Jumped at 2mgs, Day 10!!!

To be honest, I probably should’ve taken a year or so to do what I’ve done so far in order to be as w/d free as possible but I was in a hurry too And yes, I’ve been in pretty much a mild state of w/d for a while now as I did go so fast but now that I’m at 2 mgs, I can see that I’m going to have to slow down some. Ive been at 2 mgs since last Wed and still stabilizing here. Having lots of sweats, tiredness and some depression.

I was having some health probs that I think were caused by the Sub (being on a high dose for a long time) and I was very afraid of having to have surgery. I was very motivated to taper quickly. I’ve also quit smoking during this taper so it’s been a double whammy withdrawal wise

I was very, very happy on my 24 mgs of Sub…I had no back pain and I realize now just how happy I was. Since about 6 wks into my taper, the depression/lethargy/fatigue started and I battle it everyday and especially 4-10 days after a drop.

Now, that I’m at 2 mgs, I need to go a bit slower. I’ve missed a lot of work the past 6 wks and some days did not want to get out of bed. It’s not a big depression but more a feeling of being "flat"…that’s the best I can describe it. If anything, I miss so much feeling happy.

romeo and others who have jumped and have some time under their belts assure me that my happy will come back and I believe them As I said…this takes a lot of courage and pushing yourself and we take it one day at a time!
