Luc, thanks for your concern, I will be slowing down my taper as I have found the last month horrific.
Annie, nice to meet you. Thanks for your tips re: nausea. As for the shrink, there aren't many in my area. When I have tried to taper and got sick from the W/D, I stupidly admitted that I had suicidal thoughts (brought on by the drugs!!!) which is where being "formed" and hospitalized enters the equation. I told her I was trying to taper (wrong thing to say!) and therefore she saw me as non-compliant. I had to lie my way out of the hospital saying I was fine, no more suicidal thoughts and it worked. I've only had the misfortune of being in the hospital 4 times and it's no better than a prison. The last time was 2 years ago. Now that I am understanding W/D and it's lovely symptoms, I just see my thoughts and physical symptoms for what they are: W/D and the meds. I am feeling more clear as these toxins are leaving my body. I just present myself as doing well to my shrink and take the scripts so I can continue tapering. It IS frightening how much power these people have and the damage they can do to someone's life.
