Hello people.
Tapering etizolam at the moment, really want to get sober.
Think I might jump off completely tonight, its just been a bit difficult due to having epilepsy and the fear of seizures.
How are you folks?

Welcome aboard.

I am worried that you might have a seizure. Is there someone else with you who can help get you to a hospital if needed?

NeuralPlastic 11-03-2015 12:51 PM

yeah there are people in my house.
I think I should be OK, I tapered down very low and I am not noticing much signs of seizure such as twitching etc.
Kind of feels like the right time to jump off completely

Hey folks, well its been tough but only dosed once this week when I thought I was going to have a seizure and it was 1/20th of a recreational dose.
its hard but I am sticking to it.

Not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination, the panic attacks this morning were some of the worst I have had in my life but I think I am doing as well as I possibly can without putting myself in danger.

When in doubt see a doctor.

Glad to have you here and keep up the good work.
