Yes, this is acute and it hurts as you know well, I'm sorry you're suffering so much.  I like what you wrote though, you said you have to accept and this is what will help you get through this, because the only way out is through. 

 

Educate yourself about why you're feeling this way because knowledge helps us push back the fear.  Read What is happening in your brain to help you see what a giant task your brain has right now, and know that recovery is happening even through your pain.

 

You can expect things to be difficult but if you read chapter 3 of  The Ashton Manual you'll see your symptoms listed, why you feel them and why you shouldn't be afraid of them.

 

Keep coming here for support because the drug is telling you lies right now so you need us to help you see you can recover, your body is designed to heal itself, so you just have to give it the freedom to do just that.

Welcome to BenzoBuddies Ralf1!

Based on your "signature" symptoms it seems you are experiencing typical, acute withdrawal symptoms. They are scary, uncomfortable but as long as you know they are the result of your taper it is easier to tolerate the physical and emotional symptoms. They will surely resolve with time. Everyone is different some people handle the process better than others. Please look around on BenzoBuddies posting boards such as Cold Turkey, Detox & Rapid Withdrawal You can ask questions, share your experiences with others. Much, much easier to go on this road to recovery with others like yourself who understand and share your experiences.

There are certainly ways to ease some of the withdrawal symptoms. Find the discussion regarding Other Medications .

We are all here to help one another, the best we can.
