[Ha...] Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Not really sure about this, but can we get windows during taper? Or is this just times the benzos are working and not actually a window? <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Tr...] Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I had a three day window a few weeks ago. Could have been a window in my Fibromyalgia - that happens too! But I have kind of a daily window: morning is mostly bad, things get a little better in the afternoon and evenings are mostly "fine". Someone told me it has to do with Cortisol levels being the highest in the mornings. Hope you have a window soon. Stay strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Fp...] Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Absolutely. I had times during my taper where I felt pretty much normal. I did a DLMT and would makes daily cuts with no ill effects, then it would catch up with me and I would hold for a week or two until I started feeling better. I had weeks at a time during my taper that I felt fine. They would eventually be followed by down times and increased symptoms. So, yes, I believe I had windows and waves throughout my taper. Im 11 months out now and feel much better, especially emotionally. I still have some physical symptoms that keep popping up, but overall Im feeling much better.

[Ma...] Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I had a 3 week window after holding for cataract surgery. I was so shocked, it took me a couple days to notice. I guess my attention was on my eye . But, I believe definitely in windows, but you have to have your meds and timing just right, something that isn't really easy. Hope you experience one soon.

[Mo...] Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Windows are real, I think they are due to our systems temporarily balancing prior to our next reduction. For me, they are a reminder of what I have to look forward to in the future and are VERY reassuring. They make me feel so much better mentally and emotionally that I believe I become more resilient. And I do better all around. I began to experience them as I got toward the end of my taper (I'm 90% there). I credit the windows with things going more smoothly the lower I get. We know we can feel good! I hope this helps you. I say: when you feel good, don't question it (unless you've accidentally up-dosed). Keep going, and yes, enjoy the windows!
