Hi Guys, I would like to know anyone that took the antivirals that had ear fullness. Do you feel the pressure increasing before it's time for your daily dose? This happens and I haven't eaten anything yet in the morning and it happens everytime. Also when I'm going to take the 2nd dose an hour before my ear symptoms start increasing. I'm still going through benzo withdrawal from Klonopin because I was on it for anxiety. That pill is pure evil!! I was told it can take years to recover. I didn't have the ear fullness before all this. It gradually happened months after coming off the Klonopin. How do you taper the antivirals? I don't know if it's helping because of the withdrawal.. I've been on the antivirals for I think 9 months now. Do antivirals cause withdrawal symptoms too? I'm all messed up. My doctor didn't properly taper me off benzos and I've been sick for 2 years with horrible symptoms. Please any information concerning the antivirals is helpful. If I sound pathetic I'm just in a lot of mental and physical pain. Thank you all.
Hi AEC. I'm not on AV's but have read plenty of folks say the symptoms can get worse for a while when you first start AV's. Hang in there. Others will chime in that have experienced what is happening to you. I call it a "flare" when the fullness sets in. Stress and worry is a major trigger for me and many others.
Antivirals do not require a taper and have no withdrwal symptoms that i am aware of and i did take them for several months.
What you are experiencing is almost certainly withdrawal from the K. It took me over a year to taper off, and I experienced unbelievable symptoms, including that one. Another nice bonus that our genius doctors gave us. Go to the benzo buddies forums and you'll get a TON of helpful advice.
