Thanks willie
Honestly I'm hoping I might be one of the irritating ones as considering the number of years I have been on these? I'm finding tapering down to be relatively painless. I was scared to death by some of the stories I had read and heard but my experience has been different, I guess physiology plays a part to some degree? Gabapentin is something I have access to in bucketloads and I found out that at least in small bursts and even in small doses it almost completely negates symptoms for me. Not a crutch I want to rely on regularly as it is addictive itself but good in an emergency.
Either that or I have one hell of a wake-up call ahead of me in the not so distant future, probably this in all honesty, luck isn't something I'm usually blessed with but I'm thankful to have been able to get this low without major problems. I have certainly been luckier than most thus far as I appear to be one of the symptom light people Dr Ashton alludes to in her manual. I have committed all the cardinal sins all the way along like drinking on them relatively regularly and taking painkillers etc we'll see what the future holds..
Hell, most likely

One step at a time, I may not the there yet but I am closer than I was yesterday...
