Detox Question? Need Advice

Im into my 6th day of coming off tapering off of 90mgs down to 1mg, then down to zero & I got to tell everyone, it does get better with every passing day! Now I get why you must taper slow! I couldnt imagine detoxing off of a high dose, ugh. I still have the chills, sleep is getting better, my energy is coming back, I feel alot better almost to good, but I do have one question that Im hoping someone can answer, I keep sneezing in the mornings, & I get this drip down my throat that is so annoying & next thing ya know Im coughing, Im not sick & I dont smoke, is this typical? & Will it get better soon? Also is their any over the counter meds that can help? Thanks Penelope

Yes, the sneezing is normal. I have heard you can take cold med for sinus and it will help. Your doing so great !  Truely and inspiration.  Oh, try Alkaselzer cold & sinus tabs.
