I never needed these drugs , i was having situational anxiety and dealing with emotional pain from past experiences and pms . I went to hospital and they prescribed me paxil. Dr. Wasn't pushing it on me. I told him I'm not sure if i want to go down that path. Anyway he called next day , and told him i would not be taking medications , what i needed was therapy, he said fine. He wrote a referral to a counselor. I started like a 2 week later. Unfortunately i left medication in the corner of my bedroom. I didn't throw it away in the garbage. My husband kept insisting and insisting i take medication, i kept saying no no ,i already told Dr i don't want to take that path. Anyway fast forward April 2023. My husband insisted and insisted again , i don't know i felt pressured , i gave in, my life is over. They gave me Benzo, paxil, Lexapro. I truly never needed them 😭 . I can't function. It horrific horrific, i might die by suicide. I eas never suicidal before those drugs.

Stay strong and take help from homeopathy medicine to reduce the banzo dose very slowly... It will help to reduce the side effects which you are facing ... And try meditation, you will be okay in 6 months.

I'm a Klonopin refugee.8 years.I tried cold turkey not knowing what I know now.Nightmare!! Involuntary tics, almost like a mild tourrets syndrome for lack of better analogies, anxiety on steroids.Sadly,as of yesterday I'm back on them again after a discussion with my shrink It's the tics guys.After 3 months off of them,the tics aren't any better.Can't take it.I took a .5mg, no more tics.

I have the belly symptoms from around 5/6 weeks diazepam 10/20mg a day. Stopped 3 weeks ago after rapid taper and my digestive machinery from mouth to exit feel poisoned and shut down. Finally the hypnic jerks have finally stopped making me jump out of my skin and my depression has started to clear.

I got off klonopin around a decade ago, did a liquid titration doing 0.1mg drops every few weeks, once off the withdrawals were hell but for me it was the post acute withdrawals that just went on and on that did me in, I wound up taking street methadone which made me feel pretty good, and feeling good while going through benzo withdrawal lead me to the path of methadone addiction. i was on it many years after, im now 6 months off methadone but stayed in it for a decade (that was a mistake), sure the opiate withdrawals sucked but it was much easier then benzo withdrawals and rarely lead to death, I pretty much bypassed the benzo post acute withdrawals this way. I know its VERY unorthodox but ill take a methadone withdrawal over benzo post acute withdrawals any day as i was still able to function even during acute withdrawals. I only bring this up because it worked out for me in the end and its just what i did to get off and stay off, I'm not recommending this I'm just saying my experience

Being there done that.. more than once..the last time was 12 years ago. It took me a long time to regain my sanity and health but it passed. I quit cold turkey but I suffered. Watching this video is a great reminder. It can be done and trust me.. it’s so worth doing. Hang in there.. this too will pass.

This chap has no idea the pride and self-confidence, the beautiful clear headspace he’s going to be gifted with when he gets this right. At the time we have nooo idea how to even conceptualize what we could become - and yet it will happen unseen in the background until one morning months later a smile forms out of nowhere. That’s the day you’re reborn into an enlightened new you - as free as you could ever be * and more grateful and humble than any human being you’ve never known. Look forward, surrender forward, dig deeper than you ever think you can. No matter what happens, realize: YOU. ARE. HEALING

I cold turkeyed from Klonopin and it nearly killed me, this stuff is the devils candy. I'm in my second year of withdrawal, still getting this humming sound in my head, the odd panic attack, muscle soreness, sometimes I feel so weak but i'm just eating healthy food and building up the amount of exercise i do.

I hope to God someone responds to this. When I was 15 I had cancer and was put on a massive dose of every benzo you can imagine. Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, zan, temazepam,etc. 20 years of benzo addiction from drs putting me on meds no minor has any way to tolerate. Now I'm homeless living in a car having seizures due to improper benzo taper. Every micro second is a living hell. My whole body shakes, feels like fire. I can't eat I can't sleep I can't work. I WISH I DIED OF CANCER THEN GOING THROUGH THIS SHIT. I don't think I will survive. I don't know what to do if ANYONE can respond I would greatly appreciate it. It took me 49 min to write this because I shake so bad.

I'm down to 1/10 my original dose after 2 years of tapering, 13 years on K... Some things that have helped is naming the symptoms- I get a lot of DPDR, rebound panic, headaches, cut too much and the ground is moving, inner vibrations. What I've found is using a jewelers scale to cut micro amounts and to hold when the symptoms are intolerable to a point where I'd lose my job etc if I cut any more. In the beginning at 2 mg K I made .25 cuts and held a couple months each time, after 1 mg I cut .125 every month, had to hold a year at .5 due to severe life stress that wasn't due to tapering (I don't advise this) and then I cut .125 again, had to hold a while because of severe withdrawal symptoms and ever since .375 I've been on a micro taper where I'm cutting .01-.05 when I can tolerate it. I'm down to 0.19 as of yesterday. I still get withdrawal symptoms, I've accepted the tinnitus and a bit of dissociation is just something I have to soldier through. High dose CBD has helped me quite a bit with some of the tremors and other neurologic symptoms. Best of luck.

It has also helped me to concentrate all my work into 3-4 days a week so that I have a nice 3-4 day buffer zone for each dosage drop to get through the worst of acute symptoms.
