Re: Darlene, you out there?

I forgot to mention that when I was first coming off the AD's that I was in a hyper anxious state as well. I wreaked of the smell of the drugs from all the years of use. I also would sit and shake and sweat and cry and then sit in stuper. I couldn't even read and comprehend a childs story book.

I now believe that the insomnia was induced by the AD's, due to the fact that they screw up your hormones. I had been dealing with insomnia for about 8 years. With the stressful job, no sleep and the AD's depleting vital nutrients from my body, while it screwed up my hormones, my body went ballistic.

I also got to the point where I could not eat and the adrenaline surges caused me to lose weight rapidly. But I did not know then what I know now. And I also was in a fight for my life. So I don't know if I could taken longer to weaned off the drugs. But considering all I had gone through and the years I was on the drugs maybe I should have.

Again, if you took very little time to wean off the drugs or went cold turkey, going back on them may be your best bet with a long wean time, as you support your body with what it needs.

I hope you are doing better, I so wish you were on here now so that we could chat live, (well, sort of live).

Thinking of you and hoping your doing better,
Darlene
