Hey everyone,
Haven't been here in months, mostly because I have been so incredibly happy. Yes, I still struggle with symptoms at times (some sadness, anxiety, etc.) but for the most part I am doing about 75% better than I was. :)
Two awesome things have happened in the past couple of months....
I ended my relationship with my then-boyfriend who was incarcerated. Not that he wasn't a good guy, but I had been putting my own happiness on PAUSE for years, literally. Now I am with a great guy and I am extremely happy. I trust him. He is so supportive about everything I go thru. Its awesome. :)
Secondly, I got off the Klonopin after almost a year of being on it!!! I never wanted to be on it even that long, so I decided to stop. I had inadvertently tapered myself down to about .5mg a day anyway, then I decided to taper to .25mg a day, then I started dosing every other day. And now I'm about 62 days off of it completely. My anxiety was initially worse (of course) but I'm dealing with it really well. I started taking an herbal supplement that's really working well for me. :)
All good things.
