Question

How are you doing today??  What dose are you on and did you taper today?  Hope you are still on here...I have been checking this every so often so we can talk:)

I am here.. heading to bed in a half hour ish.. I went down a bit on saturday. I only taper on weekends since I usually have some tummy distress and like to stay near the bathroom.. I also get a little anxious and i don't work well like that so i do it on my days off..
How are you tonight?? How is your taper going?? Do you have a plan laid out??

I stayed on the same dose today (2).  I was planning on going down to 1.5 tomorrow, but the craziest thing happened tonight!!  I took my last dose around 7pm and got REALLY sick.  Nausea/vomiting/ect.  Could have been something I ate, but I am associating it with that pill...Which is great.  I am actually feeling really good today and am thinking I can see the end of this.  Yesterday was bad, today was good, and back to work tomorrow.  Hoping I am feeling this good tomorrow and am productive at work.

thats awesome that you feel good today.. I hope that you will have a good day tommorrow as well.. it really is a baby step process.. if you hang on a follow your taper plan.. you will have many good days.. I keep some OTC stuff around so if I start feeling bad I am prepared for it and have the stuff availabel to help ease whatever is going on so that I don't wanna reach for that extra pill .. Immodium helps alot...Hylands Restful Legs tabs ( they sell em at Walgreens)  Motrin,  B12 vitamins help I started drinking that Emer gen cee drink stuff on a suggestion from Marce,  eating salt helps with the chills.. I don't know why it just does.. 
So I hope you are prepared for whatever comes your way.. it helps alot to plan it out and stock up..
