[Li...] Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I am 2 weeks off ativan today. The first week was a little rough. My taper was too fast, and even though I slowed it down toward the end, my symptoms did flare. Things seem to be improving a bit over the last week. I am still dealing with anxiety, some lack of joy, and some sleep issues. I also have gut issues that contribute to my anxiety, but I had those before benzos. I just wanted to post this so that others can see what it *may* be like for them. I wish everyone continued healing. I'm sure it will be up and down, but overall it is ok!

[Pa...] Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 You seem like you're doing really well considering you're only two weeks off, I'm really glad you can see progress, sometimes its difficult to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Li...] Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thanks Pamster. I think I spoke way too soon. I've been having a return of fear, sadness, and anxiety. Sigh. Is it normal that I felt better a week ago? I'm so frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Pa...] Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Totally normal, our recovery isn't linear which makes it so discouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
