I’m already in wd cos I skipped one dose about a month ago When I began my taper, I was forced to switch from Lorazepam to Valium because I couldn't get Lorazepam. Otherwise, I would have stayed with Lorazepam. My nervous system did better with Lorazepam. Advantages of switch to Valium: 1. Valium has a long half-life, so you only have to take one dose a day 2. Because the doses of Valium are much larger than Lorazepam (10mg Valium = 1mg Lorazepam) it's easier to make your dose if using a scale Disadvantages of switch to Valium 1. 7 week delay in starting your taper due to need to slowly switch from Lorazepam to Valium before starting to taper 2. There is a risk that Valium won't work as well for you as Lorazepam. This happened to me. There is also the risk that Valium won't work at all for you. In my view, it's almost always better to taper the drug you're already on. If you do switch, you need to do a slow crossover.

You could reduce the morning dose during the first step of the 10 percent method, then reduce the noon dose during the second step, then reduce the evening dose during the third step. Once this cycle was finished, you would begin the fourth step with a further reduction of the morning dose, and so on, until the withdrawal is completed.Sometimes there will be obvious reasons to choose the morning or evening dose as the first one to reduce. Many people find that they awaken in the morning in a state of anxiety or agitation due to withdrawal from the previous evening dose. Therefore, they may feel more comfortable beginning with a reduction of the afternoon dose. Others may find that they become excessively sleepy in the afternoon. They might want to begin by reducing that dose. Still others may be concerned about difficulty sleeping if they stop the evening dose of a tranquilizer. In that case, they would be wise to begin reducing a dose that is given earlier in the day.There are no hard and fast rules about which doses to reduce first. In general, however, you should consider initially reducing the dose that's causing the most side effects, such as the afternoon dose that makes you too sleepy. Conversely, you may want to initially keep the dose that seems to be helping you the most, such as the evening dose if you have insomnia. Gridley Introduction Lexapro 20 mg since 2004.

I see first thanks for the answer tbh I don’t feel nothing of taking the pills I don’t feel the effect I’m always the same . My symptoms I guess are steady , mostly in the morning I wake up like you said with anxiety and “bad from the head “ i understand what you say about first 10 percent of the first next month ten percent of the second and 3rd month of the night dose. Question. Can I do first finish the 1 and 2 doses ? Like 10 percent of the 1 then the 2 then back to the first, like I want to eliminate the day intake. Idk if you follow me sorry my englsih is not my first language. Anther question. Should I start now ? Cos my wd state is not gonna pass ? I skipped a dose accidentally on January 12 , enter into a wd and still didn’t get stable should I wait ? Start now ? The damage can be repair ? According what I read is kind of random I guess so that it’s thanks 2021 - Seroquel 250mg and lorazepam 4,75 mg i was tapering 12,5 mg every 3 weeks and I was fine start tapering 2022 November or December I can remember now im on 187,5 mg Seroquel on hold on January on 187,5mg of Seroquel I skipped a dose of lorazepam of my 3 intakes and enter into wd. im on hold of both meds my dose of lorazepam is still on 4,75mg 03.7.23 Holding both doses May 25, 2023 - lorazepam reduced from 1,34 MG to 1,20 MG at night (total lorazepam: 1.25 morning, 1.25 afternoon, 1.20 mg evening = 3.7 mg), Seroquel still at 187.5 mg June 23 2023 down seroquel to 151 ,8 MG July 7 136 mg seroquel -july28 123 MG seroquel Hold on all meds Down from 1,25 MG to 1,20 MG lorazepam 8 am dose _8.22.23 _ Hold both meds very unstable currently 1,20 MG am 1,25 MG 2 PM 1,20 MG 8 PM 123 MG seroquel 10 pm_ total lorazepam 3,65 MG Link to comment

Should I start to low dose even more now ? Thanks @jeffelmexicano the reason we're suggesting that you reduce the lorazepam is because it appears many of your symptoms are from taking TOO MUCH lorazepam. It wears off overnight, that's why you might have those bad symptoms in the morning. For what reason were Seroquel and lorazepam prescribed together? Why are you taking 250mg Seroquel?

Moderator Frogie Posted March 7, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2023 @jeffelmexicano If you purchase a scale, they are pretty inexpensive on Amazon, we would help you with the math. I would start with the most activating dose that you are on and taper off of it first. PREVIOUS medications and discontinuations: Have been on medications since 1996. Valium, Gabapentin, Lamictal, Prilosec and Zantac from 2000 to 2015 with a fast taper by a psychiatrist. Liquid Lexapro Nov, 2016 to 31-March, 2019 Lexapro free!!! (total Lexapro taper was 4 years-started with pill form) ---CURRENT MEDICATIONS:Supplements:Milk Thistle, Metamucil, Magnesium Citrate, Vitamin D3, Levothyroxine 25mcg, Vitamin C, Krill oil. Xanax 1mg 3x day June, 2000 to 19-September, 2020 Went from .150 grams (average weight of 1 Xanax) 3x day to .003 grams 3x day. April 1, 2021 went back on 1mg a day. Started tapering May 19, 2023. July 28, 2023-approximately .87mg. Dr. fast tapered me at the end and realized he messed up. Prescribe it again and I am doing "slower than a turtle" taper. 19-September, 2020 Xanax free!!!

Mentor littlebird Posted March 8, 2023 Mentor Share Posted March 8, 2023 I've done this math too, those years rack up fast. Hard to feel hopeful when thinking of year after year of med tapering... but then when I think of the alternative (doing nothing, staying on too high a dose) it makes me think I gotta keep going on this. Who knows, might even add years to our lives to be on less meds! Probably will, when you think about all the health problems tied to lifelong usage of psych meds. Hello, fellow long-hauler! Settle in, let's have fun and make the most of it. 2 Pronouns: they/them/theirs Started on Prozac in early 2000s to treat cPTSD, been on various cocktails ever since. 2002-2004, 2017-2022: Buspar, tapered down to 0 2016-present: 100mg Seroquel for sleep -> May 2023: 90mg -> June 2023: 81mg -> September 2023: 72mg -> switched to brand name, much too strong, down to 60mg -> October 2023: 54mg -> November 2023: 50mg -> January 2024: 45mg -> April 2024: 40.5mg 2016-Present: 100mg Wellbutrin SR -> January 2023: 75mg IR (37.5mg 2x a day) -> February 2023 (33.75mg 2x a day) -> July 2023 (30.37mg 2x a day) -> August 2023: 27.33mg 2x a day 2018-present: 25mg Pristiq 2015-present: 600mg Gabapentin (200mg 3x a day) -> December 2022: 300mg Gabapentin (100mg 3x a day) per GP's recommendation after side effects -> March 2023: 90mg 3x a day (switched to liquid suspension) -> April 2023: 81mg 3x a day -> September 2023: bad generic, switched back to homemade liquid; too strong after bad generic, down to 70mg 3x a day, still bad. Adjusted slowly till at 60mg 3x a day, much better. Long hold till -> December 2023: 54mg, still feels too high after November Seroquel switch from brand name to generic, doc recommended 50mg which feels better -> January 2024: When Wellbutrin went down, Gabapentin started putting me to sleep, went down to 45mg, then 41mg to stay awake, so far so good -> February 2024: 36mg, still too high, 34mg -> March 2024: 31mg, STILL too high, 30mg Supplements: Multivitamin w/magnesium, probiotics, digestive enzymes, anti-viral nitric oxide nose spray as needed Link to comment
