunch time I come around and its tolerable. I had no idea this was a fairly common thing til I found this forum.

 

ha, but i hear ya, when youre feeling "better" itsl ike the heck with this, im dropping all this stuff NOW. CT. Then a day later its stumbling around in hell. arghhhh

I woke up about an hour ago. Enjoying my coffee right now. So far no anxiety but I almost went back to bed and glad I didn't. When I go back to bed I often get rocked with terror when I wake up. No idea why. I'd love the extra sleep but it's not worth it. It's burr cold here too. Minus 30 last night. No walks for me. Yes this business is really unpredictable so guess we just go with it as best as we can. Yesterday I was flat on my back but have had the flu so I'm writing it off to that. It's been miserable from the west coast to the east. Arizona was in our plans in fact we should be there by now. But we're snowed in. The longer we wait the more nervous I get about the trip though. And now I'll probably need to phone my doctor for some extra Remeron because he only gave me four months worth but enough extra Valium so ok there. I too have days where I want to just cold turkey because the Valium itself is making me sick. But instead I've been making smaller cuts faster and so far, so good. It would be so nice to travel just once without pills. At times they feel like an albatross around my neck. In fact it would be nice just not to need pills at all. Oddly never thought about that until recently. It gets so frustrating. B

Hi Barb, I hope your sending some of the high pressure system this way to Southern Ontario. 

 

You haven't updated your sig. but said your making smaller cuts faster.  Can you elaborate?

 

Thanks, Al.

Lol no idea what we're sending your way but we're due for a Chinook starting Friday that if it sticks around we just might get away. One never knows. Ya I should update my sig. I messed up though. Was very happy on 9 mg from 12 with .5 cuts roughly every five days. Then something bad happened early December and I went back to 12. Now I'm back on 9 very quickly. Updosing was a big mistake. Felt even worse. So I'm trying the .5 reductions until I can "no more". I feel better on the lower dose. B

Good luck with your cut tomorrow. We have a break in the weather, sort of, so will try and send the good stuff your way. It's bad when you feel like minus 11 is downright balmy! B
