Rescue Dosing Anyone know?
Ok hello and hi!! I am really wanting off subs, been taking them 4.5 years. First year I went from 12-4mg, and stayed at 4mg with occasional months at 2mg, then back to 4. When I stopped taking them consistently a month ago, I was taking 4mg. Interestingly , my symptoms are fairly manageable for the most part. Around the between the 8-12 day mark, my symptoms peak, it’s bad…shivers, crawly skin, foggy thinking. I am schooling and working full time, so I can’t really slow down. I take about .25-.5 mg and it takes the edge off. Then the cycle repeats.
Does anyone know if I’m just resetting the clock? Nearly every other medication can be tapered this way with the window between dosing getting longer and symptoms growing milder. I cannot find any info online and just want to be sure I’m not fooling myself and stuck in a cycle of mild crappy, then bad crappy, dose, then back at it all over again.
Thank you for any answers, even if you’re not sure…I just appreciate this thread and anyone willing to chat.
