Can someone tell me if I’m going slow enough

So sorry to hear what you’re going through. Not sleeping has been the worse withdrawal symptom for me and I think if I was sleeping better my recovery would be further along. This experience is truly a 24/7 nightmare. My wife and I have been together for 54 years and very happy but these past few months of my taper is really testing our relationship. I feel so bad that I’m putting her through this and sometimes think she’d be better off if I was gone. Dark thoughts.
It’s so hard to be patient when you’re hurting so much but I guess we have no other option but somehow find the strength to keep going. Good luck to you also.

I’m 75, and I’m assuming you’re in my age bracket as well. I think we older folks have a tougher time getting off the meds. Let’s see if we can stay strong- maybe cheerlead for one another.
