Hi There

 

I have been doing really really well almost symptom free for 18 months daily microtapering by Valium down to .33mg. A week ago I went to Paris to meet my husband who was working there and then we drove from there down to the French Alps to ski for a few days. I felt a bit anxious about the skiing, but went ahead and did a few runs the first day. The 2nd day I wasn't feeling it so we went on a snowy woodland hike that ended up taking 4 hours round trip, with a brief stop for a drink halfway. It was about -6 but was well wrapped up so didn't feel the cold. I have not really done much exercise in the previous 18 months due to full time work and children commitments.  So, the next morning after the walk I woke up to the horrible old feelings of adrenaline rushes, anxiety, nausea, fear everything I had not missed.  Truly a 10 on the severity scale, back to my bed 

 

Is this just a reaction to all the heavy exercise? Should I just stay put on .33mg and wait it out. I am very scared to be feeling this bad when I had not had this happen for months and months. Any help/support gratefully received.

 

Thanks for listening.

I'm glad your taper has gone so well to this point.  I answered on your other post.
