Hi :)

So, basically, I was given 5mg of Diazepam at the hospital after I went with all my withdrawal symptoms (from being cold turkeyd from Ativan twice before that in a month due to interaction with medication that sent me straight to a/d after I was given 3mg of Ativan) that nobody could recognize. Before the diazepam, it had been almost 10 days I was off the Ativan, and I felt like there was amelioration in my symptoms but that diazepam really threw me back in..

Could 5mg of Diazepam (that didn’t actually work, I must say, I believe the tolerance I developed because of the medication interaction is significant) really do such a setback? I feel like I have a lot more difficulty with akathesia than I did, per example, and also jaw, sleep, etc.

if that’s the case, the last time I had a diazepam was a week ago. I metabolize drugs quite slowly. Would I be out of the woods soon? Knowing it was cold turkey. Or can this part lasts for very long?

Also, my CNS is so affected. I have been taking propranolol but if I don’t take it, I have a high pulse, chest pain, no air, akathesia is in my entire body, noise and smell sensitivity, I jump at nothing, d/r and d/p, suicidal ideations (literal urges), panic attacks that have been the most frightening thing ever…

Gosh.. I am tired….

Because of that one pill that was last week, I am thinking I might be able to reinstate. If this gets worse than what it is right now..

Help.
