Hi, I think you are wise to slow down your taper, and not have a date in mind to get off, just go with the flow of things. I will continue to look for solutions for panic. if that was what that is (it was confusing to me) but thank you for your suggestions. I really don't believe in magic and mysticism. Hello and no offense but I checked out the website with the rings and bracelets you were talking about and they seemed kind of weird to me. (I'd be lying if I didn't admit to that.) but it was a most pleasant surprise to find that I could defuse a panic attack without making a scene just by fidgeting with jewelry - on the outside, a very benign activity - on the inside, a whole lot of "stuff" going on! Good luck! This is all part of our healing process, I think - finding tools that work. Here's another bracelet, (intended to count knitting rows), Ablet, that could work in the same fashion.
( You can't take deep breaths if, well, you can't breathe.) If I can slow myself enough to get past that moment, the rest takes care if itself. Having movable beads allows me that tactile experience to pair with the prayers - helps me to move my panicking brain past the visceral flight moment, which is my biggest challenge. (Mine was originally intended to be a rosary, which I find to be soothing, but any mantra could work). the counting ring also works well if you're a knitter or crocheter!)Īnyway, I also have a bracelet that makes a fabulous on-the-go meditation device. (extra bonus of utility if you play D&D/Pathfinder/Dungeon World. I use wearable fidget jewelry to help me de-escalate during those times.ĬritSuccess has a variety of spinning & counting rings that work very well as anxiety-relieving fidgets. Managing those random panic attacks along the way aren't fun, that's for sure, but it's definitely part of the process - finding other (benzo-free) ways to cope. I have adjusted along the way too and slowing my taper has (mostly) removed my sx. I absolutely hate panic attacks and am now on a diligent search to try to find ways to combat the attacks because if I start having them again at the end of this taper when the C is mostly out of my system I do not want to reinstate this drug!!! I am determined to tough this out and get rid of this nasty Benzo that I have been taking way too long!! Anybody have any suggestions on what to do to curb or eliminate panic attacks? Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I DID NOT DO WELL WHEN I STARTED PANICKING. Regarding the panic attack.I am not sure if it was related to my taper (probably not) but its the first one that I have had since BEFORE starting C which was over ten years ago. Seems like this method is making me feel less rushed and less stressed.
So I decided to lengthen my taper to 10-months by holding every week for a few days. Most of it is work related stress and a lack of sleep. I am not sure if I was experiencing side effects but I had a mild panic attack a week ago and was feeling a lot of stress. I had originally planned on getting this Clonazepam out of my system in about 5-months but I was feeling like I was going too fast. I am doing my liquid taper and was eliminating about 10% of my solution every two weeks and decided to stretch it out to 10% every month instead. Hello Everyone, I hope you all had a good Holiday and are doing well on you tapering.
