Has anyone heard of this?

Ive heard Amitryptiline can help but who knows.

I was taking that dose (as perscribed) for 42 months.

Baseline being a 1-2 on a scale of 1-10 and the spikes being 9-10. The bad days can get so bad that Im extremely hearing impared when they occur.

Why such a sharp contrast? How can anyone possibly habituate to this insane cycle???

Keep in mind that .25mg of Xanax is the pharmacuetical equiv. to 5mg of Valium. To add to that, Xanax is both a fast acting benzo with a very short half-life. In other words its a very potent benzo that hits fast and leaves quick. You would be better off switching to Valium if and when you...

Yesterday I posted how delightful it was to be blessed with a quiet day. Today is payback....Ugh!:(

Today I've been blessed with almost complete silence. As I have explained on this forum before, I've been experiencing days where my T is at or below(as is the case today) baseline roughly 48% of the time. This percentage seems to be climbing albeit VERY SLOWLY, but it is improving. While I hope...
