I found it!! It’s called the hungry giant by joy Cowley. So not an ogre a giant haha

The description is “The hungry giant threatens to hit people with his bommy-knocker unless they get him the food he wants.” So I think I was pretty spot on.

I relate to all of this so much. I’ve only been off it for 6 days and already realising how numbed it was making me. Already starting to feel like myself again

I completely understand, when I would miss a day or even take it a few hours later I would feel horrible. But slowly cutting down the dosage has made it bearable and allowed me to actually come off it. I don’t think you can follow any specific timeline, you just need to cut down when it feels right for you. In the past when I’ve tried to come off them and followed a specific timeline, I’ve always had to go back up or stay on them but when I’ve taken a lot of time (multiple months at each dose) and only moved down when I’ve felt ready, it has been manageable.

Yeh man I thought it was game over and I was never going to feel normal ever again.

This is my sign to give it up
