i am assuming that not having the drug in my system is expediting the withdrawal process. do you agree, or do you think i should take a small dose immediately?
No, it is making the w/d process WORSE.
You DO NOT speed up anything by stopping
a med at once, and you are SHOCKING your system.
You are doing harm by preceeding without knowing
any real facts about how to withdraw from a med.
Cardiact or CNS hazardous events can and will happen if you contince as you have been.Quite frankly, if you do not understand how this works, you are really playing with fire.
Have you consulted a doc about this ? Sorry,
I am really uncomfortable giving you medical advice. Here is a clue:
1) w/d has NOTHING to do with lowering the levels of a med in you body
2) w/d has EVERYTHING to do with your body having adjusted to the presence of this med. Tapering allows your body to slowly abjust to less of the med.Sudden succession of this class of meds is known to cause:
seziure, CNS shock, Cardiac events (stroke, heart
attack, very high blood pressure)
