Damn Mis

So you're doing the dual-detox thing? Opiates and BZDs. Wow.

That's impressive. Mightily so.

"day 2 of benzo free after a xanax taper (i ended up not really tapering right...i took none wed-fri, then 5 sat-sun, then quit)"

Heh :tongue2: That sounds like me! I can't STAND the intense Zannie w/ds when they come on, my LORD. It's tough, and I haven't strung together any days completey Zanny-free, but I sure have just collapsed and taken 2 or 3mg when I was down to .5mg. Then, back to the strict regimen again.

It's tough.

"anyway, i have been going through the night sweats, the excessive fatigue, the back pain....it feels just like an opiate detox...is this benzos?"

Yup, sounds like your opiate detox; yet like you said, it's been 19 days. So that doesn't jibe.

i have also been sick, so maybe that's it. just can't figure out why i felt so well last week, then hit with a hammer again this week...
thanks for any opinions

Well, ok. Strictly opinions then, ok? Could be onset of a new cold? Flu? (Hope not.)

Yet it all times with your complete Xanax-cessation. So, who knows? I wouldn't rule it out. I've now heard of flu-like symptomatology associated with a tough BZD detox, and I (once) didn't think that made any sense.

Differential diagnosing over the damned net by a bunch of lay-persons like me. LOL I guess that's the best you get on here, eh?

Wishing you the best in the coming days. Hell, wishing me the best. I need it too!!!
