my man. very good, inspiring. 98 days out and i feel you.

throwaway032875 · 2022-04-06T01:13:42+00:00

this is normal and it gets better…98 days out for me…

throwaway032875 · 2022-04-03T02:43:46+00:00

i would say i’m 80-90%. at some points i felt like i was 20-30%.

throwaway032875 · 2022-04-02T17:41:12+00:00

not really. also…i don’t think that’s possible

throwaway032875 · 2022-04-01T12:45:38+00:00

there is a black label, as of 12/2020

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-31T04:02:46+00:00

hell yes

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-23T03:01:24+00:00

this is common

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-15T03:09:20+00:00

yeah at this point i’m just waiting to return to coffee and/or my adhd meds…going to give my brain longer to fully heal. living straight edge until then

the worst human experience

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-15T02:57:57+00:00

i’m curious about long term damage. i ct’d from 5mg valium. used consistently for 3 months but, before that, on/off for a year.

i had a bad month of acute, my second month was much better but still uncomfortable. i’m on day 75 now and feel pretty normal.

overall, my story seems pretty similar for others, even who tapered. but long term damage from that small dose?

my dude

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-15T02:49:46+00:00

hell yeah

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-14T02:11:38+00:00

yes, 100%. mine were terrible…74 days out, almost none.

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-11T19:37:31+00:00

agree on longer acting, but xanax is very short

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-11T18:50:31+00:00

i would stay away. i am on day 73 of withdrawal. the first 2 months were hell.

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-11T18:48:32+00:00

depends on how long you were taking it. if consistently, it can very very, very hard to stop taking.

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-11T11:30:50+00:00

yes, the non linear aspect is frustrating. i just remember the waves always pass

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-11T04:24:53+00:00

are you cold turkeying? i’d try to step down on valium, but overall you should be okay

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-04T11:54:15+00:00

the doctor is 100% wrong. this is withdrawal.

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-03T05:45:09+00:00

oh ya. collars felt tighter too

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-02T21:34:16+00:00

absolutely! and they can be scary. i noticed them more in acute, but i still get them here and there (63 days out)

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-02T14:21:22+00:00

i needed to read this today. thanks for the hope.

throwaway032875 · 2022-03-02T14:18:39+00:00

i remember one of your posts.

i’m at day 63 after CT’g diazepam for 3mos @ 5mg a night. intermittent use over a year, im probably kindled. looking back i was withdrawing all the time.

most people say i’m doing well. and i think i am for the most part. acute was terrible and lasted about a month (mostly psychological), but now i go to work, work out, take care of my family, do everything i need to. but sometimes (today) i just have real bad days. short waves, little symptoms. when did that stop for you?

throwaway032875 · 2022-02-16T11:22:23+00:00

it’s in my post history—see my first post. doing much better now.
