Tapered 225, 150, 75, 37.5 in approx 2 wks. Took last 37.5 yesterday.
I do have some left ICOE!
Only thing that's happening is like hot flashes, getting really hot/warm.
Besides above, and a bit of insecurity re: driving, that's about all I recognize.
The other meds which I do now take may have helped this withdrawal. They are Seroquel, Trileptal, and Valium 10 x3 a day.
Again, no IRL people are stepping up to help me, except my one daughter, but her husband, my fam' in IA, and other two children, think I am putting too much responsibility on her, monopolizing her. My son would rather I ride a bus, than ask him to come over to help me w/ something. I know it sounds like I'm feeling sorry for myself. Where has everybody gone, I keep asking myself. Guess they've tired of my 'neediness'.
I pray for God to take this 'neediness' and help me be happy w/o IRL people, w/o validationan being wanted, ... just to be my own little person and to somehow give, to those who have given to me, and to others I may be able to help in some way. Yes, I'm praying hard for this.
best wishes, cf
