Day 14 of hold - need support


[Ti...]

Recommended Posts

Hi buddies,

 

I have been tapering fast thinking to get off Ativan because I have such a negative reaction to it.  I looked at my percentages recently and the last one 14 days ago was 35%.  I have some travel coming up in June and I thought I'd be way better off if I was off it completely.  Now I'm way slowed down but the sxs seem stronger in the past day and it's been 14 days.

 

Ideas on when these very intense sxs will ease after that cut? 

 

Thanks! Tiny

Hi Tinypillow,

I wish I had that answer for you. I tapered too quickly in the beginning and took a 2 month hold period. It took a lot of that time to feel stable again and symptoms that I'd thought passed came back during that time.  There does seem to be an ebb and flow to this process. My best advice is to ride the wave and know it will pass at some point. I know some people up dose, but I'm not educated enough to advise on that. Best to you!! I know you can do this!!!! Slow and steady...

I think I have tapered too quickly, as well, and now I'm off after my final dose and thinking I went too quickly. I wish I had advice but I am just pushing through every day, thinking that if the next day is not better, I will try restarting and tapering again. This has given me a way to get through each day.

Thank you to both of you. I'm continuing to hold and it's been rough on and off.

 

Thinking about and praying for us all.
