I am down to one tablet of lorazepam after two years of being given it by my psychiatrist. This means I am on 1mg. All my panic and anxiety and depression seems so much worse. I really cannot cope like this. My head is full of awful thoughts that just won’t shut up. I just need respite and peace. I am also told that when I am off them permanently I will suffer even more??!!
Can anyone help me please
Hi there and thank you so much for responding. I have literally just joined tonight. I don’t know how to find your recent posts - can you help please?
Hello,Get the Heather Ashton manual and read it.
I took Zanax for 30 years and have been off for 1.5 and you need support and not the doctor.
Look on internet and you will find it.
Did you have a look at the Heather Ashton manual?
Yes I did - thank you very much. It did make a lot of sense. She really seems to know what she is talking about. I have already started weaning off and I am down to a very low dose. I have been appalled at the lack of support my gp has given me although he is usually so excellent. Feeling really ill today. Not sure that Heather’ s charts will help me now. Thanks so much to you for offering advice - I really appreciate it.
you can do it just don't be discouraged if its not so fun after you really stop taking them. Good luck
Thank you - I hope I can .
Keep me posted, I have done it and its not easy. I will help if you need it.
Thank you - that gives me confort.
Hi thereHaving a really bad day but so very sorry to bother you.
My first day to drop to 1 mg
I am down to 1mg (2 x 500mcq)
I have taken 1 tablet this morning and have left the other for tonight before sleeping.
Do you think that’s the best way to go.
So terrified and panic and anxiety is huge . I just felt I needed your advice. I hope you won’t mind . Thank you
I was on Vicodin almost daily for 8 years. Quit overnight with help of cannabis(which i have used 1000 times before).
Years later was on cymbalta for about a 3 years stint after checking myself into hospital for suicide.
Cymbalta was great at first, till I got used to it. Getting OFF of it I was on my own. Withdrawals were terrible.
Self doubt.
Balance issues.
Memory issues.
Once again used cannabis as a tool to ditch the pharmaceuticals.
It doesn’t work for everyone and also has the potential to heighten anxiety if you’re not used to the psychoactive effects of cannabis.
In my case, I’ve switched to only weed and back into gym and fighting off the negative thought patterns.
Doing well now best I’ve felt in years
Thank you and it’s good to hear that you are going forward.
