Ando Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I successfully tapered off 8 mg of "v" over 6 months. It was pretty smooth with almost no issues. I jumped at .5 mg about 20 days ago. After about 14 days...Bam! I got blindsided w/pretty intense w/d. Chest pain, Anxiety,Insomnia, Constant fear and terror. Trouble functioning... Everything has been a blur since Christmas. My life has shut down right before my eyes and it's pretty scary. Trying my best & hanging on. That's all we can do right? Anyone else have this happen after a "smooth" taper? Quote Ando
WebDevElijah Posted January 2 Posted January 2 @Ando This is very normal. You will experience waves and windows. Your body is now healing and trying to re-balance itself. Just keep moving forward and don't look back. You have come a long way and you WILL get better, just let your body heal.

WebDevElijah Posted January 2 Posted January 2 @Ando It is bumpy but focus on the future, healing and that this will all be a thing of the past. Just keep focusing on the good days ahead. 1 Quote Click Here to Learn about my story Current Medications: Valium: Started around 35mg and have tapered over 3 years down to 6.8mg.
