Gps deny long term benzo withdrawal for the most part. They diagnose you with other things and try give you more medications They're drug pushers for big pharma IMO

Watching this just reminded me of a friend who regularly used to say he hated men and if he had a gun he'd shoot them all. He'd say it regularly but I obviously didn't think he was truly serious. Later on I realised he was using some medication, I cannot remember what it was now bit it is banned now in UK. I do not trust ANY pharmaceuticals anymore. I take virtually none and I'm terrified of benzos especially. Stay vigilant people. There's very little profit in healthy people, keep that in mind.

Do you have any thoughts on antibiotics with this journey?
@neighborbob3043 Ай бұрын
Just that they can and oftentimes do make symptoms worse for some. The worst ones I know are flouroquinalone antibiotics. But, that being said, sometimes we "have" to take an antibiotic in withdrawal. If I need an antibiotic, I take this natural supplement instead first. So far it has worked great for me. The directions say 2 or 3 caps a day, I when sick I take three morning and night. Keep them in the fridge and they will last a long time. www.lifesourcevitamins.com/antibiotic-all-natural-antibiotics-90-caps-p-p/anti001.htm?gad_source=1 Hope this helps. Bob

I am now 10. 5 months off xanax, my physical symptoms are less, but I have intense mental issues, they were not as severe as now in earlier months. These mental feelings keep on changing, like today I felt like my brain is disconnected from surroundings and people around. I was just present, but couldn't feel or relate, like I don't exist, it' was so horrible and terrifying. Is this common in benzo withdrawal? Did you feel these types of mental stuff, where you are totally disconnected? I have heavy, weird , screwed feeling in head also. Please help.

I've messed around with benzos on and off for a few years and everytime I quit I have a seizure. Recently, I tried to taper off myself because I wasn't getting them the legal way after almost 2 years of 4-6 mg a day and by day 3 I had a seizure which caused me to faceplant and needed 9 stitches. I know I can get off them once I get passed the danger zone because I've done it multiple times. I really can't afford to lose my job over this so I've already made some doctors appointments to get off them the right way. I don't care about the mental stuff, I can deal with that, I just don't ever want to have another seizure again because it may be the last one. I ride a motorcycle to get to work too so the thought of seizing up while riding scares the shit out of me. I've got a 2 and a half year old and wife to care for. They got me through some rough times, but at this point in my life I know I don't need them anymore. I'll get through it.

I have gone through the worst wave at month 16-20 and I couldn’t for the life of me understand why I was just getting worse and worse. For the last 2-3 days there has been genuine improvement that feels different to the previous windows, my obsessive thoughts and burning brain really reduced. I have a number of symptoms and it’s still not right but I’m hoping this might be it, that it could be the last surge before I really start healing. Was your healing after the last wave instant or did things just gradually get better over days/weeks following that last wave until one day you were like everything is normal again? And is it usually around this 20-24 month mark that the last wave happens?

You do not have to sit in nearly as high of heat, than if you are in a regular stone sauna. I like my infrared sauna at like 135 degree's or so. Start with 10 min and work up slowly from there. Ideally for any chronic health problem. I like to do an hour each morning, and one more hour about 8 pm. Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] for more sauna tips.
