Thanks Trish, I think I may have cut my doseage too quickly. I had quit cold turkey about a week ago (not a good thing to do as I discovered) then the symptoms began. I thought it was just added anxiety from being on vacation, I even started a "vacation anxiety" thread. Then I started to read about benzo withdrawal.
I began taking 1/2 my usual dose again yesterday (or the day before). I have read exactly what you said (after I stopped cold turkey) in several places. thats why I started taking it again. I suppose I need to bump up to 3/4 my usual dose for a few weeks before I try the 1/2 dose.
CDG,
Increased anxiety, insomnia, jitters, lethargy and bowel distress. All appear to be symptoms of withdrawal.
In a way I really hope it is withdrawal, I could rationalize that easier than a relapse.
Mike
