I would disagree that your life is over. It sounds like you have every reason to keep going and have a little boy that needs you. You are making progress in your taper and that's a GOOD thing. No need to focus on anything but slow, baby steps toward your goal of being off medication. Viruses have a way of messing up our nervous systems for sure. I was quite sick over the weekend with something and it flared everything up in my nervous system after being relatively 'well' for some time. I guess it's par for the course in this journey we're on. It's really something we have to accept and it's important to proceed forward nevertheless. Try not to focus on your mistakes or hardships. Have you ever considered starting a gratitude list? It can help to shift your thinking from the bad things to the good things that we might take for granted. 

 

Give it a try and keep reaching out. We're hear for you.

I try gratitud but its hard still trying 

Idk what to do with meds 

Antipsychotic índuced anheodnia i dont think Is much posible to heal Is just bombing dopamine all the Time 

 

Thats even worst than benzo wd but im not sure both are hell 

 

I think poeple have permanent or More anheodnia with antipsychotics AND they dont heal in years the pooeple i talked to 

 

Maybe i should stop benzo tapering AND taper seroquel ? 

 

So hard i know seroquel Is good for sleep after that i probably dont sleep normal again AND More with Benzos wd 

 

But anheodnia Is hell totally 

 

Idk 

 

Thanks for words Lotus

Gratitude doesn't happen all at once. It's cumulative and I completely relate. I ripped up my gratitude list and chucked it in the trash more than once, only to restart the list. The idea is that the more you think gratitude, the more you will see there are still good experiences, even while tapering. Can you think of any that are related to your son? Perhaps write about him and stick it up somewhere where you can see it everyday. When you're ready, or think of something else, add to it.

When is the last time you made a change to your dose? Do you feel that you're at a baseline level of symptoms?

Well Is complicated i tried to change my signature  to put my dose changes AND i couldnt 

I Will try to write  changes here.

 

I think im worst than my baseline 

Specially in cognitive way Is very hard to do my work since my cognition Is not working well from  the last Time i drop dose 

 

I held for about a month before 

The virus i got attack cns AND stay there permanent 

 

My currents dose Is 

0.95 mg at 9 am ativan pharmacy do my pills

last Time i drop was sunday April 20 

9 am dose from 1 MG to 0.95 MG 

 

Before this drop was with ni problem of 0.05 

 

the virus changed all my system Is extreme fragile 

 

wich Is very scary Is cognition going worst 

 

i would like to stop tapering but i have the pills from pharmacy maybe i take them pills to do More of my current dose i have a scale now AND i want to start cutting my own pills or do water taper so no More expend money on pharmacy AND all that 

 

im very scared about cognition im failing my work all the Time AND i cant lose my job , i feel If i continúe tapering my cognition gonna be worst 

 

before i did 0.05 per week with no problem AND hold one week . That was totally like 5 %  a month 

so currently

-

9 am 0.95 MG ativan 

3 PM 1 MG ativan 

9 pm 0.95 ativan 

11 PM 123 MG seroquel 

symtpms are
