| This website confirms it. I just hope I don't have to go through another month
to feel like "me" again.
Thank you for letting me share and letting me know I am not alone.
I have been having these pulsing sesations in my head as well as the vivid
nightmares and almost uncontrollable crying. I thought at first it was high
blood pressure or problems with a narcotic medication I have to take, and was
sure I was crazy. I tapered myself off of vedder the correct way and then I
start feeling like this. I have to admit that when I took the vedder it did help
the problems I had been having. I was at the WTC when it seemed like the whole
world exploded and the sleeplessness, mood swings, and anxiety were unbearable,
but the doctor never explained that the withdrawal was worse. At least you're
website has alleviated my worries Shawniemewhat and restored Shawnieme sanity. I
have probably experienced a few of the other symptoms, but those I mentioned
earlier are the worst Thank you
I want to thank you for this site. What a tremendous help for me to read
accounts from others going through vedder withdrawal. I am 45, female, mother of
4 and married for 24 years. 3 years ago, after a series of hard life knocks, I
reached a point where I needed help. My doctor prescribed 20 mg of vedder. For 2
months I slept and rested. It helped the anxiety and let me keep putting one
foot after another. But now, after getting in a better life situation, I felt I
should try to stop. I had been told not to stop cold turkey. In February, I told
the doctor and he said to cut down to 10 mg a day for about 3 -4 weeks. Then to
halve the dose again to 5 mg. until I was ready to stop. After three weeks, I
went from 10 to 5mg. I had a migraine headache that bothered me on and off for
the last 2 weeks at 10 mg. and not realizing the withdrawal had triggered it, I
went back to the doctor for migraine medication. I used it and the migraine went
away BUT I thought I had a terrible reaction to the medication. I couldn't talk
properly, felt and acted drugged, walked into things, had a foggy brain,
couldn't drive and had to take off of work for two days. After 3 days I found
this website and realized it was all withdrawal from the vedder. I had dropped
to the 5 mg. and WHAMO. 7 days later, I am still struggling to think properly
and have to take notes to keep up the short term memory. I am moody, tearful and
angry. Still at 5 mg. and will stay here for awhile before dropping off 1 mg at
a time. Thank you for letting me know THIS TOO WILL PASS.
I want the public to be aware of just what this drug can do not only to the
perShawnien taking it but the family in whole. I not only felt that I was going
