The most frustrating aspect of benzo withdrawal

I am careful here to use the word frustrating. I am not talking about the WORST part of benzo withdrawal in terms of a specific symptom. This is more about the overall healing process and why the uneven and sometimes undetectable progress is so maddening.

I'll be off Xanax for 2 years in July... I enjoy your videos. Always helps to hear from others going through this.

Hi Michael, this July will also mark my 2 years off. July 13th. I was on ativan. Good to hear from you. Thanks for the comment.

How’s your healing timeline been? Any windows yet?

@michaeljlink 5 дней назад

@@ashleychristie5023 I was getting better last year and then got hit by a wave. I'm mostly physical muscle problems and fatigue. I did 8 months of physical therapy on my neck, shoulder and bicep and i'm still having problems with them. I just have to keep exercising them. I'm lucky my mental state has been great through this. I credit the keto/carnivore diet for the mental clarity.

WW !! Thanks!! This was greatly appreciated. I’m going on 3 years. But I was on 35 years. Dr rapid taper off klonopin & Zoloft I can’t wait for that feeling you’re talking about. Hopefully my mind will straighten out. Birds are my favorite. Did you have agoraphobia? I’m struggling with that. ( video?). We’ll take care! You are a great coach 🌊😎 p

@windowsNwaves 17 дней назад

Yes, I've definitely dealt with agoraphobia. Agoraphobia and health anxiety were two of my biggest issues before I started taking benzos in the first place. I've gotten better with both post wd, but especially in the last 6 months. I will make a video. Glad you appreciated this one. Thanks for the kind words and for watching.

Really good to see your healing journey bud,so happy for you that your life’s so mutch better,.I’m on the taper,still got 3 months at least to go,.sitting at 8mg Diaz split 4 times a day,..I’m waking up feeling ok,.my doses is making me feel worse,.I skipped my morning 1 today and still felt ok and took my noon 1 early,.I went white as a sheet and feel low,.did you experience this at all

@windowsNwaves 15 часов назад

Definitely had times where I went white as a sheet and felt low. I hope it has passed for you now. Wishing you strength on your journey.

@lonnievisch6009 17 дней назад

Ps2. Do you have akathisia? You are walking a good pace

@windowsNwaves 15 дней назад

I dealt with akathisia during withdrawal, but I *thankfully* did not experience it after the 3 month mark. It is - for me - the worst state we can find ourselves in as human beings.

Are you from Canada? Seems you have an accent. 😅

American but I have been living overseas for a long time now and I think I have picked up bits of different accents from other expats 😅
