Out of the woods

[getdowngetup]

Several weeks now since final teeny tiny .125 mg. dose of clonazepam. 7 week taper off 2mg

I feel free

BP has returned to my baseline

Breathing is normal

Palpitations gone

Sleeping well

Anxiety back to baseline

More energy

Once again hopeful

Downside:

Continue having drenching night sweats more than likely side effect of trazadone and/or venlafaxine.

Wow what along strange trip it has been🤣☮🤣☮

This is wonderful news. How good it must be to feel "out of the woods." My last tiny dose was on March 7th and it is going well.

That is awesome. It really does get better. Slow and steady win the race.😊DV

So, I believe I experienced a wave, which lasted for the last three days. Last night it peaked and my anxiety was through the roof. No sleep, no appetite, no fun.

Now for the positive news, this morning I feel much better. I am pretty much exhausted, but the anxiety is not extreme and my appetite is back.

The best part, though, I did not give in and take the clonazepam, I resisted and rode the wave. I never thought that taking clonazepam "as Needed" in very small increments, would cause so much discomfort, when I decided to give it up.

So now starts day 13. I am feeling optimistic, wish me luck.
