| Hey everyone
Hello all,
I've posted a few threads a while back on the alcoholism board but as I'm currently coming off Doselupin I thought I'd put the occasional post on this board during the withdrawal period for support I guess.
I've been on a 75mg dose for a while, now successfully and happily cut down to 50mg. Now I'm alternating 50 and 25mg a day, on my fourth day of that now and feel a little strange. I'm DETERMINED to come off these things as I don't think they've really been beneficial to me overall and I have been on them for about 7 years (!) but this is where I've always faltered before, i.e. dropping below 50mg. I'm convinced this is not because I need them but because my brain is so adjusted to having the stuff that it doesn't like the change. But I will be better off without it I'm sure and just wanted to post that I'm really making the effort. It's going to be hard socially - most people around me don't know I'm on the things and will wonder why I'm suddenly a bit strange and detached (which is how I normally get basically...)
One of the issues - I'm finding it hard to concentrate on things (this message is going a bit fuzzy from time to time) and my motivation to do stuff is fluctuating wildly every couple of hours - I'll feel very motivated and active and great, then I'll feel kind of fuzzy and unfocussed and weird, maybe changing 2-3 times in the space of a morning. Anyone else find these things?
hope everyone's doing OK
Tommy
