"I don’t know what is happening with my body. It is buzzing. It’s everywhere and almost constant. I think my muscles are rigid from the twitching but I don’t think the twitching is visible. I can feel it. My right eye keeps weakening. And then it will clear and then I’ll feel i..."Hi Jessica, I'm really sorry you're going through this. You're going to be okay. Inner vibrations are a common withdrawal symptom. The document I sent you goes into it in more detail and can help you understand why your body is doing this. Regarding your eye, this is most likely a withdrawal symptom too. Withdrawal can affect our eyes too. Many people have experienced these types of things and have recovered, so hang in there. Are you able to sleep at all? Can you take some more time off from work? Also, it may be easier said than done, but can you try and distract yourself from focusing on something else when you're going through this? It might help. https://taper.community/thread/e47305af-d74b-4d06-94eb-743f747886a6 We're here whenever you need to vent or reach out. You're not alone! ❤️

"If you feel really poorly please dont hesitate to go to the ER."This is definitely an option, but they might try to "help" with giving her another drug, which could potentially make things worse for her. It's a tough call in a situation like this unfortunately.

"might try to "help" with giving her another drug" — @CatinaThis is unfortunately the case, however in times of crisis i feel as though its important to get the crisis to stop and then we can taper step by step in a better enviornment.

"in times of crisis i feel as though its important to get the crisis to stop and then we can taper step by step in a better enviornment."BP, do you think it would be safer in her situation to updose the drug that her body is used to rather than adding another one?
