Angie, what you say towards the end of this video, “the reality of the situation is that you will heal from this” that bit has helped me so much. I literally have a screen recording just of that little bit to help me when I am having a horrible time. I get so stuck in believing the lies, believing this is the end and that healing will never happen. I worry about all of the million things in my head that could possibly go wrong, but we you said also 99.99% of what you thought never came true. And so far neither has what I fear. Thank God. Because it is horrible. I began tapering a year ago from 2.5 mg Xanax plus 4 mg Valium. As of now I am down to 0.85 mg Xanax and no Valium. It is horrific but your videos have helped me a lot. I just had to come back and say thank you! Please don’t stop helping people. We truly need it so badly

My psychiatrist is tapering because of his license. Having that in the back of my mind makes me angry. I been on Xanax for 15 years as prescribed . I'm on 1.25 a day. I tapered .25 mg within the past 2 months. I had to decrease .50 extended release to .25 rapid release. I also take 1 mg of extended release in evening . But we are tapering morning dose first. I have bipolar , depression , anxiety and trauma . I'm also on other meds to keep me stable. My dr tried telling me I shouldn't feel withdraw and I was awful. Brain burning, muscle twitching , vision problems etc... I'm angry drs telling me how I feel. So now he wants to change other meds. I refused, I'm willing to taper but it needs to be because of my health. I can't lose my job. I'm a dental hygienist and I need to work. I'm feeling good now so I know he is going to taper again in 2 weeks. I'm scared. I need to keep my job🙏🏻

Thanks Angie! I began my tapering journey nearly 7 years ago. There were only a few channels available, but they kept me sane. Though I'm not healed, I'm living life. I put movement into my healing process. I began walking 5 minutes twice a day and built up from there. Three years ago, I began to run and have met the nicest, most encouraging people. Find something to do: sports, books - something. I did not have windows either. I began to heal slowly, very slowly, but the healing process did begin. I would put smiley faces on my calendar, sometimes one for the morning and one for the afternoon. I need a visual reminder that every day did not suck - though it seemed so at the time. I have no idea when I will consider myself healed completely, but I'm back in life - and that's more than I can say while I took those horrible drugs. I took 4 mg of klonopin for 15 years, 3 mg of klonopin for 18 years, Effexor XR for 17 years and Topamax for 13 years. Keep going ~ Janet

Angie, do you have advice for cold turkey withdrawal, protracted? I'm 31 months out, doctor never mentioned tapering, told me to "okay, stop taking it" when I asked her if I could stop after taking as directed for 28-1/2 years. Haven't had another since. I basically hid from my children in my home for the next 5-6 months until it barely began to slightly improve for an occasional half hour. Hoping my anxiety lessens more and the racing thoughts calm down, my heart stops pounding, the body burning lessens, and my old personality returns. I'm generally a constantly irritable, pissed off zombie. Used to be sweet, loving, funny, patient. My grown kids just think I've turned into a major grump. I told them I think it's the benzo withdrawal and the reply was, "That HAS to be out of your system by now!" I've tried to explain, but they aren't interested, seem disinterested. Any advice to hurry this recovery along if its going to improve more than this? Is it? Thanks.

My family was of no help whatsoever and because of the drugs, I was isolated and withdrawn - I had no friends to speak of. I began walking 5 minutes a day, sometimes twice a day. I increased my mileage and length of time. Luckily, I live near a bike path, filled with walkers, runners and bikers. I made a rule that I would not take my phone or wear a watch. I made eye contact with everyone, smiled and eventually spoke with those I met. I ran my first half marathon two weeks ago!

Angie, is it possible to suffer on the mental side more than the physical side during withdrawal? I do have physical symptoms, but they’re not as agonizing and painful as the mental, cognitive, and psychological ones. My depression, anxiety and Anhedonia and cognitive impairment have reached levels that i didn’t know were possible for humans to experience. Many users who write about their success stories usually share how much they were tortured physically (A, sensory sensitivity, pain, burning, and weakness etc) but don’t go much into the depressive symptoms. My experience is mostly with Antidepressants not with benzos so i don’t know if that plays a role in the physical symptoms of other sufferers.
