havent posted in a while guess this topic came to head to liven things up here, recently ive took a break of absitence from my vals, and have to say first day went by great, second day could feel some of the senses coming back- such as sex drive, increased energy so not feeling tired by mid day, interestingly sleep was better as well, usually have bad insomnia, but anyway by 3rd day end i could feel wds kicking in.think my longest run was almost a week but by the end of it i was in state of different wds over days time usual ones you get that increase in intensity with each day.
Now im not advocating cold turkey as its dangerous for those of us long term on any benzo, but found that with vals i can take few days break every few weeks, does help having clear head and being sort of normal, where any anxiety or panic gets sort of muted and you still function as normal. Now i know this is due to long lasting effects and buildup, and dont wish it on anyone to endure situations where they would be stuck in position without any help and have to endure wds without meds, anyway just wanted to share this and see how others manage or cope when taking or running out of b@nzos.
