Been at .125/.125 for a week. Very unpleasant. My chest/ribcage muscles were so tight yesterday that it hurt to yawn. My neck often tightens up when I am trying to go to sleep as part of some kind of anxiety attack. Have trouble getting to sleep and I wake up early, resulting in an increasing sleep debt. Minor sensory disturbances are frequent and often make me wonder if I really heard something or not.
Drinking alcohol in the evening gives some relief for a while. It hits me a lot harder than it used to, so I am getting convinced of the benzo/alcohol cross tolerance thing.
I think I will stay at this dosage for longer than I planned, until the unpleasant effects are reduced. I have a feeling that lowering the dosage now would be extremely unpleasant.
