Really bad reaction with xywav and now wanting to get off, I’ve only been on for 16 nights, should I take a few partial dose days or just get off? Will I still get withdrawal and what would that look like? I’m panicking
My doctors office is closed on weekends and have no line for weekend help that I could find somehow. Won’t get a response until Monday, it’s Saturday night I just need to know what to do for the next two nights.
Basically I have been titrating up, prescription says once nightly 3g for 7 days, then 4.5g for 7 days, then 6g onwards. Last night was night 2 of 6g and I had a living nightmare of a response. I took it and slept at 10 then I woke up at 12:30 choking gasping for my breath even with my cpap machine on, finally caught my breath then my limbs started feeling tingly (could be from lack of oxygen to brain?). Then a sudden wave of nausea hit me like a truck and I went to the bathroom, vision was dizzy (tia??), threw up then after half an hour on the bathroom floor I made it back to bed, then slept on and off until I had to go to work. Been nauseous all day barely eating or drinking.
I’m afraid for tonight, what should I even do? Called my doc office no way to reach anyone, just sends me to the main office hospital building, they tell me to call them on Monday. So I look to you guys here for any bit of help! Should I cold turkey or will that give me withdrawal symptoms, how bad would it be after just 16 days? Or should I take maybe just 2g tonight so I atleast have something?
