Hi, sweetpea,

 

Did you change from Ativan to Xanax on your own?  Did your doc prescribe this?  You are still having w/d symptoms and you are not stabilized on a dose.  Good luck, SP.

Hey Sweetpea,

 

Are you still around?  If so, how is everything going?

 

I'm on a Klonopin taper as well and am very curious as to your situation.  I have depression/benzo combination as well.

 

I havn't seen any other posts from you anywhere.  Hopefully that means you're doing better!

 

I sure wish the best for you!    :hug:

She hasn't been around in a few weeks.

I went to that thread but there isn't anything on it from her since January 21. 

 

I'm with you... I hope things are ok!  In this type of forum being MIA isn't always a good thing.  Maybe she will be back soon!

Try not to worry Phyllis. She has come and gone a few times in the past. Hopefully she is getting the help she needs. Bless your heart for caring.  :smitten:

Actually I find helping others in here pretty therapeutic for myself.  Sometimes seeing others with so much worse problems help to minimize my own! 

 

Since I found out I'd been living in tolerance to Xanax for years, bottomed out in Dec, and then found BB and got educated, I just want to find the tallest mountain with the biggest megaphone and just scream out to everyone to run from this crap!  The big picture really is sad!    :(
