Pidgeon Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Anyone has experience with this? I close my eyes when resting on my bed. This gives much greater relaxation. Makes sense since we cut off stimulation to the nervous system.

CookiePretzel Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Hey @Pidgeon! I absolutely did this. Back when I was in acute. I was so afraid of making withdrawal worse I’d just lay with my eyes shut. I had a routine of riding along to my older daughter’s preschool dropoff, then I’d come home and put a movie on for my youngest and lay on the couch with my eyes shut. The movie would end and I’d start another one. Then I’d go with her and my husband to get my eldest from preschool, they would nap and I’d go back to laying with my eyes shut. It wasn’t my favorite way to spend my time, but it felt safe if that makes sense! 3 1/21 Prescribed 3mg Lorazepam/ day. Fell dependent in 10 days. Attempted 2 CTs before getting smart and tapering over 10 months- .0625mg drop every 3-5 weeks. 2/21 Prescribed 20mg Prozac/ day. 11/21 Finished Lorazepam taper 1/22 unsuccessful Prozac taper (skipping days) 2/22 Reinstated at 20mg daily 5/22 Switch to liquid Prozac 6/22 Begin Prozac taper of .08mg every couple weeks 10/22 Finished Prozac taper. 3 AWFUL days of depression and sickness, then feel fabulous for a couple months. 12/22 Begin windows and waves of depression, panic and hopelessness 6/23 Symptoms stopped worsening but are still present 9/23 Having more good days than bad, symptoms drastically lessening 2/24 Turned a corner and feel healed a great deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked for a few days, then I guess the mind got used to the habit and gave no more relaxation.
