NobodySpecial Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Okay, so I had a question and I'd love to get some feedback! I feel like I have a limited reserve of capacity to handle symptoms and different experiences while tapering (like anxiety, OCD thoughts, going to work after a night with no sleep). I feel like dealing with symptoms drains this reserve, and after a while, I find it hard to maintain my composure in the face of the challenges. How do you maintain this reserve / nourish it, so that you can properly work through the marathon that is AD withdrawal? Taper commencing 14/06/18: Going down by 2.5mg per month from 35mg - once 2.5mg is bigger than the recommended 10%, I'll switch to a water solution. Planning to taper until October and then hold until 2019 - balancing study, work, life and holiday season. Medication / withdrawal history: Tapered July 2016 to October 2016, unsuccessful and reinstated to 30mg (didn't track specifics) Tapered March 2017 to August 2017, was unsuccessful and reinstated to 35mg (didn't track specifics). Current taper - started 1st January 2018 @ 32.5mg and 2.5mg per month until I reach a dose where 2.5 is > 10% of dose. Morning supplements: B complex, Niagen, COQ10, Black seed oil, Vitamin C, Zinc, Fish Oil, EGCG, Bosweilla Extract, Curcumin (Longvida), Vitamin D, R-ALA, NAC, Ashwagandha (occasionally), Epimedium / Icariin, Resveratol. Evening supplements: NatureCalm Magnesium, Glycine, Ashwagandha, Reishi, Schisandra, Melatonin. I also take Phenibut (maximum 3 times weekly at a dose that doesn't build tolerance) and Oleamide when required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
