I posted on withdrawal and recovery support. But it seems no one sees my post.... other posts posted around the same day (today )and same time have been seen a lot of times and been answered several times? I can understand if buddies cannot react because maybe they cannot relate to what I am describing of something like that ... but 0 visitors/readers ... I must have done something wrong with the post. please let me know if I did . good evening for you all.... if you can read this :-\

Paja, what are you experiencing now? Are you ok?

 

Tiny

thanks for your concerns dear Tiny,

since I had a maybe you can call it a rebound it is bad.

 

I was tapering and it was heavy but tolerable, once in a while I could go and do short errants . See people for one hour or so . but than at 7mg oxazepam I collapsed, stressed out the whole day , feeling I was dying and the pain everywhere , totally stressed out, muscle cramps all over my back and neck cannot stand light nor sound cannot sit down just pacing all day..no sleep at night. And I kept on wondering how long can a body endure this type of stress.

 

Now I am allready two to three weeks on hold, stabilizing on 7.5 mg .

It is endurable again... but not stabile... still short attacks .. and the infection in my throat worries me.

I am so scared all the time .... no one who has not experienced this .. understand.. they say to me you have to be strong. You cannot let such a small pill get you down. But it does.. :'( it is allready going on for month and months and I am exhausted.

 

Yesterday I got a whole new symptom. My legs are feeling very very weak I walked up some stairs and than it started. This morning I stepped out of bed and it felt as if I have runned a marathon all night. Totally new... never had this feeling before... horrible ..does it never ends..

 

sorry I just had to ventilate and to cut it short :-[ :'( i am not ok ... but I am trying my best.

 

hope you are better and on course of your trip to healing. all the best paja

It's hard for people to respond when you don't have a "signature" listing your taper history.  See mine for an example.  People don't know or can't guess how you may have run into difficulties.  I would "guess" that you may need to slow things down and, also, that a new symptom is wd from recent cuts simply manifesting.  It can take weeks for the effects of a cut to appear - a delayed wd sx, if you will.  This is common and has happened to me and many here.

 

I would go up top to "forum profile" and put a signature up.

Thank for your reaction Lynn,

You are right I donnot have a signature as you call it. I did not know how to do that :-[ . And on top of that I did not keep track as you did. but I was planning to do so but can make rough estimated schedule for now. I understand it makes it more understandable or better traceable.

 

Have a good day and the best for you

I'm challenged when it comes to all things "tech" but a signature is pretty easy.

 

Move your cursor to Profile up top and there will be a drop down.  Click on Forum Profile.  Scroll down to the large box and type in your taper history and click on Change Profile in the right corner.  It really is helpful to those wanting to respond to your posts.

Hi Paja, hope things settle out soon for you, I would imagine Lynn is correct in her suspicions that its WD from tapering too fast... It has taken, or is taking a long time for some of my symptoms to do their thing... some were gone in a couple of weeks, some it seems are taking months... But we are all different, so dont assume the worst...

My best wishes...

 

Does anyone know the Valium equivalents here??

Pls chime in...

hi cantfly thanks my best wishes for you too.

I donnot know for what equivalents you are looking for but in ashtons manual there are described a lot of benzos and its equivalents. Maybe I misunderstood the question but maybe not and you can find your answer there.  :thumbsup:

Hi Paja. Sorry you feel alone. We all are suffering the same symptoms as you. I recall the pacing days with no peace. I just wanted you to keep in mind that stabilizing doesn't mean you feel really well. It just means that symptoms are a little more even and tolerable.

 

You also have the added enemy of taking both a benzo and a z drug. Believe me the z drug is just as hard to get off of as the benzo. That said, I would still taper the benzo first.

 

The sad part is all you really can do is allow time to heal you. Many here have tried alternatives, and some may ease a few symptoms, but in the end, it is time that heals. Keep your cuts low and slow and it seems to give a better outcome.

thanks for your caring words. for me the biggest eneymy is de lack of sleep.

the thing is you need people when you are in such a state as mine. But no one can stand it... they all find it to difficult see mee suffering.  Everyone wants to go on with his /her life.  Even my partner with whom I am living in his house for a year now .He recently told me when I was very sick and he was annoyed that we/he had to miss out on a couple of outings ' life just goes on you know' . It hurted so much and I was immediately very scared that we had to break up... he cannot cope me being that ill.. he does the shoppings ..al things outdoor the practical things. But he cannot mentally, emotionaly, support me its is to much to understand for him. It is indeed hell you get a peek into that is not nice for nobody. But I am the one who is burning and it hurts. worse thing of I do not know how long it will take.

sorry for this very dark post but I had a very short bad night . Hope so I can post a better story soon.
