Thanks WastingAsparagus - basically I wanted to try reducing my dose because I'm on really high doses of multiple meds that are sedating and also affect me cognitively. Our goal is to slowly lower the total amount I'm on so that I'll have better day to day functioning.

Yesterday got worse - I really wanted to drink and added nausea to my list of withdrawal symptoms. I was throwing up constantly.

I wound up calling and unloading on some friends, and also called the distress centre, Talking to people helped. Then last night I went to an on-line recovery meeting, and that helped a lot.
Today I'm still feeling pretty crappy although I'm at least sort of keeping stuff down. I have a couple of zoom meetings to go to today and otherwise I think today is just going to be about taking it easy and recovering some more so that hopefully by tomorrow, I'll be able to do the cleaning that I need to do so that I can list my apartment room for rent.
