[Mi...] Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Really struggling here with insomnia. I am still taking the ness and have not reduced since August. Had a large wave since last Monday with a few hours sleep each night. Anyone else out there and still on the meds and getting this awful insomnia? Seems to arrive as part of my wave symptoms Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 unfortunately for me I didnt taper. I knew nothing about benzo's when I quit. I hadn't even reached tolerance. I discovered i was dependent when I went to work and forgot the pills. I had the worst panic attack ever that just wouldnt stop. I had to rush home and take a xanax to make it stop. I had never been addicted or dependent to anything in my life and I wasnt about to start then. I just quit taking it and suffered horribly through withdrawal thinking once I got thru that I would be home free. Of course that didnt happen and then I started searching online and discovered BB and figured out that I did all wrong. I wish I could go back in time. I really think that had I tapered I would be much better now. I havent slept right since the day I cold turkeyed. I hope that since your tapering you will have an easier time of it.

[Mi...] Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 I am so sorry xray. My tapering has not gone well and I am frightened that I cannot come off the meds. I wish I had found bb earlier rather than being put up and down on them by the GP. It does not make an easy taper and I am struggling and frightened by these horrible dips.

[...] Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Im so sorry youre going thru this as well. We just have to hang on for better days. Youre doing it the smart way with a smart taper. Youll be fine in the end. Just keep chipping away at those pills and get free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
