> ~Ed37.5 mgs Valium. Burning skin, paranoia, dizziness, world looks surreal, mild tremor, insomnia, agitation, stange sinking sensations when I take steps, weakness, zero apetite. Holy God I have been fighting this insanity for 2 years. And people that have never been through it tell me to go work in spite of it all, to walk with a cane, to "adapt to it" like a quadaplegic does. Please take my legs for this to go away!!! Take my most private part! They have no clue, no one knows this unless they live it. Euthanasia would be the kind thing. What, go to 60 mgs, then a month later 80, up and up? Cross to Klonopin? All the help I can find is 30 day treatment centers to cold turkey me off but would need to scrounge up $1000 for that. Thay are partly govt funded. Would be in there with alcoholics who are loud, eating like horses and talking about getting laid after their 3 day withdrawal. God have mercy on me.
