Just checking in
Hi everyone and especially everyone who helped with my paxil w/d, and especially the person who directed me to benzoisland. Im doing the benzo withdrawal now. No fun but it will get done.
My advice: Don't do benzos, they are murder to get off. I had the ativan to help with getting off paxil but now its benzos to reality. Im so appreciative of this site and the benzo site. At the benzo site I switched over to valium and cut the dose. Am down to 15 mg valium now and tomorrow going to the doctor to get the 2 mg pills so I can make smaller cuts. Just want to say to everyone "You can do it" and it will be worth it. Paxil w/d was sickening for me but I got so much help here and will be grateful forever for all the encouragement and information I got from the people on this site. Thanks! Blue

Re: Just checking in
Thanks Jenny. I want to be drug free before my first grandbaby comes in April or May.
Hope you are well and hoping your sig needs to be updated to "feeling better." Blue
