James Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 Just something to ponder. When I was stuck in a wave during w/d I always changed. Always for the better. Never for the worse. I did have some waves and still do but the severity is always less than it was the time before. I'd like to stress the point that people change. Even if you didn't get addicted to benzos you would be a different person than you were. When I was going through acute and secondary w/d I found myself turning off lights maniacally. Even the tiny light on the tv to show it was plugged in was too much. In retrospect I think it was silly. It sure wasn't silly when it was happening. My caregiver asked why I wouldn't turn on the lights at night. It was too much for my nervous system at the time. Nobody understands this because they're not crazy like I was at the time. It's very difficult to convey thoughts when your mind is gone. (it came back) Lights and sounds were magnified during my journey. It was all but unbearable. 4 Quote Absolutely zero psychotropic medication.
Toby Posted January 4 Posted January 4 The same thing has been happening to me during my taper especially now. Everything has to be turned off with this obsessive compulsive behavior. I was never like that but I have this urgent need to turn everything off and of course there’s the extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Everything is magnified 100 fold.
