"Catina, is there a way to message staff?" — @Sue G.On the left side of your screen you should see a "Messages" section. Do you see it? You can compose a message there.
"I did a self taper off all Fall 2020 over about 4 months with no symptoms for about 4 months. Then the crap hit the fan and doc reinstated." — @Sue G.I see this happen all the time - a rapid taper, the person feels fine for a few months, and then BAM - withdrawal hits like a ton of bricks. Then withdrawal is mistaken for "relapse" and the drugs are reinstated.
"I am going there in a month to spend at least a month to see if I can get more calm to nervous system that will last." — @Sue G.It sounds like a good plan, and I hope it helps!
"I am looking for support and see people with same, and hopefully healing. Also, to be validated with my symptoms and experience because people who haven't experienced this dont usually understand. It has become pretty isolating and lonely." — @Sue G.It can be a very lonely experience and is why peer-support sites such as this one are so important! We can see that we're not alone in our struggles, and that with one another's help and encouragement we can make it through to the other side.
"Catina, are all these messages between us public?" — @Sue G.Yes, they are. I hope that's okay. It allows others to benefit and contribute as well.
"Catina, have you seen much of the reinstatement not working? And now 5 years later with still no relief. Looking for hope" — @Sue G.I understand your concern about this. Have you had a chance to review the information we have about Reinstatement? https://taper.community/thread/affd8e83-2361-4973-8f07-76d16744448a Generally, it's best to do it early and at a very low dose.
"Is there a way to private message any one?" — @Sue G.I'll send you a private message and then we can take it from there! Hopefully it'll work for me. The site has had a few bugs.
