Developed paradoxical during taper. Need rapid withdrawal.

[[Tr...]]

The same happened me. I was on 2-3mg xanax daily for 7-8 years and it worked well for my anxiety, until one day when I suddenly got paradoxical reactions after taking my dose. I couldn't do an proper taper as I couldn't take the xanax longer, so I did an rapid taper (near CT).

 

I can relate to your symptoms 100%

anxiety or chemical fear, burning, caustic sensations in body, agitation or feeling amped up, muscle fascinations, inner tension, tinnitus.

 

Sometimes I wonder if this "paradoxical" could be a sign of tolerance withdrawal?

 

How are you doing now?

 

Camela—how did you feel after jumping? Did the WD get a lot worse compared to the paradoxial? I’m feel bad now so I don’t want to make it much worse. I’m weighing out the pros and cons of holding to try and stabilize then cutting big or daily cuts again or just jumping soon.
