Me after 8 months of no sleep in benzo withdrawal
I have linked it to my tumblr a page I have used for my art over the years..
This shows that you can go to a place you think there is no way of coming back from, and come back!
The body can heal even if you have been kindelled, pollydrugged, and ripped on and off medications like I was.
I am still of course microtapering 3 medications one by one with distressing side effects but I am alive, and currently not like this! As I have tapered off each med VERY SLOWLY I am regaining my health. But it’s very slow and has to be done very carefully ! However it feels like healing is happening, I am still on all three but I walk in hope.
We pray
I am on 0.125mg Ativan
About to start my quetiapine taper hoping nothing is triggered as I taper, like akathisia, which is what you can see here in the video the pacing a very common symptom of withdrawal from pharmaceutical meds, created by man! I paced endlessly, night and day. With a microtaper symptoms such as this should not occur .. again we pray!
With Love
