@wonderwoman66 You will get there. I have been off the diazepam for at least 6 months. It is different not having something to calm me. Still I feel better as I can feel things now and it is okay.
I have the same thing with the morning anxiety. I try to get busy doing something. Sometimes music helps and other times it seems to make the anxiety worse. Distraction helps me the most. I love drawing and painting but now having more issues with cervical pain causing severe head pain so cannot be creative like I had been. Struggling with the fears that nothing more can be done to help with the pain. Not looking good for now. Keep hitting dead ends resulting in being referred back to pain specialist and he is not going to do anything either. Yes, the anxiety is hard right now. We just keep doing our best.

@parus You have been off of diazepam for six months and the mornings are still difficult for you? I'm only beginning the second week of post taper life. When does it start to get better? I must sound like I'm whining, but, I feel so lousy today and just want back the life I used to love so much before hitting tolerance and experiencing the anxiety. Btw, did you take diazepam for your cervical issues? That is why I took mine. I was put on it by a former neurologist for muscle spasms. I hope you can get things squared away so you can resume your art. I have exchanged tweets with somebody who does art on Twitter and is currently unable to do so because of her taper, etc. Wouldn't it be funny if you were she, etc.? Best hopes and prayers.
