This is a video to give you hope that it DOES GET BETTER. I’ve been off benzos and antidepressants for 24 months now after a horrendous 5 year journey. I’m about 70% recovered from severe symptoms including akathisia. I never ever thought I would get better but life is becoming beautiful again.

Thank you for sharing you experience and sharing your story. I have been in protracted withdrawal since June 2022 after cutting cold turkey from Cymbalta. My life has never felt the same since. I get all the symptoms you are experiencing and they are very very intense. I’m always afraid of dying because of how severe they are. I can’t believe how much our bodies respond to these terrible drugs. Thank you for sharing hope that things do get better because sometimes I’m just stuck thinking I’m going to stay like this forever. Please keep sharing your story and talking about this because it’s not talked about enough. I just want my life back from this. God bless you and your baby wishing you nothing but the best in healing and recovery ❤

Never abruptly stop these drugs, coming off has to be veeeery gradual because your body needs to rebalance

Oh my goodness I just started following you and I have to say after week three of getting off of trazodone I thought it would never stop and that I was in rebound of depression and it’s not true I pushed through the next week and I couldn’t believe how I woke up for the first time in 30 years without being tired and feeling great and so hearing you is so awesome because I still have to get off of mirtazapine quickly I only have six months to get off of it and I’m on 15 mg so I’m gonna start this Saturday with half a pill 10% a month they said

These are the stories that keep me going. Currently coming off of Zoloft 200mg after 10 years of being on it. I am down to 100mg after about 9 months of tapering, and I feel mostly alright. My concern is lowering dosages further and further. But I know I will get through it and be done with this drug. Thank you.

Thank you for your encouraging words. I am coming off Paxil. (Wicked evil drug) even tho I am coming down slowly I still am having difficulty with discontinuation symptoms. My biggest symptom right now is numbness and tingling in my legs and feet. Makes me CRY 😢 and feel scared. But I just fight through it. I am down to 2 mg! I just want to be OFF this drug. I want to be myself again so much. I’m tired of feeling anxiety and being afraid to leave my house. I want me back. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you for telling us that we WILL be ok. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’ve been using CBD to help and some days it does help. Some days it doesn’t. But on I go like a warrior! To claim my life back! 🛡️⚔️

Keep helping people please I don’t know what else you can do except RU-vid it will be very good for others I definitely when I start getting off the mirtazapine will probably keep watching you if you have anyone that could help me with a plan to get off that would be great I heard it’s the last tiny piece of the pill that is the worst that is what it was like with trazodone I was on such a tiny piece for like two months and then I just said that’s it and I was fine till week three and that’s when everything hit but it only lasted for about 10 days it happens a little bit now and then but not much praise be to Jesus I’m telling you now God is with me

Hey girl. So happy for you and baby!! She’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Hope you don’t mind me asking? I’m 25 months out from klonopin & Zoloft. Did your akathisia slowly start fading? I have it. Use to pace moan cry etc. Now it’s better, but seems to have shifted to a buzzing inside instead, along with dp/dr. If those two left I’d be on my way to getting there. Thanks so much dear. ❤ can’t wait to relax and watch hallmark movies lol ( also anxiousness keeps me from getting out and about Hopefully it will get better 68 years old. Mama too. Once again so proud of you. Paula

Hi Paula! Mine has been more windows and waves with longer windows all the time. My windows started out an hour long now they are days. Before I reinstated I had no windows though for two years that’s why I say all recoveries look so different. My timeline is more like 5 years because I disastrously reinstated at 2.5 years off my first drug (citalopram 20 mg that I took for 7 years). I still have akathisia in waves but it always ends and is gone in windows. Hope that helps!

Minty2....Hi...I had also been prescribed Zoloft and xanax one year back for my anxiety and sleeplessness due to severe emotional trauma , Zoloft i stopped after taking for 3 months because of terrible side effects and no improvement, but taking xanax from the last 11 months, i am facing DpDr, intrusive thoughts which are making me crazy and i doubt about my own reality and existence, restlessness and severe anxiety etc. I started tapering xanax as i am confused whether these symptoms are of withdrawal of Zoloft or xanax is not helping me and making my anxiety worse. I feel so frustrated from life, no one listens or believes me in the house. Please help, did you recover from DpDr? It's such a scary feel

@@ranim7618 Hello. Sorry your going through this. I still have dp/dr lately it’s been getting better. All I can say is just keep hanging on. I know it’s hard but you have to understand this is a process. You very early on. If no one listens it is because they can’t How can they. I didn’t taper. I was rapidly taken off. So I’m struggling big time. Have you tried Baylissa? Or order her book. Recovery. Or listen to her on RU-vid She just did a video a few days ago. On the Benzo Warrior Community. We all heal. ❤️
