Anyone who's been through it and got off... let me know! It seems like its going to be a long haul. I've tried before and it didn't work, got awful insomnia. This time 3 months later I have ritalin which helps my focus and overall stress level during the day, and I'm also going down slower. I managed to get to 3/4 of my regular dose with not too much problems about 2 weeks ago. Now about 4 days ago I went from the 3/4 to 1/2 and oooff. Feel not so good.
I like feeling more awake.
I don't like the jitters and tummy butterflies.
I don't like how physically weak I feel.
I do like that I'm not as mentally anxious (yet) as I thought I might be.
I like that I'm trying to take less drugs, for once.
I don't like that my resolve vanishes in the face of being unable to think clearly.
I don't like the hyperawareness of sounds, I jump 3 feet and it doesn't seem funny.
I don't like not knowing how long it could last.Anyone have humor for this? Its very hard not to reach for the klonopin jar. What is the longest this could last?
Thanks.
