Slept well. The day was pretty good, when the withdrawl started i felt alert and focused, even energized. I really would have liked to stay in that state. Now at night it changes to light desperation and anger, restlessness. I hope it won‘t be that bad the next days. I‘ll probably take a (non-benzo-related) sleep aid (cycloheptadine) for the worst days. Honestly, i don‘t want to go through this anymore 😅 but there is no other sustainable way and the last days after my updosing weren‘t as good either.
I just fear unproductive rage. But let‘s see.
Have a good night y‘all!
