Thanks for the comment on my name. My angels are being stubborn right now. I could use them to calm me down from my neck pain right now. I collect angels and have them all over my house, I have several paintings of them also.
Sorry......I am so proud of you that you didn't take a pill to go to the dentist. That is wonderful. The breathing exercises that you were talking about, what is that all about!!! I have a strong mind and try to take deep breaths in some situations but my pain is high and it is not working.

Jube....take care of yourself and I am proud of you and have a wonderful pain free weekend.

I take one day at a time slow and steady. I think I told you I was going to Mexico well I have been to Cozumel and now I'm back had a great time, I just missed my granddaughter being born.
 
Hey JJ,

Thanks for the update. I was very happy to hear you were doing so well!! It sounRAB like everything is falling into place for you and that is wonderful. These things take time but in the end I think you will be so glad you make the change!

I felt bad when I realized last night that you posted this question a couple of weeks ago and there was no response. I don't ever like hear of people going thru this struggle with out some support from people like us who understand! I am glad you still were hanging around here to notice you had a couple of posts from us.

I pray your tapering continues to go well. Withdrawals are horrible but hopefully yours will not get too out of hand on you.

Feel free to keep posting your journey! It is helpful to so many others who read and participate on this site. I also wanted to say that I was sorry to hear in your previous post about the loss of your Mother. I am sure it was a terrible thing to have to go thru and I pray that is something I will not have to deal with for a long time... My heart breaks just thinking of losing my own Mother so I am sure you went thru a very hard time with it.

You will be in my thoughts.. I am sending some healing vibes your way!

Hi Angel I don't want to scare you but, from what I now know if I had to do it all over again I would never had taken this poison to begin with. This drug effects your brain and your central nervous system and even though you are on a small dose, please proceed with caution. I started on a very small dose and from what I have learned even a dose of 0.5 mgs you can still suffer from withdrawels when you go off it . I can only tell you what I personally know and that is Benzos can ruin your life. I wish you well and I am glad to hear from you. Everyone here is so kind and I am grateful I joined. JJ
 
Hi redrockrag Dr. Ashtons researched and wrote a manual for coming off of ativan or the benzodiazpines with with a slow taper schedule. Are you tapering off Lorazepam. I was up to 12 mgs which is equivilent to 120 mgs of Valium , so I need to be below 6mgs to cross over to the long acting valium which is better because you don't have those interdose w/RAB. Take Care. JJ
 
Hi Secret thank you for thinking of me and hope all is well with you.I am down to 10 mgs from 12 and so far I have been ok had a little problem with anxiety. I just do my deep breathing, I even went out to lunch and shopping. Take Care, JJ

Thanks for the info. it's pretty bad that we find out more on this site then from our own dr. I will try to do what you said. carrara
 
You are very welcome!How are things going for you? Are you tapering? This drug is a nasty drug and I wish I knew then what I know now, but we can't go backwarRAB. Take Care, JJ
 
I started Qi Gong and his meditation tape puts me to sleep everytime I never knew I could do that without a drug to help me sleep.Oh and Lyn thanks for being my friend.Take Care, JJ
 
jubejube Hi, thank you for taking the time to post about me being on Lorezepam. I am not taking them much, just when I am desperate and can't settle down and will try to take it to sleep. My doc told me to take them sparingly and that they were a controlled prescription and I freaked about that after what hell I have just gone through off of the suboxone. After reading your post I will not touch them again. I had already given my husband the bottle of them to put away because I was worried and I certainly don't need them, I do have a strong mind. I haven't had one in 3 days so I don't need them. Thank you so much for your opinion, I do value it.
Hope you are doing well.
Thanks again Lyn in Michigan
 
Hi Secret yes I am alright so far I am down to 10 mgs and next week I drop to 9 mgs ,but so far I have had shaking stomach and feel a bit anxious but nothing I cannot handle so far. thanks for asking. Take care, JJ
