300days Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 @Greatfulthank you so much for your post ---- it is amazing what these drugs can do, that is for sure! so it looks like from your ID that you weren't on a benzo in all of that time -- that's at least one good thing! thanks again and I'll keep you posted- I have to go for a mammogram today and its hard for me to even walk to the mailbox most days -- so, so strange. 9/2016 - "flowed" by levaquin; placed on small dose gabapentin and Xanax to help ease my CNS; 3/2017 - simply stopped the gabapentin and Xanax -- no issues 1/2020- put back on gabapentin and low dose Xanax after similar reaction anesthesia 2/2020- stopped the gabapentin; Xanax increased to 1mg; reduced it to .75 a few weeks later - very bad withdrawal; 3/2021 was updosed to 1.5mg of Xanax and put on 15mg of mirtazapine for sleep/appetite; also placed on VERY high doses of Hardy nutritionals by my doc; started slow micro taper of Xanax (got down to .65mg as of july 2021) 3/2021 - had to come off the supplements as my blood levels were off; tapered off over four months 7/2021 - bottom fell out; had to stop working; looping intrusive thoughts. suicidal ideation, tinnitus, skin burning, morning terror, anxiety that lasts each day until around 9pm then I am able to read, write, focus, a bit more calm 8/5/2021 - updosed to 1mg of Xanax in attempt to calm my system; didn't work - not worse but not better currently on 15mg of mirtazapine before bed and 1mg of Xanax dosed five times a day Link to comment
