Waves,
Yikes. That was not fun. I am glad that you found a solution to go up a week and stay there for another week.
I discovered that even though the benzos can be discussed as if they are somewhat equivalent, they seem to have different properties as they leave the body. I felt the XAnax leave my body 10 days after pdoc cut it completely (mostly at my urging and added the equivalent klonopin to my already daily dose of K. (The exact day is a little confused in my head because I saw my acupuncturist for a detox treatment that was a little too aggressive in hindsight and I was miserable -- showed up at tdoc's a day later in a major withdrawal syndrome -- i think the withdrawals only lasted 4 days -- prolly due to the acupuncture.
Regarding sharing this with others. No one gets it unless the went through it and remember it. Keep taking care of yourself. You are doing a good job.

No cleaning. I sobbed and cursed at my tdoc's today. it was early enough in the day that I thought to stop by the beach on the way home. 'Actually went to two beaches-- stopped at one to take pics of plants to text my mom and stopped at another for a chicken gyro at a Greek place on the boardwalk.
The beach is beautiful (and chicken was real --- not like the highly processed stuff in my neighbor hood of over priced junk)
It is 84 degrees, sunny, and breezy at 9 mph winds. We made an appt for me to see her Wed night / tomorrow . . . she said something else that I forget and I told her I have to figure out my bank password to see if I can pay her. I think she and I are mostly on for tom.
'Writing this from my phone. Made a good password guess. Things are good.
