Fuckin hell this tiny reduction from 0.25 to 0.1 is prooving quite hard. Its the smallest reduction ive made but i suppose as a percentage type thing its quite a big jump. Day 3 so far, no signs of it getting any easier, i feel this is gonna take several more days until i feel half human again. Im probably gonna stay on this dose until i feel 100% well and adjusted to it, i dont think it'll help me rushing into the next jump before ive fully regained my health and strength.
Im not bed ridden and have energy to walk quickly (i remember really bad wds when all the ancient decrepit OAPs would be overtaking me on the pavements, so relatively this is nothing) and do stuff and type on here, so its not that bad, just a seemingly never ending grotty feeling. Thats just how it seems though, the worst of the grottyness is usually over within 1 week after every reduction. I sometimes take a weeks 'rest and recuparion' on the new dose once the worst of the grottyness has past to try to regain my stamina and mentally prepare for the next stage. 2 more of these stages to go through. This is the pros and cons of the long drawn out taper method ive gone for.
I know stimulants are a very bad idea in this situation, sure they will help enormously in the very short term, but looking further ahead than the few hours of lift, there'll be a comedown, then it'll be difficult to eat and sleep, so im not doing any strong stims, as im sure that'll have a negative effect on 'healing'. However what about benzos, pregabalin, beer (very moderate consumption), and cannabinoids, they seem to help ?
Anyone know if they interfere with or slow down the 'healing' process or if they make no difference, and you might as well take advantage of the apparent easing of symptoms they seem to offer ?
