Am a week into my complete withdrawal from this evil med. I know there are people that do well on this, I do not unfortunately.

This is my first morning where I do not have that awful drunk feeling and stumbling all over the place when getting out of bed, am quietly confident that this symptom is disappearing. Its been a tough week, broken sleep, nightmares, and the awful stomach, nausea and exhaustion. Had a moment of feeling normal, and my eyesight is improving which was a pleasant surprise, didnt realise that this med affected that I put it down to age. In addition to receiving support I want to give hope out there and put minds at rest regarding the symptoms, as know how scary they can be. After 8 months of withdrawing from meds and 7 months from amit, I no longer feel scared, am determined and am just going with it. Thanks for listening, it helps me writing all this. Keep strong everyone.
