Audre,
Welcome to the form. This is a great place for support, and much needed, well it
was for me when I first started all of this,
My nightmare began 6 days after the doc dropped me from 60 mg to 30 mg.
I was having horrible nightmares, couldn't sleep, well it's hard to describe,
sweating, abdominal pain, itching, anxiety through the roof, memory problems,
mass confusion.
Oh the list goes on, and on. Then I called the doc, and he said it had nothing
to do with the meds, but to go back to the 60 mg dose, I did, and a couple of
days later it all stop!
We are all different, but from what I have seen most have to decrease slowly
off this stuff. You think that the benzo's were hard, that's nothing!!! Does not
even come close. I am in recovery from taking mass quanities of all those kinds
of drugs, and many more. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
I do pray that your one of the lucky one's, and that you have no problem at all
with your getting off this crap.
Just remember that your brain is addicted to it, and when it is not getting the
drug, boy will it ever let you know about it!!!
Good luck with the decrease. Just know you have lots of options:), and support
when you need it too!

Four Dont's
Don't hurry. Your going to live for ever---somewhere. IN fact, you are in eternity now;so why rush!
Don't Worry. You belong to God, and God id Love; so why fret?
Don't Condemn. As you cannot get under the other fellow's skin, you cannot possibly know what difficulities he has had to meet-Your are not perfect yourself and might be much worse in his shoes.
Don't Resent. If wrong has been done, the Great Law will surley take care of it. Rise up in consciousness and set both yourself and the delinquent free. Forgiveness is the strongest medicine.
