[mp...] Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 congrats on your sweet sleep julian. M. Thanks MG. How've you been? Thanks for asking julian. I've been working for 7 weeks now, and I will tell you, it's really physically challenging. Also, we've been in a heat wave the entire time! I heard that you are already down in the 30's tonight, I'm jealous! Being out in the world has definitely seen the return of a lot of sxs that I thought I'd seen the last of. But, I don't get frightened by any of it, just inconvenienced. I am lucky to be working, even though it is a temp job most likely through the end of the year. Are you working? Sorry if I forgot this detail. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will more than likely raise my cuts later, i am in no hurry here... and feeling great. Oscar It's great. I think you will start feeling better. If it were me, I would try 0.0025 cuts until you feel better, and then raise them a little. You are still moving in the right direction whilst remaining functional.

[ta...] Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I agree. After visiting BenzoBuddies, I usually feel frightened and depressed. So here's something positive about my tapering of lorazepam. For well over a year, brain fog would hit me in the late afternoon or early evening. It would hit most days, and last a few hours before lifting late in the evening. I suspected that it was caused by lorazepam, but continued taking it because it helped my insomnia so much. How I wish I'd started tapering lorazepam as soon as I started getting brain fog, because this was one of the first symptoms of benzo interdose withdrawal I suffered. This was long before I started having gastrointestinal problems like bloating, which is now my most bothersome symptom. But I didn't start tapering until July 30. At that time I was taking 1.0-1.5 mg. Now I'm down to .5 mg, and the brain fog has been gone for about three weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[os...] Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Now I'm down to .5 mg, and the brain fog has been gone for about three weeks! Isn´t it such a good feeling when the brain fog lifts? Mine lifted at 4mg Valium equivalent... it was and is so cool to have a clearer mind again. It´s gotta be healing!
