[Mi...] Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Hit 5.5 months off today I’m so sick and tired of this When will this end or at least get less intense One week screwed me up this bad I know its because I Was on a high dose 2 mg a day n withdrawing from alcohol But wow it just doesn’t seem to end. Months 1-4 have been hell on earth. 5 hasn’t been any much better but sleeping a bit better, than previous months. The depression has been hitting me bad this month. And sinus/throat issues. Mi gi symptoms have improved a bit. And aches as well. Some other symptoms still lingering .. I can ride this out, just breaks me down when my family doesn’t understand this is a long rough recovery that I don’t have a date when it will end.

[Ma...] Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 ct from that dosage - and Ativan - thats huge... It will take time. I tapered Ativan and this was real challenge.. But 5,5 months is a lot and although you might still feel like in hell (totally normal, by the way!) it gets better. I know it hard to cope when I tell you "double the time and then you will notice it got better" because each day seems to be too much.. Just hold on. It gets better!

[Su...] Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Mike214...I hear you man. I am just coming up on 5 months. Excruciating in every respect. I can only hold on to the statements of those who have walked this path before that it will get better. I wish those people who have healed would stick around and offer encouragement but that doesn’t seem to happen. It seems it’s just us stuck in the struggle. Hang in there. I pray everyday for healing, for all of us. Ativan is poison. I don’t understand why doctors are even allowed to prescribe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mi...] Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Hey marigold Yes I was on a high dose I see on here that Ativan is a strong drug that gives everyone hell A lot of similar symptoms with other users as well What month did you turn a corner in your withdrawal?

[Ma...] Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I focused on the things that got better while I was still in hell. I can’t tell you in which month ecxacröy which symptom got better. In the first year these main symptoms got better - insomnia - depression -Brain fog - memory / able to read nd count - anxiety - inner shaking and tremor - the overall feeling of hell 24/7 - able to walk - no more dizzyness And a lot more. I was in acute while tapering because of kindling so it’s not easy to remember the exact times but after one year I noticed my old self was back, Humor, Love etc. You will notice the changes a while after they have happened because on withdraws we are unable to see the little improvement.
