Phillipa - You are not bothering anyone. If that were the case, then technically we would all be bothering each other and no one would post and the board would not exist.
I have used Chloral Hydrate. Sometimes it is best to go by how you feel. For example, if you were going to fast (never worry about going too slow) you would feel sick or have some side-effect so you would slow it down. If you feel okay at the rate you are going now, then stick with it. When I came off it, I was stuck at 2 cc for a long time (several weeks) and then several weeks at 1 cc. But that was my body. I could not sleep without it and nothing else would work.
How many drugs are weaning off of at the moment? Because that is going to be an issue as well.
Continue to listen to your body. It speaks to us if we take the time to listen (okay hearing voices is not good, but you know what I mean).
You are so courageous to be coming off so many meds and taking control of YOU. I am very impressed!
Keep up the great work!

> Okay, this is the last time I am going to bother all of you with my med issues {at least for now!}. But, this is a very old drug, so old that it is very hard to find anything out about it except it is used with babies, and surgical proceedures now. I've tried Web sites and haven't been able to find out anything about weaning off of it after 8years. Any ideas? I'm down to 3cc from l0-20 a couple of weeks ago. Is this to fast or too slow? Only in your opinion of course. Thanks, Phillipa
