> hansi555,you seem to have it all worked out///you have imformed your work ,family an next doors cat/bbbbbbut who,s going to tell your brain ????you will have nothing to do with a full withdrawl ,your brain rule,s the outcome not you//who was this psycologist who said its easier to stop than to tapper off///
That was wrongly quoted by me. In her experience her patients doing a slow taper, never succeeded
- some of the patients doing it quickly succeeded to stay off, others did notthats out of order an not true///do you think for one moment that you are going to have some small upset for a few weeks then a rainbow appears an the world is cool//may i just tell you reality from one who was forced into full detox
What is your diagnosis and for how long have you had this?
//like you are thinking of trying//10 ativan a day stopped just like that,,number one i was admitted to hospital after a suicide atempt about 4 days in///death was better than that detox//i was eventually given back 4mg to stay alive//cool this isnt it,detoxing 6mg now an yes i did it///after 3 months of locking my self away like an animal an banging my head against the wall,shakeing none stop that bad would slide me of the bed//family pokeing there head round the bedroom door to see if i wasa live but scared to enter///first after months i let my dogs enter//even they were sh*tt*ng themselve,s //yes i managed to stablise after many months on 4mg of ativan //but i could not shift the lot i admit that ,an so do the doctors now//thats the sort of d tox you think you want to try//well i didnt have a say in it ,you have//the damage done in that d tox at that speed damaged me for ever//would do it again??????????NO i would sooner die///if i new how long it would take an the damage it caused ,i tell you now the truth, i could not do that again//detoxing meds fast takes you to a place worse than death//there was a effexor d tox going on as well just to make life as bad as it can be//thats why i dont like p doc,s they play god with your life //i dont no the amount of meds your on but i luck forward to the outcome it will be interesting if you are on a good level of meds when you stop dead
I am on 110 mg Nortriptyline, 10 mg Lexapro and 12 mg remeron - it is for an unipolar depression 2,5 years ago.
Please consider that if these meds worked well for me I would probably stay on them.
I am not against meds as such - just want to see if I can do better without them...
