Hey all,

I know I have not been online in a very LONG TIME...

I wanted to let you all know that I am getting better and that it is possible..don't give up!

I came off of ambien (10 mg a day) in March, went through withdrawal, and I have also cut from 1.5 mg of klonopin a day to .625 mg a day. I got pretty sick coming off the klonopin, but no panic...I was very lucky in that sense...(I was on both since last August).

I am happy to say that I feel more awake, the horrible intrusive thoughts that I had are gone, and I do not feel that panicky overall any more.

And I can actually feel something resembling happy! How cool is that? He he Getting better!

And I am STARVING... (my appetite was gone for a very long time).

Best wishes to everyone...

Yack! I've missed you tons!

I'm so happy to hear things are getting better for you. I remember when you first came here and were quite a mess...the last I heard from you, you had progressed only a little. Sounds like you've received a much-needed miracle!

I'm happy for you, Yack. We've had a couple of APBs out for you and I was worried. Thanks for checking in!
