Is it Gabapentin w/d symptoms resurfacing, the Valium taper, or something else??

I am currently down to 2.15 ml of Valium a day, and after the most recent cut - about 3/100 of a ml about a week ago - I got hit this morning with nausea, a headache, and exhaustion. I work in a high school, so there are always stomach bugs about, but I am wondering if maybe I am getting low enough in my Valium taper to be re-experiencing the Gabapentin w/d symptoms, which felt very much like this. Except for the headache. I have been generally doing pretty well: I guess I am doing the long-hold-slow-taper thing - and have had more good days than bad. So could this 3/100 of a ml drop be enough to reveal the next layer? I do believe with many on these boards that we are essentially trying to heal our brains biochemically as well as socioemotionally as we taper, and I am taking a bunch of supplements I can truly see helping: magnesium, theanine, biotin, B6, and something called Calm - hoping that as I do this slow taper, my brain is healing and that I can more easily - ver time - handle the reductions....

Any feedback welcome

I got those nausea and headache symptoms when I made cuts, and they lasted several days. It could very likely be w/d from the Valium, I would guess.

Yup they are actually fading a bit as the day wears on - fingers crossed!!!
