Well, Its been exactly 4 weeks and this decomp event is driving me crazy..... I wake up everyday and feel like garbage again... I know we go through this all the time, but can someone remind me that I am still just experiencing a setback... Why would a Stomach Bug/food poisoning cause me to have such a bad setback.... I mean... This doesnt seem right.. I had a cold, and the setback lasted only 10 days after and I was fine again....

Man.... I HATE THIS FRIGGIN THING!!!!!!

Tummy,

Do you think this has anything to do with coming off the Xanax(s.p?). (Not sure how long you've been off the Xanax as you mentioned it in another post.) I read that you can have which they call rebound symptoms meaning the symptoms the drug was intended to originally treat have come back strong again. It also takes awhile for the symptoms to settle down again and in researching, I found it can take up to a year for our bodies to adjust again to not taking the medication.

Not saying you'll feel this bad again for a year, but maybe it is your body adjusting without the med too.

Hope you can relax some....take one good look at that little sweetie of yours and hopefully it will cheer you up.

Hi Gloria,

I mean I wont say no..... But I had been taking such a small dose of Xanax anyway...Up until this episode I had been off the drug for almost 5 months... Not sure if thats all, especially since I was always taking less than the minimum dose anyway....

This started the day after I had a stomach bug, so I attributed it to that.. because I had a high fever and lotsa vomitting.... Just seems like it is not going.. I again stopped the xanax as I was takingt a extremely small amount... Akin to cutting your current klonopin dose in 5 pieces... I am 6 Days off the drug and I dont feel so hot atm... I may start taking it again in a few days and see what it does for me...

I could use a couple of good days to relax...... I need a break

Tummy

The reason I'm asking about the Xanax is that I started tappering mine on Sept 1st. I too was on an extremely small doseage. I cut mine by 1/4 of the tablet every month and it wasn't until this month that I noticed an increase in weird funky ears symptoms and increase in pressure. In my research this can happen as a rebound effect and as I got down to a certain point it through my system off. It also said it wasn't good to go back and fourth with taking the med as it causes more problems in the long run and making it typically harder for a person to cut the dose 100%.

I'm waiting mine out.....as I refuse to up it. I want off it as I have noticed the physical head pain has decreased since coming off it. Could be coincidence with time, but I'm not taking any chances. I'd like to be med-free a year to see how my body adjust to it. I'm hoping med free will kill this monster. I'll let you know how it goes.

Try to relax....Gloria
