Well it’s Monday morning, and it’s the start of week 8. This weekend was a little tough for me, I cannot explain it, but i’ll try… for some or other reason, I feel alot more tense than usual. We visited with some friends on Saturday afternoon. Upon returning from the visit I felt extremely anxious, a feeling I know very well and have learnt to recognise in the last few months. This caught me by surprise as I was pretty certain that last week saw the last of the last symptoms of the withdrawal. Apparently I was wrong.

Now normally I would resort to taking a 1/4 tab of 0.5 mg Rivotril to help me over the speed bump, but I decided not to do it this time, as I cannot keep depending on it as a crutch.

The cold and flu symptom I had last week are still with me, in the form of a heavy head, my head feels like a soccer ball. (That’s the best way I can describe it).. Whenever this feeling appears, I seem to think that it is a symptom of high blood pressure. When I do measure my blood pressure it is a little elevated, typically about 145/90 ..

Anyways, it is now Monday  morning, and I am writing this blog from work, and I must tell you I feel terrible today, for lack of a better word. I have just taken a 1/4 tab of a 0.5 mg Rivotril to help me get through this day. I feel worked up and tense, I cannot explain why ?????
