I feel like I can't do this anymore. I want to run away
Supposedly I'm in the hardest phase (months 8-12), but what if I'm already stuck like this? The dose I was taking was very low.
I'm in the hardest phase of PAWS (months 8-12). The derealization, the weird dreams, the feeling that nothing is real... it's awful.
But what if I'm already stuck like this? What if it never goes away?
The dose I was taking was very low. It was alprazolam 0.5 mg tablets, tapered like this:
First 2 weeks: 1/4 tablet at 8:00 AM, 1/4 at 3:00 PM, 1/2 at 10:00 PM.
Next 2 weeks: 1/4 at 8:00 AM, 1/2 at 10:00 PM.
Next 2 weeks: 1/4 at 8:00 AM, 1/4 at 10:00 PM.
Next 2 weeks: 1/4 at 10:00 PM only.
Then stop.
That was 10 months ago. And now the anxiety and derealization are worse than ever.
Can you share your worst anxiety episodes?
