I've been off the radar for a short time. I made the decision to go off Bac and ease off of my sleep meds. I had been taking diazapam for 2 years at night for sleep, but became tolerant and went into what's called tolerance withdrawl. Not fun! Since both are GABA related I decided to taper off both and start fresh. I'm down to 1mg diazapam and started 30mg Bac yesterday. I already feel the calm returning. Benzos are evil and are prescribed far too often.
The downside to being off Bac for two months is that my social anxiety reared it's ugly head and I became a hermit. Thankfully I did not stop exerciseing so I don't have too many issues to reverse. I did start to open the wine at night too, so I know from the past that that will lessen as I get up to around 60mg. I switched at 80mg so I'm crossing my fingers I won't have to take more. If I do so be it.
