Uncle, think I'm tapping out indefinitely...

Ok, I've fought so hard for SO long, suffering but hopeful.

 

But my inability to sleep and more importantly not eating (hardly anything), and increasing delirium type events coupled with new chest pains, left arm weakness ,& increasing palpitations & PVC's that feel like my heart is exploding, I think it's in MY best interest to reinstate, have a complete health work up, get my nutrition back under control & implement an exercise plan. That way I can be in the best shape possible when I decide to enter the battle again.

 

We've fought hard side by side for so long. Keep fighting, warriors! I fully expect to be reading your success stories soon!

Twinkle, so sorry to hear, but you are taking decisive action to get yourself into a live-able state. You will know when you are ready again.

 

All the best on your journey.

I reinstated on my original dose because I hadn't been able to eat my stomach was screwed up for a month and still is some. Constant panic attacks and I was fine before trying to taper. I was put on the med for a reason and I just decided I'm better off on it. I'm not gonna sit around sick thinking I'm dying 24 hrs a day. If I have to be on a med to function in life then so be it.

I had two horrific tapers, and reinstated twice to get out of harms way, was so sick and at the brink of death two times, took my time and now on third taper, and it has gone well, I guess I just wanted to Live more than be worried about what could or could not happen life is full of risks but when it is not livable any more then it is time to make some changes. I do agree that some may need to be on medications, but each one of us must make our choice to what is best for us. Stay Strong, and know that good things do happen but time and patience is key.

Twinkle...I have to say I don't blame you at all...this is such suffering..definitely get guidance. This horrible journey is not worth losing our lives...I'm sick daily and definitely thinking of how to do the same....maybe not on benzos, but there has to be some relief to get back some sense of normalcy.

I wish you all the best Twinkle and, if I'm honest, if I had the option of reinstating I would do so until my life becomes a little bit more stable. Again, best wishes and hope things get better for you.

Thanks for your support, everyone. Don't count me out just yet. I took a rescue dose today and while it helped my appetite and made me calm for a bit, I think I'm feeling worse tonight.

 

I'm just scared to death I've damaged my heart. Really scared.

 

I'll keep trying & see where it goes. No final decision made just yet.
