Hi,
I really think the steroid shots messed me up in a really bad way. I feel like I am on fire, and I am so sensitive, I’m wondering if I should go back up to the 0.125 dose x 3, and start over. Perhaps it would be better to be on the same dose each time and then taper off a little bit on each dose, but they would all be the same. What are your thoughts?

Thank you for your support
🤗 Hope

Hi Hope,

I don't know about going back up, I cannot give any advice in that regard. Just wanted to say I know how awful steroids can be, they in combination with deceipt from my GP is how I ended up here on benzos. So I'm also dealing with symptoms from both, hang in there!

I know you are suffering and hurting. And I am so sorry about your situation. Steroids can be really bad during withdrawal and many people get setbacks from it. Unfortunately when you get a setback from something external unrelated to your taper an updose seldom works. The best is to hold your dose and let your body fight it out. I know it's hard because when we're in pain we want to do something about it. Doing nothing feels wrong. Just know while you're waiting it out, your body is recovering. You'll get through this!
