hey what's up, sorry to hear about your wd's--yeah it really sucks. I have doctors tell me its impossible to be in wd after a year but this aint painkillers.
*bignbrown*, some people might be able to have an occasional dose and not reignite full blown wd but in general it can't be a good idea and will most likely prolong the process if not intensify it. I have some beers while since wd and had no problems or rebounds but some people rebound like crazy if they even have any alcohol while on bzdwd. also, beware of the "kindling" effect, search wiki or google. it basically says that multiple reinstatements and wd's get worse each time around so you should beware of anything that affects the GAbA neurons.
about suicide, the only reason I haven't done it since wd because there is no real easy way to do it. I go back and forth between utter despair and feeling somewhat less than normal, but my sleep is shitty and I twitch and twitch and caffeine is like meth to me still. I feel like shit.
*HDOubleODeezy* try to hang in there, some people have long wd's and some people don't. Stay away from benzos, alcohol, and other GABA drugs. although some people claim to get relief from antihistamines, but when I took them on wd they fucked my world up for the worse and intensified symptoms, especially restless legs. You are doing the best that you can do by tapering. I went CT and CT fucks your brains up and will definately make mine last long I realize now. Good luck, and don't expect it to be a nice linear recovery process. Some of my symptoms have improved or disappeared while others are worse than ever. I don't get it, but fuck benzos and I hate myself for thinking I could defy their physical addiction.
and... anybody else having long wd's let us know about it! anybody had a successful recovery...does such a thing exist? Anybody having trouble smoking weed during bzdwd? Even weed has been making me crazy on the wd shit! Thank you and fuck benzos!
