Hi
I just have a quick question it would be great if someone could help me with. I have searched the forums so my apologies if this has been covered or is posted in the wrong place.
A supply of dex was obtained after a week of non use. Normal dose is 9 5mg tablets a day (3x3). Have been taking regular doses for the last 3 days but topping up by taking one tablet whenever the effect was wearing off. The main issue is more has been taken than anticipated or counted. The remaining tablets have been counted and it seems approx 100mg could have been consumed on each of the last 3 days - this scares me a little that I could take so much without realising. I was focussed on beating my friend at cards.
Have still been sleeping except for tonight and eating and hydrating. The only odd symptoms are a weird stiff sensation in one hand and breathing seems a bit heavier than normal. During the day today felt a little shaky when pills started to wear off - at least I figure that is what it was as taking more seemed to stop that. At the moment tired but still motivated to do things but going to try and get some sleep after this post.
My main question it what would be a good tapering tactic - I think it could be short as was only a 3 day binge following a week off? I am on holidays so don't have to achieve too much in the next few days. I am down to 2 5mg valium tablets that I am saving for an emergency and have access to olanzopine, catapres and circadin. I have an ample supply of dex.
Do you think it would be too much to drop it straight down to 15 tablets for a couple of days then back down to 9? Please let me know what you think. Like I said a slower taper is possible meds wise.
Thanks in advance for any help.
