I hope that you can stabelise on 7.5, give it a month or two if you can.
Wish you the best.
Thanks Karin. Good luck with your taper too.
Thank you Betsy I will definitely keep you updated. On Monday I found out my best friend has got cancer back, she has had breast cancer twice before and now its back in her lymph nodes. I think we both knew that didnt sound good. I had very dark depressing clouds over me all last week and when i heard this news I thought oh my god how is my brain going to deal with this when i just need to be strong and there for my amazing friend. Yes I have cried and cried, we both did, but I think that part of my brain is healing and going back to normal as I feel depressed obvsiouly but because my friend is not well not because of my brain readjusting. Every day I am getting stronger and as they say you go into fight or flight mode and right now I cant be flying anyway I need to be there strong and positive for my friend and I absolutely will. Fingers crossed every day it will get better but i will keep you updated. Thank you so much for your help and advice.

I am so sorry about your friend :-( That is a terrible stress to be under while tapering. Take it easy, and hold if you need to. Sometimes if we know we are going to be under stress, it is best to just hold. Stress can bring on WD when our nervous systems are fragile from tapering and we are hit with stress. Be gentle with yourself :-)
Thank you Betsy for your support I will try my best to stay positive and dont let the depression back in. Wishing you loads of luck with your WD take care
Hello
I started mirt to fain weight. A hurricane ripped my home in half, and the stress made me drop a ton of weight. My doc put me on 15 mg. Things were going well until an extreme sore throat hit me. My pcp told me to just stop it. It was the weekend, and my pharmacist said NO WaY.
I dropped from 15 mg to 7.5. I did not stay there long. I amnguessing 5 days.bi then went to 3.75. I managed forc5 days thinking I could muscle through.
Oh, NO. My ribs and back hurts. The heaet palpitations were out of bounds. I had no choice. I went back to 3.75 yesterday. Today is day 2 of 3.75. I want off of this poison SO bad. My pharmacist said to stay at 3.75 for about two weeks then go to every other day. But, since reading all of these comments ( TY
) I have already cut the 3.75’s in half. Talk about tiny and guesswork.
I am to travel in 5 weeks. I sure hope I can make the jump from 3.75 to 1.87. This is horrible.
