For me each wave seems to be worse! It seems this one will not abate. I now have a ball of anxiety in my solar plexus and it kind of buzzes. In the morning it kind of shot through my system like a white hot flame. I feel overstimulated and tense. I hate this. How long have you been off all meds?

i had an accute reaction to the zopiclone 2021 with akathasia and dystonia. I was taken off cold turkey cause of severe sxs but reinstated. My aka was so bad it was life threatening everyday for like 12 montjs I think. My healing started when I was off. But I am nowhere Near healed I am bedridden sith dystonia weakness and spasms:(

I wasn’t necessarily on anything long term but had a bad reaction to Cipro in April 2020 and that began a cascade of polydrugging me with ADs, benzos, anticonvulsants. I had veeery mild aka since Feb 2021 (the last time I took psych meds) and it had been nearly healed by Jul 2022. Def saw a lot of healing! Then I had an adverse reaction to a hormonal drug and been suffering ever since. I got pregnant, had to take an antibiotic last Nov and in May was given a lot of meds during my c-section. I avoid meds but that was necessary. I go between waves and windows all the time. I will feel like I can live for a week or a few weeks (I still have symptoms but manageable and negligible even) and then shit hits the fan again even worse than before. What a mess!

Nope, my name is Julia 😅

Yes, I hope we will heal. My girl is my sunshine. It kills me when she sees me cry when I am in a wave. I hope she won’t remember any of it.

I am on zopiclone up to 2 pills a night and falling asleep becomes increasingly difficult. After one year. The doctor wants to switch me to estazolam.

Is it possible to just CT zopiclone and start estazolam? This is what he suggests. I’m increasingly confused and scared. I must sleep cause I must work 9-6.

This is all like a nightmare. I don’t want to get myself into another benzo...
