At 11 weeks my fatigue has recently changed. I get these bouts of extreme fatigue accompanied by really wild drowsiness, I almost feel drunk? My speech gets really slurred and I can barely keep my eyes open. Anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? I’ve felt tiredness like this before but as like a one off not something every day 😭
Im one day away from being at 11 weeks.
For the past week or so I’ve had insanely bad dizziness, vertigo, etc. doesn’t matter if im sitting, lying down or standing. It’s pretty much constant. Doctors are useless. I’m going insane. Anyone have any advice for what I can do? I really can’t live like this I can’t even work or anything 😭
Hi! I’m at almost 5 days quitting vaping. My chest is hurting soooo bad!!! I swear in the past when I quit for like eight months (several years ago) I didn’t get such bad pain but I’m not sure I was vaping quite as much as I am now.
I feel very “air hungry”, I can breathe shallow breaths fine but deep breaths really hurt across my chest and even when I do breathe in deep I don’t feel like I’m getting enough air.
It’s causing me a lot of stress and causing me anxiety which is then making it harder to breathe at times. It’s been happening since yesterday. How long is this supposed to last for? Is there anything I can do to alleviate the pain? I’m also asthmatic! Don’t usually use a regular inhaler but I do have a fostair nexthaler?
I have severe PMDD & I’ve noticed throughout tapering and withdrawal that my symptoms definitely seem a lot worse in the 10 day lead up to my period.
Previously I’ve been on the mini pill (it’s the only one I can and will take btw so please don’t recommend other types of BC), and it’s always helped so much with my PMDD - now I’m wondering if it might be a good idea to restart my BC or if it’s too soon? I’m in hell most days due to horrible symptoms where nothing I do can help. Does anyone think BC, which has been so beneficial to me in the past, could help now? I would need to go back on it at some point anyway but I’m just so nervous about making things worse.
Thanks in advance!
I am on day 67 since my last dose of diazepam and I still feel absolutely awful. I am wondering if vaping is making me feel worse.
I’ve been wanting to quit for a long time now but my doctor advised not to while dealing with tapering/withdrawal. The reason I’ve wanted to quit is because I was dealing with severe mouth dryness, throat pains and recently shortness of breath which is triggering for my anxiety. Because I’ve spent so much time in the past six/seven months hiding in my bed, my vaping is worse than ever. I just puff constantly and excessively. I want to quit but I feel so horrific every day I’m scared of the added stress on my body but also if I keep going.
I’ve successfully quit before using nicotine lozenges but I’ve tried twice recently in the past month but only made it a day or two. Anyone quit after stopping benzos? Any improvement? Any tips for quitting and making it stick?
I’m curious exactly what others experience
I have been off diazepam for 9 weeks and 1 day. I was on a low dose daily for six months total including taper.
I have some days where I feel slightly (very slightly) better or at least days where I can mask pretty well around others that I’m okay when I’m really not.
I am in hell pretty much every day. I have had dealt with crippling health anxiety for ten years now (with other anxieties as well but my health/death anxieties are the worst) but it is worse than it’s ever been right now. I struggle with so many symptoms from withdrawal that I’m constantly worried something is more seriously wrong with me. I’ve had bloods, eye test & OCT, ECG and they’ve all came back fine except for really low iron & vitamin d (I’ve been taking tablets for a few months now). I’ve been referred to neurology because my symptoms are still so extreme. Grounding techniques, distractions, meditation, etc absolutely nothing is working for me. I feel like I genuinely want to rip my skin off with me nails and scream almost every minute of the day. I have therapy starting the 13th of May after waiting since November. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to survive this anymore it feels like it’s never ending…
