Zoplicone and lorazepam taper is ruining me
Posted , 7 users are following.
15 years of building up to 15 mg of Zopliclone and 5 mg of lorazapam at night to sleep. DR retired with no help to get off these. Tried cold turkey and blood pressure, saddness , anxiety for the first time in my life almost killed me. I read the Ashton method but cant find a new Dr. that buy it. I go to a public clinic 4 weeks now on 55 mg of valium a night. I have not slept and a complete zombie, cant work or drive, cant eat, i need to gain weight its to long lasting was told its a year taper , i cant be a zombie for a year. Im worried about GABA and PAWS. I was thinking about keep trying to find a family Dr and switch to original meds and taper one fifth at a time as they are shorter lived, you cant cure 15 years in a few months . Thoughts? appreciated .

hi kathy i would avoid pyschiatrists if possible, from experience they dont recognise withdrawal symptoms they will say u have depression or anxiety and give u meds to treat it and they dont help. they made me feel worse. the only way out is slow taper x it is horrific but there are lots of people who have done it. x

When having anxiety you should try confrontation and breathing exercises.
