severe benzo withdrawl i think, pls help

Posted by alexcanada on May 8, 2010, at 3:14:23


it's not easy to form my thoughts right now but i need to post this.

i started taking valium/diazepam again and want to know how long until i feel better???

i tried about 6 days ago to stop taking 2.5mg diazepam 3-4 times daily. at first i would go down to 2.5 just once a day and i could feel the withdrawl or that i wasn't feeling well. since then i tried to go completely without it. until taking 2.5mg an hour ago yet no relief! because it's reached the point where i feel i am almost constantly suffering and desperately trying to find ways to distract myself.

about me... i have treatment resistant depression that has been helped to a decent degree by parnate but have fluctuated from 20mg down to 15mg but two days ago have gone back up to 20mg after a few days of lowered dose. normally i stay at 20mg with times in the past at 15mg and 25mg. i also take ritalin which has developed a lot of tolerance and occasional gabapentin. so it's a lot of dopamine meds.

but i never felt as consistently bad as i have for the past 4+ days in a long long time.

hard to think, heart beating quickly often, first sleep was easy but now very difficult, anxiety, poor mood, depressed, bad memory, headaches which are very painful and very warm.

those very warm headaches i would often get in the past at times of bad depression.

any advice would be much appreciated.i cannot explain how painful it is right now
