Benzo Stories: Kathryn 

So evil! That’s exactly the word I used to those doctors when withdrawal landed me in the ER 4 times in one month from a CT. Abominable suffering.

It's not withdrawal, I don't know why people keep calling it that. It's serious brain and nervous system damage. As a matter of fact it harms or destroys every part of the body in some way.

@amb4855 why do you call it withdrawal and not brain damage? Have you looked into benfotiamine, ttfd, and choline to help your brain and nervous system repair itself? I would also try lithium orotate. You should really research these things thoroughly, they just might save you from years of unnecessary torturous hell.

@@rudyferrell Thankfully, I’m out of the torturous hell phase and doing well. I consider brain damage to be one of the symptoms of withdrawal.

​@@kencabeen7786I have this bad brain lock/brain shut down all the time. It started when i was rapidly tapering oxazepam and it went away for few weeks when I had first time crossovered to valium 10 mg. I could be myself and function. But taper went too fast and brain lock came back. Since then one ct, one month, kindling to klonopin and now tapered from total amount of diazepam 60 mg (klonopin crossover) to 8 mg. I'm homebound and in constant terror and waking up to death and brainlock and that truth I'm homebound and can't do anything or be with anybody. I would have a good life ahead if I heal. Can you give me so hope? I fear I'm the worst with brain not understanding even TV.

I'm 4 years, 3 months out. It gets better all the time. Don't give up keep moving forward

How are u felling now?

We can do this.

​@@tinastanley4444yes we can as I'm balling eyes out terrified n shaking

If you suffered the injury you would absolutely be warning others. You have no idea.

If you've never went threw it then you can't fathom how these withdrawls make you feel. Try coming off of your benzo fir just 2 days am then well talk.

Dood I no meke sense either. 9 yrs straight then cold 🦃. Mi brain hurts.dizzy

Thank you!! Bless you!!

Prayers u get better🙏🏼🦋

How long did it take you to heal?

The second time I got off them was just as harrowing as the first. The only difference was that the first go round my entire body jerked and convulsed. The second time, I didn't convulse. Instead, I had hip and leg pain that I literally could not tolerate. It felt like someone was twisting my muscles. It was brutal, and I landed in the ER quite a few times. I told them I was withdrawing from Benzos and I had aka and that is what was wrong with my hip. They acted like I was being melodramatic, and was an opiate addict. They refused to see me the last time I went. Nothing would touch the pain. That went on for about three months. I'd say I was full blown aka for about 3 months each time, so a total of 6 months. I've been off all meds again for about 8 months. I still have mild aka or I get flare ups, but I was lucky enough to find amanitadreamer.net and I watched her video on how she healed herself with amanita muscaria ( mushroom ) . She had severe protracted aka just like me and healed herself overnight. I gave it a try and it worked. It stopped the mental terror/torment. One of the active compounds in the mushroom is muscimol. It works on GABA receptors. Pharmaceutical companies used muscimol to make benzos. They had to chemicalize it to patent it. They know it's naturally occurring but they had to monetize it. I literally could not handle one more second of aka. I feel very blessed to be where I am today. That mushroom saved me. Bless you. Plz hang on. Watch her video plz

@@GoldenGoose70 omgosh one more thing....you don't have to worry about your freedom being taken away from you while trying to heal. It's not against the law

When you say "aka", do you mean akathisia?

@@enricosalvatore5346 yes, sorry

It isn't simply neglect or ignorance. Many doctors receive bonuses or other 'perks' for prescribing these drugs. The entire system has been corrupted by money. The drugs companies themselves now write the diagnostic manuals that inform the doctors who write these prescriptions. So of course they recommend use of these pernicious drugs for as wide a range of psychiatric disturbances as possible. And what would happen if there was a massive, global supply-chain disruption and suddenly tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people could not access their 'medications'? It's the stuff of nightmares.

The worst drugs ever. Benzo torture 😢

@@tinastanley4444 cold shower. Good for benzo you.

@@dustygatrell-ru7tg ty my friend. I appreciate you

@@dustygatrell-ru7tg wanted to tell you I took some a cold shower and it did ease my body pain. Again TY so much my friend.

@@tinastanley4444 yeah no problem I'm glad it helped you. My doctor told me about it. He's studied brain chemistry for 35 years he also actually beleives me when I tell him about my benzo injury. Most doctors don't. He Said he gonna set up a office to specifically help people like us that are suffering threw this. It gives me hope to know that doctors are starting to see the truth about this. What we are going threw is literally a injury done to our gaba receptors wich go threw our our brain threw out our nervous system. The reason it takes so long to heal is. Cause those specific receptors take very long to rebuild. Anything like exorsize, even just a walk, an if you skip dinner everyday it supposedly helps you heal faster. It's a type of fast. Also eating healthy is important. And the most important thing is to get closer to God. Read the word an pray pray Pray. Jesus christ gives us hope because he died for us an rose on the 3rd day , so thst we can be set free from our sins. All you gotta do is confess your sins to Jesus bsleive on him an youll have everlasting life. It's about having faith an receiving the gift of salvation like a child receives a gift. With faith an with a glad an humble heart.

make sure your doctor doesn't die or retire then. ive heard horror stories of ppl forced into withdrawal cause their doctor retired or passed and every other doctor refused to prescribe them. its terrible.

You could also develop tolerance withdrawal. Not to mention that there's also a serious shortage for the past four years in the US. I had to start tapering a few months ago, I had no choice. It's Hell either way. 🤕

It's why I stockpile my meds, I have about 3 years worth stocked up just in case, and that's a fact, of my Dr dies or retires that will give me time to find another Dr, gl everyone

@@patrickhyatt172 Yeah, that's one good thing about tapering - I'm building a decent stockpile. My Dr. is young & on board with slow tapering, I'm just worried about living in Hurricane Alley & running out for who knows how long. Good job on your pre-planning! 👍🏽

@@patrickhyatt172 see my thing that Im coming off of slowly tapering is methadone. And the taper isnt nowhere near as brutal as benzos. I really sympathize for you guys which is why I do my research and listen to your stories. Good luck ❤️ you got this

What do you mean?

Desperation from wanting relief from anxiety. An then doctors manipulating people into thinking it's safe. Its not as simple as it may seem to look up the medicine. Am not only that benzos don't make you feel so good that you think there that addictive. When I took venzos I didn't care if they were addictive. But I never thought In a million years it was possible to withdrawl for years from a pill. The real question is why do doctors prescrobe a drug 30 tomes longer then thrre supposed to knowing it can put you in withdrawal fir up to 6 yesrs?nobody thinks about the possibility of withdrawing for years before they take the medicine.
