Tis I. Blondechick..aka Heather. I'm an addict and slowly becoming known as "b****". As most know I"m tapering, doing well I might add too. Here's the problem...I"m so moody and shortfused. Is this normal?
Did anyone else have this problem???

BC,
I completely hear you...funny enough when i fist dropped my intake, i got an energy burst that i hadnt seen in years..felt GREAT!!! that was when i first dropped down however ( went from taking 20 a day to 8 ) but once i started weaning down to half of that...oh MY GOSH..i felt terrible..terrible.
Dont forget, that we fudged around with our brain chemistry the whole while we abused the pills, so we gotta expect that their will be some changes taking place when we again change the intake...
The good news is however that our brains will rewire and you wont feel like you are now forever...
what helped me during this time was to take extra Vitamin B6 and B12 ..as well as GABA, all available from the healthfood store...GABA is a natural amino that calms anxiety, and which under normal circumstances, your brain would make enough of...because we altered our brain with the fake "feel good emotions" our brain relaxed or stopped completely, the making of endorphins and essential amino acids that we need to feel great, thinking we didnt need any more...
Hopefully those around you understand what you are going through, and will be supportive during this time...be good to yourself,, take hot baths, and dont set up anything that is extremely stressful wile you are withdrawing like this...
As horrible as the thought may be, exercising is one of the fastest ways to get those natural endorphins flowing, so even a walk around the block will force your brain to start making them again....
Give yourself time and know that many have walked in the shoes you are now in, and have gotten through it and taken back their lives..
Keep posting..
hugs

It is VERY NORMAL. When you are tapering. When you are detoxing. Even when you are using. It takes a while to be clean to lose some of the bit*hyness. Like I said some of it. Ha. I can still be a pretty big bit*h sometimes. No excuse for it but it is what it is. I am a woman and I can do that damn-it.
Hang in there. It will get better when you are totally clean. It may happen gradually but it will happen:-0)
