I went to this vendor for a very tough taper for some years. I am now 100% disabled, will be in a wheelchair for life , my autonomous nervous system is broken so if I stand my heart can no longer pump blood from the lower part of my body to my head so my heart will now beat up to 168 bpm to try , It goes back to nearly normal now sitting and laying and when I walk it will range from 45-113 but I cannot walk all over all of the time .. At first I could not even sit up . My heart rate stayed over 113 for 2 months straight. I can now swallow again also , and I have started to eat food again as it completely stopped my digestion but it is slow going, my bladder failed and I have to be straight cathed by my nurse husband as I cannot eliminate at all , BP has been very low at 80/50 but is trying to stabilize at 98-102/70 now ..usually . I lost 40 lbs without trying and my hair which was down past my waist and thick came out by the handful's . The suffering is horrendous . I did the taper correctly VERY slow and still I am destroyed . The taper ended in Nov and we are finding out about this now and I am certainly wondering . My GP says this is one of the worst cases of B poisoning he has ever seen in his career .So I don't know. I'd be hard pressed to take a baby aspirin after this . I wondered if this had been talked about here and I see that it has . Sorry for the TMI but yeah , I'd say get a kit and make sure , I wish I had .
Hi Satin, so very sorry to hear about your condition. I can somewhat understand since I've been disabled for over 10 years, and autonomic dysfunction is one of my issues.
Do you mind me asking about your situation? It sounds like you have post-orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Did your symptoms begin during the taper or only after you were completely off? When you say "B mag," are you referring to benzos or something else? Just wondering because I take benzos for my health condition, and someday I hope to be able to get off them, so I try to gather as much info as possible.
Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not discuss it publicly.
