I have been experiencing abject anxiety, panic and depression, that I'm pretty sure is bac related--many of you have read my previous threads.
When I was up at 370 Dr L instructed me to go quickly down to 300.
Continued down with titration of 10 to 20 mg per week, with little to no improvement.
At one point, when I was at 220, I as having such an esp awful time that I decided to titrate down 70 mg in similar fashion to what Dr L had recommended. Stayed there for a week now I'm at 140.
Still not doing much better, if at all.
Did that second abrupt titration do me any kind of extra harm? I didn't experience anything acute--no shaking or tremors, heart racing etc. I felt better for a couple days and then the same symptoms set in again.
Psychiatrist has had me on 20 mg valium daily for the last month--I usually only take half that, sometimes 15 mg for obvious reasons. Don't want to create even more problems down the road. The valium takes the edge off the symptoms to where it's within the realm of bearable. But that's about it.
140 mg is certainly doing the trick as far as the alcohol is concerned. I can have 3 or less no prob.
Any suggestions as to what I should do? Titrate up? Continue down slowly?
Will this abate???
It's been going on for a month and a half. Don't understand what, how or why, but something went dreadfully wrong, somewhere along the way.
