    These drugs and WD cause terrible suffering, Dan, but it is absolutely possible to heal from it. Your body just needs some time.
    Keep walking. Just keep walking.

    How long iggy have you been suffering? I don't feel worse reinstating 5mg but I should give it a few months before I decide if it takes any withdrawal away.

    I have been suffering for a year now Dan, just over a year.

    you have to stick with the 5mg for a while yet, it may take multiple months for things to settle down, and even if you decide to not take the 5mg you will have to taper off slowly, your best move is to stay put, and allow your cns to recover from all its been through recently.

    dont think you will still be as bad as me at 1 year, my situation is more complicated than yours, your gonna do the right thing.
