How to keep going on hardest days tapering
I have been tapering for a long time and down from 5mg to now currently 1.75mg diazepam.
It’s been 7 days since my last taper down from 2mg and suddenly last night been unable to sleep all night, just can’t calm my body or mind it’s like they’re on caffeine or something (I don’t drink caffeine). I have muscle tension and aches and my teeth and face muscles hurt. Weird chest sensations like my heart is stopping. Loud tinnitus and headache. My stomach issues are so bad it feels like it’s upside down. The symptoms are constant for 12 hours now and I’m confused as I was doing well the last few days and able to walk and get in nature and do things around the house (I also have me/cfs but I’m fairly functional at the moment).
Really confused why it’s day 7 it’s hit and why it’s so brutal. It feels like I’m just trying to survive minute by minute. Anyone have any advice or things that helped them cope?
I have been drinking chamomile tea and eating well. I have zero energy this morning though.
I have also been prescribed 10mg propanolol as since being on a benzo I actually found out I have POTS hyperadregenic kind meaning I have adrenaline dumps throughout the day which was mistaken for anxiety, however been too scared to take it due to increase in this ‘anxiety’ when tapering. Has anyone has any experience taking propanolol during a benzo taper?
Thank you ❤️ I just want to get through this hell!
