[pi...] Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 5 MONTHS post CT -> mental state between 50-70% (swings week to week day to day). Physical wanes between 30-70%. Sleep has come back as big issue. Back to 2-3 hour bursts and zombie state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[bl...] Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 almost 16 months, and about 90% thought lately it's been closer to 99% ... at this point, how I feel almost entirely depends on how I cope with external stressors though, there's no mysterious force causing me anxiety, so I get stronger and more capable with everything I handle.

[on...] Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 14 months out - I am probably 75-80 percent overall. During a window I am at 95 percent and during a wave I am dragged back down to around 60- 70 percent- but the waves are less often and much shorter. Windows are more frequent and more my norm.

[Re...] Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 5.5 months. Windows 30-40%, waves 0-10%. I definitely feel worse than the average for my dosage and duration the worst so far on this poll. :( Hey ggbtd. We're in a somewhat similar boat. I am amazed at how I feel for the dosage and duration I was on benzos. I stopped taking ativan after 1mg for 11 days. Anyway, I've said my story many times but I'm 4 months and one week out from my too rapid valium taper (after a 1.5 day cross-over), and still suffering. To be fair, I've had windows of 70-75%. In fact, the other day I mentioned in a post how I thought I was 60 to 70 percent healed and then yesterday got hit by another wave. To be fair, it's not the worst wave ever by far and I feel like I can still be somewhat functional. But it's just so bizarre to have been prescribed a benzo for insomnia, use it 11 days, and end up dependent on it AND be in post-acute withdrawal for over 4 months since jumping. So, I guess at the end of the day I'm still having waves and windows. I have had a fairly good window for the last 2.5 weeks. I've felt about 70%. I'm in a wave (started day before yesterday) and today I feel about 30%-40%. The thing is, I'm still on gabapentin, so I'm not completely free of meds. I've got another 216mg to taper from gabapentin. It's a pretty low dose, but we all know that that doesn't mean much when it's the effect of the cut that matters. I don't think the gabapentin is actually the problem. I think it's my benzo withdrawal that gets revealed if I cut the gabapentin too much. It's a bit baffling to manage!!! Oh well, at one point I couldn't imagine I'd make it this far, so that's encouraging. So, yeah I have some windows where I am 70%. I'd be closer to 80% or 90% in those windows if I could get some good sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
