Today, for the first time in almost 2 years, both my mind and sympathetic nervous system were quiet.

Last Saturday, I stopped taking the anxiety medication that I have been on for almost 1.5 years. I had been decreasing the dosage in a couple steps over the last month.

The last week or so has been a slow adjustment period, with a some noticeable rebound stress/anxiety.

But today, it is quiet in my head. Or at least, there is no baseline hum of stress, and no tremor of adrenal response.

My ADHD means it isn’t actually quiet for long, but the “room noise” in my head is different now.

It appears that taking it easy actually helped.

It feels good.
