[Be...] Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Not too much to report. Brain fuzzies, weird lung pain, mild morning ick but I'm attributing that to hormone issues. Everything is much much milder. Also, this is the longest I've gone without an anxiety/depression attack since last November. That's down right amazing, sugarlily! That titration method is working great for you. I'm so happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Co...] Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 That's good to hear, Sugar. This must be encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 sugarlily I just realized your thread is still on the Welcome board. Would you mind if we moved it to Titration Tapers? People who are considering titration often look there for information and encouragement from others using this method. When a thread is moved, there's always a link to the new place which you can then bookmark. Hope the days just keep getting better and better.

[su...] Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 You can move my thread, no worries. I'm feeling a worsening in my PMS symptoms and I think I'm about to start my period(I hope). It would be very early but not much I can do. I can definitely see a connection between w/d symptoms and PMS. Pretzel is not the only one who feels the difference. Hanging in there and encouraged!

[su...] Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Started my period. Over a week early. Overly emotional and sensitive. Not horrible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[su...] Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 Ok, I've stopped at 45 ml. W/d symptoms are pretty intense so I'm going to stay steady for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Good thinking, sugarlily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[su...] Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 LOL, so my w/d are already a little rough and then I COMPLETELY forget to take my morning dose and just remembered now 3 hours later because I got so jittery I could barely function.

W/d symptoms are pretty intense so I'm going to stay steady for a few days. sugar when I was titrating, I would stop for 4-5 days at a time, when things got hard, and usually thing would level out it that time. you are doing great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[su...] Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yesterday was great, really tired today from being out of town all weekend. Feeling pretty good. Going to stay at 45 for a few more days I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Sugarlily It's great to be tired from actually doing too much rather than feeling like doing nothing. Hope that means you will get some good sleep tonight. Thanks for checking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[su...] Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 ^^Exactly. I honestly think that being on b-bud forum has helped me accept my feelings and process them without freaking out. They can be there but I can continue my life until they pass because they really simply aren't real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still struggle with acceptance daily regarding one thing or another. Thanks for the reminder.

[Th...] Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Am I allowed to ask about advice on getting other prescription meds for a non-benzo related issue? Hi sugarlily, I don't see any reason you can't ask about other meds, we can only give our opinions based on whether we used them or not and then again the same med can have different affects on different people.

[su...] Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hmm, well, I think I'm spotting. My menstrual issues are really weirding me out. I just ended my period a couple days ago. I'm probably going to the doctor next week. Anyone have abnormal spotting while on klono? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[su...] Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ok, I need some advice on this. I start school tomorrow and I don't really want to take my medication to school because I'd be taking it in the middle of class. I take it at 7am, 3pm, and 11pm. I'm thinking of just taking it twice a day(like 7am and 7pm). Is that going to give me weird symptoms...bad idea altogether?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Co...] Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi, It would have been better to do this gradually, but you probably will be fine. Klonopin is usually OK taken just twice a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
