Thanks, Cant. Good to see you! You're right, no more scary turtles. The mutant ninja turtle is enough terror for one thread.

[move][glow=red,2,300]congrats Gard! Wow , a moderator in our group , what a privilege ! ! [/glow][/move]

ATU , I just wanted to tell you , that I also took inositol one morning , and had about four hours of near panic attacks ! So it definitely doesn't work for everyone . I also had the same experience with niacin ... Took me 4 days to realize what was causing my incredible anxiety , which is not one of my main symptoms usually .

Glad you are feeling better .

 

 

Lost - good luck with your appointment

He felt a bit mutant for a while there too..!!

Thanks, Miyu. I have been sitting up reading all the rules and trying to figure out how to admit someone to membership. I think I like posting pictures of chickens and snails better! My brain is like  .

 

Hope you're doing OK with working out the details of your liquid taper. Wish I could help with your math and measurement questions, but if I started making guesses you would be sorry!

You are the expert on mutant ninjas, so I will agree!

Just wanted to say as I'm feeling rather accomplished 

This morning I got up and drove myself 15 miles to the lab at the local hospital to have blood drawn for basic tests .....I haven't done anything like that in two years or more! I wasn't even anxious .

And I was fasting overnight .....!

I had a real window on Sunday as well for several hours 

 

Feels so good to be able to do something for myself .....you just never know when things might shift .

Hoping it will continue , I've made some very tiny cuts and I have to say , im feeling better . So maybe it was just time for a small tweak , who knows . And it's been over a week .

I'm holding again now to see what happens next . Not pushing my luck ...... 

 

 

Love to all,

MiYu

Great stuff MiYu... Its so good to see..!!!

You know your way from here, -just follow your instincts...

Keep us posted..!!

MIYU,  . I hope you don't mind, but I copied the following sentence from your post.

 

I'm only going to cut 1/16th of  1 mg of V this month , I had hoped to try a 1/34 mg , but the symptoms I have today tell me I'm not going to  be able to do that . 

 

I'm wondering if you realize that 1/16 mg is more than 1/34mg.  If you think you can't handle a cut of 1/34 mg, you certainly won't be able to handle a cut of 1/16 which is a larger cut.

 

When you are dealing with fractions the larger the bottom number , the lesser the amount.

 

Like, 1/4 is less than 1/2.  1/34  is less than 1/16

 

I just don't want you  to mess yourself up by cutting more than you realize.

 

If you have  more questions, just ask again. There are so many buddies here who have helped me with math. I'm sure you will get all the support you need.

 

Heath

 

Oops typo sorry everyone , I meant 1/4 mg!  :DGotta check my posts ! Even with a benzo brain I do remember some basic math , actually I was quite good at it! 

 

 

 

MiYu, oh yes, now it makes sense. Those typos can reAlly change the meaning of a sentence. And I type with one finger so my Typos are quite extreme!

Hi M    Great news  I don't know what happened but I did reply to your post earlier the cyber monster must have eaten it Anyway BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!   Keep this post safe in-case you need further encouragement at any time. Its so easy to forget that along the way we make great leaps from time to time when we hit another phase of withdrawal/healing, and things get rough for a while. I washed my floors for the first time in 2 year's funnily enough a week ago, but when the withdrwal monster hit again I forgot. Or would have forgot that progress if I hadn't logged it in the journal I keep, and been convinced that there'd been no positive stuff happened as well  because I was feeling so blergh!!  again the next day

Sloth on crutches here. Still holding, still crying but windows even tho I cry a little. That's a good sign, right?  Taking Vistaril 25 mg at bedtime and sleep clear through the night. Anyone else ever take Vistaril? I don't want to use it often, just when I really need sleep....I know it's an antihistamine and anticholinergic but, histamine is a brain chemical.

Windows for all!

💓 Mellowplease

Hi Mellow. It's definitely a good sign if you are having windows of any kind. As far as the Vistaril goes, I don't have any experience with it but would assume it works similar to Benadryl.  --V

Hello everyone,

 

Just catching up on some of the goings on here n past threads.

 

Gard! Congrats on being appointed Moderator, I know you will do a terrific job.

 

Miyu, thanks for sharing your experience with Inositol,..it was interesting that you had a bad reaction to it as well. I don't know why a I continue to reach for some magic potion, I know time and acceptance will chuck these sxs out when the time is right. Glad to read your feeling better and doing more. 

 

I have really regained my energy levels since stopping the Inositol. I have been working my buns off cleaning windows inside and out and thinning out the gardens etc. Feels good to be tired for a reason instead of being tired just hanging around ya know! 

 

Hope you all have a super day/ night where ever you are.

 

Peace & Healing

 

ATU 🙏🏻
