So I've officially quit taking benzos (specifically Valium). I actually didn't mean to, I just ran out and didn't get around to refilling for a few days. I didn't feel addicted to them at all - took only to sleep at night and just the (relatively small) amount prescribed - but I guess my body got completely used to/ dependent on them, because day 2 and 3 felt awful. Crazy, intense headache, chest pain/heart burn, general aches, and the sort of irritability/ Mean Reds that aren't solved by Tiffany's and makes you want to set things on fire. According to Wikipedia, the withdrawal symptoms "e -

So I have been planning this for awhile...today I AM going to finally and completely quit smoking. Send me good vibes, people of the internets, because I am going to need it. But I am determined. I will do this! -
Hi guys, I'm a new user here, but I've been reading this board a lot. I've been bipolar I for slightly over a year now. I'm currently on Lamotrigine 100mg and that has done wonders for me, more than any antipsychotic by itself I was put on. I'm also on 10mg of Abilify. That would have been lower if my country sold lower doses. Now the time has come to quit Abilify for good, hopefully. The thing is, my pdoc wants me to quit cold turkey, since Abilify tablets can't be devided. What can I expect from this, and are there any successtories regarding quitting abilify? -
Hi all I just wondered whether anyone had statistics on relapse rates after weaning off Lithium. I stopped on the 13th Jan after reducing from 800mg in early December and all I can find on the net is that relapse rates can be between 2-4 times more likely on a reduction schedule of less than two weeks. Has anyone found that there is a particular danger zone relapse-wise in weeks or months and what effects to expect, withdrawal or relapse-wise? Do you have a better long-term prognosis if it takes longer to relapse? I.e. does the danger fade with time? Thanks! -
Hello, I'm new, came here and saw the wonderful support in a month of lurking. Some med info in my signature. Other quick info is that I am suspected to have ADHD (not just by myself, but not official diagnosis,) and I have struggled with depression & anxiety issues since long before I ever tried drugs, I used to SI (cutting,) and I'm an abuse survivor (physical/emotional/spiritual.) As well, I have had drug problems in the past, I have recreationally used some medications, but typically it has been some illegal psychedelics, some dissociativies, extasy, alcohol, and weed.
