a slip

[[St...]]

Had tapered to 3.5 mg.  Yesterday morning after little or no sleep, I found a 5 mg valium.  In desperation I took it to try and get some rest.  No help.  Later in the day I took my regular dose of 3.5.  How should I proceed now?  Should I keep withy 3.5 to see what happens?  Thanks for any advice.

So sorry you're having trouble with insomnia.  If it were me I'd just proceed with my regular, consistent dose.

 

You've probably visited the Insomnia board before but it might be worth checking it out again.

 

Hang in there!

Just proceed and the 3.5mg you were already doing. Going up just once won't really do much damage.

Hi..been down the same road..been HOLDING at .75 Xanax for, gee, maybe a month..had a family issue come up last week..put me into an emotional tailspin..needless 2 say, I screwed up my taper with some extra Xanax..It is hard not 2 beat urself up about it but I have heard other folks on here and other boards to just continue on plodding forward the next day with ur taper..we are HUMAN..we make mistakes..:/ ..

I do not believe u will experience kindling (someone out there can correct me if I'm wrong)..

 

Keep on a' keepin' on....U got a few fellow sailors along on this trip with ya!!

One extra pill won't be a problem. Just get back on your regular dose from now on.
