Have you been to see your doctor---talked with them and got a good check-up? It may be time to do that. At 7 weeks you really should not be feeling this poorly. Please see your doctor to make sure everything else is okay.
totally agree with ibkleen while every day is not a picnic you really shouldn't be having the issues you are having - please go get checked out thoroughly. Everybody handles detoxing differently but at 7 weeks which is about where I am you should not be having cognitive deficits to the extent you are reporting- are you taking any other meds? Maybe a full blood work up and psych eval are in order to make sure there are not other issues or undiagnosed conditions. We are all thinking about you!
Bunco, I agree that you shouldn't be feeling this badly right now. Are you still taking the benzos?
IT IS THE XANAX. And see a Dr. and start to wean off of the benzo. It's going to continue to make you feel lethargic and unmotivated.. believe me I remember. And you're on a pretty high dose is that right? 4 mgs a day which would total 8 pills of the .5 mg I used to take and that's a lot, bunco,
You're so close - please see the Dr. and get started on this!
I agree its the xanax as well. I have hit some bump lately too,,no motivation and energy. Ive been reassured that this will pass too. You/We just have to feel it sometimes! 7 weeks is HUGE accomplishment!! Dont give in. ((Hugs))~Bkitty
Totally agree with the others, ya gotta go see your doctor and get a plan for weaning down on those things - you are doing so well, it is all part of the process - moving ahead to the next hurdle now which is the xanax. You will be amazed how much better you feel off them. When I weaned down and stopped, after the initial feeling like dog doo for a week I came out from a dark cloud. I PROMISE you your brain will feel better.
