" Generally withdrawing from a benzo doesn't make you more tired. Benzos are sedating.:
According to you. I was wiped out when I withdrew and you will find MANY have the same reaction. It was called REM rebound and I barely made it threw the day during withdrawal.
"How do you know it's not her thyroid, or she's sleeping poorly, or she working long hours or she depressed (symtomatic of fatigue). etc etc..:
How do you know it is caused by something else as she SAID this happened after cutting? I was going by what she said not you trying to interpret for her, geez. By all means let's keep taking meds that are doing no good for us instead of going off OR finding ones that make us better. I was on meds for 15 years before going off! I am not buying that my brain needs them. Alcoholics and illegal drug abuses say the same things. Meds should help and if they don't change them or go off. I think meds have great value when used properly. I know many here who are helped and I pray all will find that help. If I ever need something I have options but right now they have been making me worse.
I resent having her "fan" club come to her rescue all of the time. I am sick of her being the "first responder" and driving away good people and monopolizing the board. Most people won't say anything for fear of being blocked. I tried the repond to her with tough love and then I get emails telling me to stop picking on her. What is up with that?
I would like to thank Larry Hoover, Ron Hill, Linkadge, SLS, and some dear posters that are not here anymore for their help. The widrawal board was great too and the support we had for each other during the process was extremely valuable. You helped me through a very difficult time. I have reached my level of frustration and it is not good.
I wish everyone the best and may you all find the courage and help to get better. Whatever means works for you go with it.
