The truth about benzos 

I'm so sorry . Wishing you better days 🙏

@@windowsNwaves thankyou! Please be careful of antibiotics and alcohol. Can cause severe acute setbacks even 8 years off. Dont drink!

​@@djdanzyno argument there! Good advice

Thank you for the support and the kind words ❤️

I hear you. July 13 will mark two years for me as well. Here's to both our healing journeys

Sorry to hear that mate. I hope you get some relief soon.

So very sorry to hear about the amount of suffering you are having to endure. I'm afraid that many of us are also going through a similar time of more waves and little or short lived windows. The hardest part is not knowing when it will at least temporarily subside. Sometimes it feels that there will be no relief and that we are alone in this suffering. The relief does come though it may be short lived but it does comes. Please know that there are many in similar circumstances so it that sense you are never alone. Hoping that you are somewhat better as you read this. Never lose hope.

I had a lot of nerve issues but did not experience what I would call whole body pain. That said,.everyone is affected differently and almost all of us are affected deeply in multiple ways...

@@windowsNwaves yeah my health has declined dontonthis created worce anxiety

@@Thomas-j2g6x I'm sorry to hear that mate. There is a good chance that better days are ahead now that you are off.

I don't know the specifics of your situation but even not knowing them Ivery very much recommend taking your time coming off

I'm so sorry to hear that. Very careless on the part of your doctor, both in prescribing it and then telling you to just get off of it like that!!! They should have put you on a tapering schedule. My first suggestion would be to read this www.benzoinfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Ashton-Manual.pdf The tapering programs may not be relevant but there is an extensive glossary of symptoms, including tips on how to deal with them. There is also guidance on what to avoid, what not to consume etc. The good news is that you were not taking them for years. As difficult as it may be right now, you will get through this.

Well im 25 and my blood pressure first few month went to 175/130 heart rate of 145 ... After leaving the medicine it's been 7 months now and I'm dealing with Bloodpressure and heartrate issues still though I've never thought it'll be so bad ...

@@windowsNwaves bro now I’m suffering to extreme levels of insomnia! Please help me How I get good sleep

@@jiladahmed3557 I suffered from debilitating insomnia as well. In the end, I turned to benadryl (diphenydramine). For me at the time, it was something I had access to, and it helped me get to sleep. But that is in no way medical advice! In fact, benadryl has other risks wrapped up in it (it blocks acetylcholine for one).

@@windowsNwaves bro thanks for your reply I’m going now days 17 without clonazepam, it’s ok, I take 0.5 mg weekly 4-5 dose, but when I realise it’s dangerous I stopped! Now I suffer from extreme levels of insomnia,weakness, I sleep 3-4 hours in day time, Please suggest any diet plan, or any good food for help to feel little better, Any activity or any suggestions please let me know, Thanks

Same here as you listed. Brutal. But just keep going in hope for better days.

@@allencollins6031 Do you too have the shaking and cramping legs and feet?

I am so sorry. So sorry that you are dealing with this. Akathisia is the worst *state* I have ever been in as a human being. I am not sure I can say much to offer hope. Have you seen any improvement over those 42 months? May I ask why and how you got off benzos (was there a taper?)

@@windowsNwaves Fell into the hands of an benzo stupid psychiatrist, said the only way to come off is via SSRI 'S, pumped me full with 6 different types of SSRI 's, antipsychotics etc. The last one was a stimulating type SSRI. I became so totally overstimulated that i tried to end it with an overdose benzo's i ended up in the hospital, after that i was cold turkeyd after being on them for 33 years. I am 72 years of age, i know it is over.

@@windowsNwaves I wrote you an extensive answer, YT has deleted it .

Glad to hear you have found some clarity. Hopefully the fact that it was not daily use will help you jump off easier.

wishing you all the strength and healing

@@windowsNwaves it’s very hard. I am relieved some what to know what’s going on. The feeling of doom gets pretty intense. I’m trying to figure out my best method of tapering since I don’t take it daily. I think I’m going to take half a dose as needed till I see a real psychiatrist, but that won’t be for 1-3 months. My doctor is recommending a cold turkey approach, but this shit gets pretty awful. And it seems like no body really recommends just stopping. But I don’t wanna start using daily if I don’t need to. Thanks again, you videos are very informative.

@@beecee4757 I would really try to find a doctor that understands benzodiazepines. If you are in the states, the benzo info coalition has a good resource here: www.benzoinfo.com/doctors/ I am not a doctor myself or even a mental health professional, but it seems you have done enough research to know that cold turkey is not wise with these drugs!

Thanks for all your supper Miguel
