Need Advice---Should I Make a Cut?

[[Te...]]

Update:  I should be making a 1mg cut, tonight but I'm afraid to.  I had a set back 10 days ago when I began taking my regular seasonal allergy medicine.....it threw me into bad w/d and it took me 3-4 days before I realized the cause.  I've begun to feel stable the last 3 days so I'm scared to make the cut, tonight.  So....any advice....should I go ahead and make the cut or not? What would you do?

 

Thanks,

I think a good deal of this process involves how we think about it.  If you think that making a cut now is likely to result in another setback, it probably will.  I assume you aren't taking the allergy med now.  How about just setting a date up to a week or two in the future and let yourself become more confident?  Just an idea.  Good luck.

I agree with Beeper, never a good time to make a cut if you are feeling so scared, take a little more time and get the confidence back, you will be better prepared for it by far.

Thanks for your input.  I made the 1mg cut, last night.  I feel great, today but I know it takes a couple of days for the cut to catch up with me, too.  I stopped taking the allergy meds, immediately and now only take Benadryl.  I've been feeling very good for the past few days and decided to stick to my schedule and make the cut.  I know me and I'm afraid if start postpoing making a cut then I will be doing it throughout the taper.  I'm a recovering addict from way back, I'm just trying to be careful and not allow my addictive personality to take over.
