Hahaaa TT,

Me too. I would have had a meltdown. I feel like im being judged to. If I ask the pharmacist a benzo question I feel like they think im an addict. I hate it.  You can't even say benzo and everyone wants to run the other way. I hate this experience it is traumatizing. You will be fine. You will get your pres and be fine. I feel that way everytime and it works out fine. Have a great halloween! Sounds like alot of fun!!! I love looking at the kids in their costumes. They are so adorable!!! Love dd

I hate getting the stink eye from Pharmacists.  Just shut up and do your job!

Amen sister! Keep your silent loud thoughts to yourselves white coats 😤

So right Suzy Q it is a verrrrrry traumatizing experience. I hate that people don't know what we REALLY go through.

 

I like seeing the kids too in their costumes. I always liked Halloween. It's much easier then Christmas although I do love Christmas too 😁

 

Maybe cutting tomorrow will be good luck for me or magical it's the one night of the year when the veil is thin between this world and the next 🤔.. Eh who my kidding?! It'll be another shitty benzo brained day with people looking like the freak show that's going on in my head from benzos 😂😂

I'm lovin'  this group. I hope your days go good.

 

MY Doc is later this afternoon - "fear"??  So to be sure "taper" was Do-Able - I stopped @ my Phramacist yesterday...

 

Told him what's going on, & I'd heard I can't just "wean off" in a few weeks, and asked will .5's be a probl..? He interruptied: "Like white on rice" - Briefly hit all the "Key Points" probably left out 'cross over' cause I'm not there yet... ending with it's vital to make smaller cuts at end... (DAMMIT) Maybe he's done this before? More will be revealed.

 

ISYN - it seemed the young Pharmacist knew 'Ashtons' from the inside out

SMH! It's not "plain luck" - surely there's lesser Pharmacist's out there, but if where you "shop" seems impatient, or doesn't have time? Take your business down the street... Find a Pharma that's invested in communicating & being available for you...

 

Hope this helps others...

I consulted my pharmacist a few months ago.  He basically said the same thing.  He also recommended long periods of not tapering, just maintaining and letting symptoms subside.

Hello everyone,

Trying to keep up but there’s a lot going on here.  Going trick or treating with the granddaughters tomorrow night!  It’s actually very cool fall weather here so it should be a good time.

 

I’m more and more active at work which is good. My symptoms are mainly physical anymore like sore eyes, tight stomach, and easily tired.  Don’t miss the agoraphobia, dysautonomia, at all.

 

  I’ve had a cold or flu the last week or so.  That’s thrown me into more of a wave, not feeling that well the last few days.  It is hard to tell what’s withdrawal and what’s plain old sick tho!  I’m going to hold a couple more days until this virus passes.  Hopefully I come out of this feeling even better than before.

 

Mary I hope you feel better soon.  Hopefully you’re starting to see some gradual improvement.  Trishy, good luck with your next cut.  I’m not going to try any math...  just gonna let you go on your own!

 

Take care everyone!

Bill

Hey Bill - I sure don't miss agoraphobia either!!!!! It was the worst!!!!

 

Goodnight LHSG, you are all angels

Hi Bill, so glad you checked in. Sorry to here you've been sick and I agree it is hard to tell sometimes what's wd and plain old sickness or even what's just a regular bad day.

I'm sorry to here you won't be doing math for me anymore.. Not sure who will figure out how many pizza slices+ apples I have to eat in Xanax 😂

I too am going trick or treating with my grandchildren. I throw them a little party, more like we eat a lot, then we go out around my neighborhood. The weather here is awful, not fall like at all, it's warmer then usual and rainy not at all New England weather 😣 we'll be walking with umbrellas tonight.

Hope you feel better soon and enjoy those grandkids tonight!

Be well,

Trish

Good morning LHSG hoping everyone has a better day.

Good morning Final l am so sorry you are feeling worse.l think we can all relate.Now l just want to say l really feel you should stay where you are for a period of time.I am not saying this lightly however this is your third taper and your brain needs time to adjust.l don't know how long you held between tapers however the standard here is at least 6 months.You may find if you do hold you may find your cuts not so debilitating.This really isn't about what you want it's about what you need so think carefully honey.lt really is up to you.l know klonopin isn't helping you however it is time you gave your brain time to adjust to all the changes.You can do this however you have to be patient and know that when the time is right you will get off these drugs and heal.love to you.

Morning Twiny is Rich snoring again?🤔😜 Well you do what you think is right honey however don't overstretch yourself cut's wise.So you are going trick or treating l assume no mask is required 😘. Only a wee joke my lovely.l will be sending over some size 10 jeans so try not to panic.Anyway you enjoy Halloween and give those beautiful babies plenty of hugs from me.Love you my lST.X

Morning Suzy hang in there my love you are anxious due to all the changes in meds nothing more.Don't overthink this and just take it as it comes.As unpleasant as it is it is harmless.love you.

Morning GP feed that poor 🐕.l don't think a pill dispenser is very nutritional.l hope you are feeling better honey.love to you.

Intend if you are on could you drop us a little post please.l am worried about you honey.love to you and Dan.

  Morning Bill regardless of whether it is withdrawal or viral it is a sign to say hold.l only knew mine was viral as my daughter had it.Ofcourse withdrawal went into overdrive at the same time so l had the best of both worlds.Enjoy your time with your grandkids and don't push yourself too far please.love to you.

  Morning lady Mary it's like a dark void without you my lovely.l really hope things ease of for you.l know you are suffering and l am willing you on.We are here for you.love you my lady Mary Hen.Xo

I see your humor is coming back , my Queen, always a good sign.  Loved the size 10 jeans 👖 and needing no mask  .  Trishy will love that.  And yes , pill dispenser not nutritional, but GP left me cutest get well from her dogs.    Each one has a paper plate in its mouth, one says " Get Well" the other says "Soon".  So cute.  Hope you and the babies are recovering, still need to read begood's blog. 

Love you Stut, Mary 👻☠️🎃👻☠️🎃👻☠️🎃.            🐶🐾🐾🐕🐾🐾🐈🐾🐾
