Symptoms: Extreme tiredness, especially in the upper back and neck. Lots of anxiety-type symptoms, weak and shaky legs, shivering and shaking uncontrollably. Muscle stiffness and headaches on waking in the morning. Persistent insomnia--couldn't fall asleep and spent many sleepless nights. Sleeping excessively (9 to 10 hours a day, once I actually got to sleep).
I weaned off 4 medications--paroxetine (Paxil), flecainide (to regulate heart rhythm), warfarin (Coumadin), and simvistatin (statin for cholesterol) without a problem.
It wasn't until I started weaning off the last medication, lorazepam (Ativan) that I realized all these symptoms were withdrawal from the lorazepam! I have not taken any lorazepam in over a week, though the symptoms still persist, yet are milder than before and I can use our famous oils to calm them down to a manageable level. I have to keep applying the oils--vetiver, Balance, Ylang Ylang, Serenity, and sometimes Frankincense--morning, evening and two or three times in between. I am hoping the symptoms don't hang on forever!
I am still religiously avoiding wheat and any kind of sugar, as I think one of these is triggering the cardiac arrhythmia I have had for the last 12 years. If my heartbeat becomes irregular I am finding that Ylang Ylang will calm it down right away.
I hope I haven't led anyone astray with my multiple pleas for help.
