Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Actually this is a good thing as it answer the question of IF you are actually ready to wean down at all. You are not. I would raise the odse back upo to a 32-35mg levels and get feelign better again. Thsi also means that the fluid is NOT from high coritls but probably fom lwo thyroid or potassium. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Milena, From Xanax to Klonopin is out of the frying pan and into the fire. If you search "klonopin" on the group, you will find many horror stories of what people have had to go through in getting off of it. It's highly addictive, and that means even a very small amount for a very short time. And coming off of it is a total nightmare. Peggy Re: Val,HC dosing,need help Kathleen,I went down with 5mg.That what Val said for bed time makes sence but I hardly coould make it with 2.5mg when I was taking the 27,5 mg forthe day and went back to 5bed time. I like your suggestion for the dosing and I think I will got for it. What you are saying about the xanax makes sence and I'm thinking if I need a few days for lowering the dose it's all worthed.I have clonopin and should do the trick. Kathleen what about the neurotransmiters? I'm curently taking just 5-HTP but nothing else.Do you mind emailing you privately about the meurotransmiters ,since it's not a topic for the forum.Thanks so much again KathleenMilena> > > > > > >> > > > > > > Val, I'm not sure I should post this here but I'm in a big truble with my HC dosing. > > > > > > > I'm on 30mg HC for 10 days and still have issues,today was very bad ,I had nausea 2 times but I don't want to give up,because I beleive I need to lower the amount.> > > > > > > My question is for the dosing.> > > > > > > I'm on > > > > > > > 8am 10> > > > > > > 12 7.5> > > > > > > 2pm 2.5> > > > > > > 4pm 5> > > > > > > bedtime 5 > > > > > > > Is it ok if I try every 2 hours like that> > > > > > > 8am 7.5> > > > > > > 10am 2.5> > > > > > > 12 7.5> > > > > > > 2pm 2.5> > > > > > > 4pm 5> > > > > > > bedtime 5> > > > > > > I just wonder if startign with 7.5 in the morning may let my adrenals to produce more for the day.> > > > > > > thanks a lot > > > > > > > Milena> > > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > >> > > >> > >> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi Peggy, I did not know about it. I have some given to me from years ago and hardly ever used it but since all of this meds are doing the same ,Xanax,Clonopin,e.t.c I thought they should be with the same effects.I guess ones are stronger then others and more addictive from that. So,is Xanax not so bad to use for once in a while?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Val, I do think I may be pushing too hard but I did test my electrolytes and th epotassium is 4.2 which you said is good. About hte thyroid I know I'm low on it but never could raise it more then 40mcg T3,even on a 35mg HC. With that I was still like a baloon,my face all swollen,my legs,my fingers. Now being on the lower 30mg HC for longer time,then a few days the swelling is gone. That why I'm tryin gso hard to find away and dosing to stay on it.I don't want to feel bad and go through that but if that is the right thing to do for my body. Thanks so much Milena > > Actually this is a good thing as it answer the question of IF you are > actually ready to wean down at all. You are not.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi Milena, My understanding is that all benzodiazepines are highly addictive and vicious to get off of. You can do a search, but I think Xanax is a benzo, and I know for sure Klonopin is, along with Valium, Ativan, etc. I don't know about "once in awhile" use, but I do know that they're very addictive, and even a little can cause dependency problems very quickly. There are threads on this subject both here and on the adrenals group. A number of members have had big problems with them. Peggy Re: Val,HC dosing,need help Hi Peggy,I did not know about it. I have some given to me from years ago and hardly ever used it but since all of this meds are doing the same ,Xanax,Clonopin,e.t.c I thought they should be with the same effects.I guess ones are stronger then others and more addictive from that.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Val, I'm in a big truble and need your help. Yesterday I highered my HC dose because of anxiety and low corts symptoms probably up to 33mg and I woke up a little ago and I'm all puffed again. My face,my eyes,my fingers are all like swollen extremly. That confirms I'm swolling from a high cortisol.I don't know how to spread the 30mg dose on which I don't have the water retantion? My long time dosing was 35mg though and I have been with many different dosing on 30mg,and some of them worked for a while but tehn went down hill.I have to find away to go the lwoer dose and am feeling so disguraged.
