Hi All

 

I have been on a very long slow taper from 6mg diazepam using daily microtapering with holds. I was doing fantastically well and was almost there at .33mg when I seriously overdid things with stress and hard exercise and crashed badly. I had symptoms I had not suffered in 18 months. I tried a small updose to .50 for a couple of days with no help, I stupidly took 6mg on Sunday and then have been taking 2mg for the past 4 days. Yesterday I felt better but today is bad again. I also have hormone stuff happening which doesn't help.

 

I am wondering where to go from here? Stick at 2mg and wait for things to calm down and then taper down again? I am not worried about how long this will take, so if I have to stabilise and start down microtapering again I will. Do you think I will eventually stabilise at 2mg - I am tempted to go up to 4mg to get back out of bed. I am due to start a new job on Monday and can't do it like this.

 

Thanks for listening.

Dont underestimate the role of the exercize...  -i seriously overdid it a couple of weeks ago, and all hell broke lose... plus i was pushing the cuts too much... and i ate wrong etc...

am holding, and its doable... but im not starting a new job...!!

Dont have an answer, but i do hope it works out ok...

Same here, though exercise gives me relief, not the opposite. Maybe just 2 mg?

Yeah, im not saying normal exercise relative to what ur used to...

I meant fatigue inducing out of the norm type exercice...

It seems regular exercice has many benifits... i hope to find out for sure one day soon...

MAA, how are things progressing?

Hi Cantfly

 

Unfortunately, no better since I updosed. I know updoses can sometimes take a while to work so I am just hanging in minute by minute

I got my fingers crossed for u...

Ur sig shows the hard work, and i imagine u had a fair idea of how much to go up...

 

Fwiw, if i had to guess, my stupid big good day of insane exercize added on roughly a week, but thats rough guessing... things seem to get touchy at low doses...

 

So i hope u come good any second now...

And best wishes for ur new job... U will do great!!!
