Ativan/lorazepam tapering from hell please help 🆘
I have been slowly tapering Ativan after 13 months of daily use :3mg and for a month I took way more because I had a traumatic event but after that I went back to 3mg and started to taper from it , does anyone who took this med and tapered or whithdrawaled felt the same ?
Everyday :
\- muscle pain hands and legs and feet and also arms.
\- pain in elbow and knee
\-morning anxiety and rapid heart rate
\- burning feeling in my body.
\- acid reflux
\- a lot of gas , gurgling even in my throat
\- flatulence
\- gas pain .
\- abdominal pain
\- indigested food in stool
\- insomnia
\- headaches - migraines
\- dizziness
\- depression
\- sadness
\- whole body pain sometimes or burning
\- sometimes pain in my heart
\- horrible taste in my mouth
\- sometimes back pain
- Bone pain
I feel like a stranger in my body , I feel like I will never recover from this , I was already feeling this before taper I guess it was interdose withdrawal
I am so scared that I will never heal from this , I feel invisibly handicaped , I can’t do anything like I used to before , I am severely depressed , even taking a shower is a hard task at this point because of my pain and fatigue.
Sometimes I just want to end my life , I can’t enjoy anything anymore even hanging out , or going out , I am bed bound.
I just started some stretching exercise for the muscle and I am going to start therapy next week.
But my physical symptoms are gonna be the end of me.
