Thank you so much for the upload, I’ve been waiting forever! I’m 20 months out and have been housebound/bedridden for over a year due to severe dizziness. It’s all day and everyday. I hope I will be able to go somewhere soon.. you’re one of the biggest motivations that help me keep my faith.

Pomegranate Fruit Can Reassure The Heart & Soul Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: Eat pomegranate because its grain cleanse your heart and removes the devil from the body for 40 days. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: Whoever eats pomegranate, his heart becomes clear and temptation leaves him for 40 days. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: Whoever eats a whole pomegranate God enlightens his heart for 40 days. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: Eat pomegranate with its peel because it cleanses your stomach. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: Pomegranate is above all fruits and whoever eats a pomegranate makes his devil angry for 40 nights. Amir al-Mu’minin Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (AZ) said: There is a of heart and self- light in every pomegranate seed that falls in the stomach and makes the devil of obsession sick for 40 nights.If somebody takes seven Ajwa dates in the morning, neither magic nor poison will hurt him that day.

I’m so sorry to say, I lost my best friend to suicide from Valium withdrawal syndrome recently. I know he watched your videos and so did I, trying to help him. I just want anyone going through this to know, get help, don’t let it get on top of you. For anyone connected to someone withdrawing, be there for them. Comfort them. Recognise this is serious and real. I’ll never replace him. To anyone on benzo, taper. My friend didn’t. I’ve not been through it, but if I can provide any help from our dreadful experience, comment and I’ll do my best. Love to all.
I don’t know. He just said he saw the videos. I saw him Saturday and was supposed to see him Sunday as he said he needed support and didn’t want to be alone. (Although he was with his parents) I got drunk Saturday night and cancelled as I had a hangover, but we agreed to do accupincture and meet again and I spoke to him for 2 hours online. The next day he did it. I may never forgive myself for not going to see him. But in my mind we were on a long term plan and one missed appointment and chatting online instead didn’t seem like it would trigger him to do it. His last message was how having someone there helps. I didn’t respond, got distracted, and texted the next day to invite him to meet. By that time he was dead. I don’t know why I’m telling this but it’s killing me. Hopefully the pain I’m in might help stop someone considering doing this from doing it, because the grief from suicide is unparalleled. My last messages to him were about god and spirituality, I was trying to give him a positive perspective, that there’s meaning to his life etc. So I also wonder whether that was a bad move to a suicidal man. Just don’t know why he didn’t just call me, text me, if it was so bad. He knew I was there, just his last words to me were how he needed someone with him. He had said this before, I had 9 months of speaking to him about this kind of thing, so I didn’t think it was indicating imminent suicide. I just thought I’d hook up with him tomorrow....if only I’d known, I would have spent all night with him. But then what when I had to be with my wife and child? I couldn’t be there all the time. It’s becoming clear I need therapy I think!
@@RaferJeffersonIII it's not your fault man dont blame yourself. You cant always be there, and you tried to be a support. Sometimes people get pulled into the darkness and there's nothing we can do. Sorry you gotta go through this but you gotta stay positive for his memory.
sixslow thanks man. It was very fresh and new when I wrote that but I’ve started to see perspective now and I appreciate your comments. The main thing now is I can’t believe this garbage is prescribed to so many people. Surely giving something which can lead people into a world of pain and eventually suicide shouldn’t be prescribed to treat mild anxiety. The Valium he took was bought abroad, but it was doctors here which first gave it to him. This seems like a cover up and a scandal.
You are very brave. I had an 11 year therapeutic addiction, and in 2012 I went off and finally I am better. My channel will be coming soon with my journey. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing your journey. I totally understand the overthinking. I also had stomach chest issues and found out it was Achalasia (esophagus problem of all things). I’ve since had surgery to fix it and doing better. Good luck.
I've seen most of your videos. I hadn't watched any benzo videos for the last 8 months because I had finally turned a corner and went a whole five weeks without any sxs then the they slowly creeped back in - everything you've described but more - I had a lot of neck pain, stabbing pain in my brain - in the same two spots on either side - never both together - months on one side,,, goes away, then months on the other side (ct/mri was done twice), now it's just occasional stabbing pain right top - like a pulse of pain,,,if it repeats over and over, I go into complete panic for several hours. Anyway, it starts after I eat, although today, it started the minute I woke - internal akathisia, strange sensations on my skin, numbness and icy/burning dendritic shaped sensations in my extremities, the creepy crawly ants up the back of my head - that particular sensation used to appear when I was either going into a wave or out of a wave - even though I can''t say my windows were quite that...they were fraught with sxs especially as the day wore on. I CAN'T believe the suffering I've endured and still endure at 48.5 months off. I only took ativan occasionally for insomnia - never more than 40 mg a year but developed anxiety, heart palps, etc and was told to take the ativan for that. It took almost ten years and forced on multiple psych meds to address my increasing anxiety, then full blown panic disorder. I had to do my own research to figure out what was wrong with me. 18 visits to the ER over the past 4 years...I thought I pancreatitis, brain anneuysms, heart attach, etc...I'm old and I used to enjoy my wine and multi drugged for a while so I think those are the reasons I'm taking so long to heal. I've tried different diets, supplements, yoga, osteo, accupunture, massage, physio, mindful meditation in groups and hours and hours on my own listening to youtube. I definitely turned a corner but its not over and the fear of death is ever present. Oh and I had stomach issues since my first pregnancy but they got way worse at one year off the drug..worse again at two years off,,, and feeling just a bit better there now... but horrid benzo belly.. I'm on a ppi for gerd - for 25 years now - I can't go more than 30 hours without a dose. take care. I hope your pain doesn't last as long as mine,
aileen fulgens research ppi’s. Going off of them can be hard because they cause rebound reflux symptoms. But, if you can slowly taper off them, maybe use Tagamet as needed to get off you can get off them. I don’t have gerd but was put on them by an ignorant dr. I got off them in benzo wd. It took a few weeks. It feels like you have super gerd but you don’t. It’s just rebound reflux.
Hi, I am still tapering but just got over a major kidney stone attack. Omg, I thought it was just benzo withdrawal but the pain was unbelievable. Taking antibiotic for a UTI as well. I can tell you that at one point when I was not even in benzo withdrawal, I was in a hurricane with loss of home due to large tree falling on it and was under extreme stress. Well, that brought on serious stomach issues and gerd. Had my gallbladder taken out because everything I ate tore my stomach up and had had gerd real bad. After that everything calmed down. So, not sure if that could be your issue or not. Stress really plays a huge huge role in all this ! Hope you feel better soon
Very good of you to say that you stomach issues are unrelated!! I think the benzo trap is thinking everything is benzo related and that nothing can be done about it. It's the curse that comes with this syndrome I believe, it makes you feel even worse. Histamine intollerance can cause depression, anxiety, anxiety attacks, a lot of GI issues, itching, rashes. So this could be a good reason for some of your complaints, I've been dealing with it as well. The itching is very bad at times. So do get things checked out when you go to benzo withdrawal, don't listen to the people who tell you all is benzo withdrawal. I have health anxiety as well after everything that happened and all the info I've read. I'm following a diet from dr Brooke Goldner, which is amazing for me. Maybe it could help you ad well, you could adjust it to low histamine. Best of luck to you 😘 btw: nettle can give histamine issues for some, quercetine is helpful for some (for me as well).
Going through this right now. I’m self aware at least but I have to pull myself out of it. I probably am just dehydrated or have a UTI or something but I’m in a CT moment right now, delusional I haven’t peed much and I’ve manically been looking up kidney disease. Like girl you’re fine
Can relate in so many ways. Alcohol abuse, leaky gut. I can see the anxiety in your eyes. That is because your brain sensed an excess of GABA from the benzos and told some of your GABA receptors to down regulate. Take away the benzos and the GABA levels return to normal but some or many receptors have been atrophied or flattened. So the reverse of dampening the brain central nervous system occurs, which is why you have the waves and on and off anxiety levels. I would take 1000 mg of L-theanine for bad waves, but I understand they work like benzos so save that natural plant protein for emergencies only. I can't nip the bottle, which does provide relief, because that is an all or nothing issue for me. Maybe you can relate. What has helped me most is exercise and Buddhist style meditation and acupuncture. My mother tried to raise me Catholic, 12 years of Catholic school and subsequent PTSD made me distrust and despise x-tians in general. Buddhism has helped me in so many ways. Less suicidal, less depressed about being 50 something (to those who are young, enjoy every day of your youth while you still can. Trust me. I never thought I would be one of the ones who experienced a loss of hormones, I was Mr testosterone until the last 10 years or so). Leaky gut syndrome. There are good and bad bacteria in your stomach and intestines. What happens when people take antibiotic when they get a cold or flu (which is downright stupid, as bacteria do not touch viruses), or even when they take them for a legitimate reason, the friendly bacteria get killed along with the bad. The yeast organism then proliferates and they grow these little branch like structures called hyphae that can penetrate your gastro-intestinal mucosa allowing undigested proteins and toxins to enter directly into your bloodstream (like tree roots penetrating cement, if you will). That would explain some of your trouble focusing, retaining information, headaches, mental aberrations, itching, histamine levels, abdominal pain, etc. The yeast and subsequent leaky gut will cause you some problems with your bowels. I highly doubt if Rifaxin will cure that issue. I had some of those problems resulting from a leaky gut, so bad my toe nails turned yellow and started to fall off. I have found that taking a special brand of custom made probiotics and avoiding sugar and carbs as much as possible is reversing this. Consuming sugar when you have yeast is like pouring gasoline onto a fire. The yeast organisms thrive and proliferate on sugar. Decades of drinking massive quantities of beer every night was the source of my sugar (alcohol breaks down into sugar). Doctors are reluctant to prescribe drugs like Nizoral or others that treat systemic yeast infections because of the risk for liver damage, so low carb/no sugar diet with Nystatin powder and probiotics will restore balance in your gut and hopefully many of these symptoms will dissipate or go away altogether. This is what has helped me, of course see your doctor before you try anything.
I’m glad you’re talking to us about what you’re going through. You need an outlet and we need to rally together and support one another. I’m 1 year, 11 months and 3 days off. Had about 20-30 symptoms. Most are gone but I still have digestive issues, food sensitivities and a few others. I recently had gastritis. Aloe Vera juice helped. And FINALLY the head pressure is starting to go away. I expect waves of head pressure to come and go, but to experience the feeling of no head pressure is amazing! I think your stomach issues are benzo related. Just hang in there and keep going. I believe it’ll eventually clear up. THANK YOU FOR POSTING AN UPDATE!
I went thru a 5 month taper from 2mg of Klonopin - a 26 YEAR use period. I've been in a wheelchair for 45 years now. Right now it is a little over 2 month FREE from the Klonopin. It is HELL ON EARTH. I hope & pray it gets better when I hit the 6 month mark. BE STRONG.
@@BMill88 Hi. The taper wasn't really all that bad. However, now I am 3 months totally off & it is like total hell on earth. I have heard that it takes 6 months for your beta receptors to grow back in your brain. According to testimonials - it will get better at the 6 month milestone. I have a ways to go & @ 64 years of age - I am too old to be going thru this BS. Stay Strong. Sincerely.
@@SFBay69 Thank You. At 64 yrs of age & with a 26 years Use I know it will not be the average typical withdrawl & recovery. I am determined to stay the course & not return to this drug usage. Life is just too short for this kind of suffering. I am lucky I have longevity in my family Genetics. Thanks & God Bless. Sincerely.
I’ve been suffering from a lot of the same issues that you are suffering with. Research lithium orotate. It’s helped me a lot. If I was you I would be more careful with supplements though. Lithium orotate is totally safe for us
Sounds like you have GERD (severe acid re-flux) that will cause many of the issues your having with the stomach digestion and lump in the throat feeling. I had my gallbladder removed because it was full of stones the pain from that was brutal mate, now 4 years on I have issues with my stomach all the time now because your gallbladder is an organ that serves a purpose and without it my liver has to work harder to filter out bile and what have you. I take liquid lansoprazole everyday now for this and it does help a bit when it gets really bad. Also get your thyroid checked just in case something may be going on with that. Hope things continue to get better for you mate you have come a long a way all the best cheers.
Yea I really dont wanna get gallbladder taken out for that reason. I know it's a vital organ. Looking at what herbs I can take to support it and not aggravate benzo symptoms.
@@sixslow Ya I agree its been different ever since I had my gallbladder removed, but in my case it could not stay the way it was since it was full of stones damn painful to eat. Keep getting better mate hope all goes well over the next year all the best cheers.
I'm been watching you forever! So glad to see you. By the way benzo blocks the DAO enzymes that break histamine down in foods. When we are exposed to benzos they don't allow us to break it down (histamines). Its definitely a benzo thing. Benzo caused my gallbladder to become overactive so I have to have my gallbladder out on the 5th. Hang in there but benzo creates our gut health and bacteria to not stabalize so we get sick a lot! Hang in there! I had all of that, get a HIDA scan it shows if your gallbladder is working underactive or overactive! Gallbladder causes a lot of horrible things!
Yea I knew about the histamine thing. I reeeallly dont wanna get my gallbladder out. I'm gonna try milk thistle and liver herbs. I hear horror stories how people regret getting it out. But I'm still making progress, sooooo clooooose!!! Thank you tho!!
@@sixslow yeah I don't either but feeling this sick and my refraction was 85% it's really making me want to do the surgery. I learned not to let it freak me out a lot of them have other issues not just gallbladder. Many like myself said their back to normal again. I rather it out then it reverse and give me gallstones or another attack. Hang in there you have come a long way. So happy for your progress. I'm 60 days of Ativan today! 1 year taper! Been hell but I'm here!
@@TheBenzoHouse curious what's it like when you have an attack, and do you have any chest or sternum pain or throat pain? I had an ultrasound that said no stones but not sure where my pain is coming from. Congrats on 60 days off!! It is definitely hell but we will get through this in time.
@@sixslow my gallbladder is underactive because of benzo and when you get an attack there's a terrible crushing pain in the sternum area that can shoot to the back or around the back area and up into your shoulder sometimes lower back or lower stomach but for me my ribs tend to squeeze because my gallbladder is trying to get the bile out and it can't release it a lot of times because of the muscle not working properly I too want to keep my gallbladder I am trying desperately trying to heal it I don't know if that's quite possible but my gastrologist said it could reverse because it's just the muscle and it could straighten out it's been 26 months since I've been off of benzo and 6 months ago I had a HIDA scan and they told me about my gallbladder I have been living with it and trying to work with it most days I'm pretty good but there are times that I have the pain and in the beginning it was awful because it was hyperactive like people talk about it was shooting the bile through all the time I was extremely extremely sick but as time went on it slowed down and I started to feel better sorry for this being so long but I could explain more but in a nutshell I am doing better and less I eat the wrong things diet is the key I've had to cut out lots of things and eat very clean but I just don't want to have that surgery because I know what it means to take your gallbladder out I've had clothes people next to me that have theirs out and they wish to hell they never did it I don't want to scare anybody but it's a 50-50 chance that's how my gastrologist explained it
I'm at 19 months off a cold turkey of xanax and also have stomach issues like candida, sibo, gut dysbiosis. Do you feel that your benzo CT attributed to a lot of those things? Also, did you lose a ton of weight and were your adrenals taxed due to stress and concerns?
my throat is super bad right now too and really bad gerd symptoms. I haven't got my endoscopy yet but I am waiting to get one. please give us an update on your progress soon and yes definitely stomach issues and throat problems bad here. I also have lost alot of weight!
I actually did take some and it made me sicker than hell. thank god i stopped right away. i just take tums right now... it's all i can tolerate. i too have bad histamine intolerance.
Im day 80 and need to work its insane somedays..but still fuckd up my brain. Horrible DPD. And this extince crisis and insane irrational thought! And weird hand shaking and anxiety+depression
im 6 1/2 months CT from 5 years of 0.5 mg a day clonazepam before i made the jump from (0.25 mg clonazepam CT). I still get symptoms in what seems like a monthly cycle. havent had a window in 2 months but the symptoms are 1-10 are like a 3-5 instead of 3 months ago it was 7-10. i have moments or days that are bad but if i try and stay in good thoughts and exercise it seems to help the symptoms from getting worse. i eat gluten free here and there. cold showers help with the Benzo flu feeling. if you get a pelonidal syst then make sure you eat more fish as that helps make it go away. im still stuck on a few handfuls of peanuts a day as my magnesium is still low. i was eating pineapple to regulate my stomach acids. (small amount a day as it has alot of sugar).
Dandelion root and milk thistle combined with a super smoothie (spinach, berries, coconut milk, mix veg of your choice, high quality protein powder) can really help with an overall liver/digestive cleanse. Also you would benefit from taking a natural digestive enzyme with all meals like papaya.
My daughter is almost 25 months off, she struggles with gastritis. I use bacillus coagulans and autoimmune X, shortly after starting autoimmune X, she has been doing so much better, like holy cow. She hasn't been well since last November. She only gets anxiety attacks, but she's doing so much better on a partial elemental diet, no sugar, no dairy, no wheat. She has sibo so no fruit, only a little bit of juice. She does fodmaps diet. She seems healed until an anxiety attack hits. Hope you are better soon
I will have to try the autoimmune x. Sorry about her panic attacks I know how difficult they can be. The absolute worst part of withdrawl is the panic attacks, nothing compares.
I only give her one pill a day, it's expensive but I figured since the reviews were great, we should try it. She also gets a little baking soda water at night so prevent heartburn. .
k Beaupre How did you help your daughter. What was here problems. I was on .5-1 mg of Ativan for only 6 weeks told to take daily I went to doc to see what to do about not eating she said to taper so I did to .25. I have been so sick 🤒 😷. Went downhill fast after I taper. Do you know if I can go back to original dose to stop the symptoms and taper correctly. I don’t want to go to work don’t want to drive take kids to school cook clean I feel sick having bad thoughts Lower back pain and pelvic pain head pressure hot and cold body feet get cold feeling like doom. That I won’t make it fog brain and memory. Chest pain anxious can’t sleep. Bad insomnia haven’t slept and don’t want to leave house don’t want to get dressed. Trying to have hope. What should I do. I am responsiblefor my kids. Have worked for years since they were babies Cooked cleaned took there everywhere found so much joy to hang out with them and watch tv or whatever take them to shop. Now I can’t leave my house.
@@francinemartinez-cruz3335 if i were you, i would hold until stabilized. My daughter was on 2 mg klonopin for 7 years and did a 13 month taper. Food was the worst issue, gastroparesis /gastritis, just awful, awful. Bland cooked foods, no wheat, no dairy, no sugar. Rice, chicken, turkey, sweet potatoes, and quinoa is what she has lived on for a couple years to avoid pain. She would still have terrible pain, 1/4 tsp baking soda in a cup of water would help ease her stomach at night. This is a terrible journey but it does get better
k Beaupre what does stabilize mean exactly ? Does that mean the symptoms go away and I can function without all this pain and suffering. I don’t have a care taker I have kids and financial stuff to handle I want to do it correct how did you taper her and why did she have to go off
Don't know you but I feel so sorry for you. Perhaps because my story is kind alike of yours.. "You are not alone". That's what people always tell me. Doesn't really help. Wish you only the best!
Burbur by nutramedix is an excellent safe liver detox. It works particularly well with Pinella, a brain-nerve detox. Can be ordered off Amazon or the nutramedix website. They are amazing!! They help flush crud like this right out of the body.
Hi bro! Everybody live their withrawal differently,for me it was really different,being in Cambodia without any help,but a chinese farmacist ,and it was double pain,super heroin and years of valiums,but you see i'am still there!
Jenny D It’s just the peak of my symptoms. Anxiety and panic, burning skin, fluish type feeling, body aches, DP/DR, head pressure etc. By the night time a lot of my symptoms diminish. How about you?
I've been trying these massages to help pull it down. Not sure if they're helping yet tho. I've had multiple stool tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy, allergy tests, ultrasounds ct scans, etc...havent found relief yet but found a few things wrong I'm trying to work on.
Six my endoscopy and colonoscopy and biopsy came normal I still get all the symptoms you get where ur results negative ? And can histamine cause many symptoms? Do u ever get fast heart rates? Am down to 3 year next week please reach out hope u are well
I seen in your old video you were on plane flying how did you feel like going on plane did it affect your withdrawals cause I need get plane soon and I’m so freaked out get on one
It was pretty scary for me, it was really hard for me to fly but I just did it. I watched a movie on the flight and tried to stay distracted. I'm glad I did it.

Change your diet and do intermittent fasting(eating only once a day) exercise or go for long walks. Do your research on what you should be eating, you gut can determine how your feeling, processed foods will make everything worse
I was on clonazepam 16 years on 1 to 2 mg depending on my mood. I tapered myself for 7 months and then left it. So its been hell but thank God im still here.
Are you still getting acid reflux? I've been feeling better but my stomach and acid reflux has been off the charts. My throat is on fire and my ears hurt. I also came down with severe lower back pain but it went away. Maybe this means we're coming to the end of this crap! lol
Yea the antibiotics fucked me up. They set you back a year?? How far off were you? I stopped taking my antibiotics after 5 days cause I went back into acute, seems to be lifting now tho
@@sixslow If its lifting for u then that's great news man. My situations crazy tbh, Ill spare you the details because it ain't good reading lol. Just stay away from Medications fullstop and look for a functional doctor. Tell them your situation because as far as I've read sibo can be cured with antimicrobial herbs and has a higher success rate than antibiotics. Plus your less likely to react to them. I think once you get your gut sorted you can eat really well and absorb the correct Nutrients from your food and get to 100%. Sibo affects absorption of Nutrients. Good luck to you man, even if I'm Bedbound it's awesome to see you getting better and better.
@sayara sami Yes of course, echinacea, oregano, pure honey, and garlic are all natural antibiotic and antiviral. There's more if you search online or ask a naturopathic doctor or a herbalist. Sorry to hear about your reaction, hope you're feeling better.
@sayara sami Of course turmeric, my parents are from pakistan so we always have that in the house lol. Honestly speaking I'm doing much better than last year so just hanging in there waiting for the next improvement. Stay away from medications when you can and leave caffiene alone. Eat well and I'm 100% sure you'll get better and better. The improvements I've had have been great so there must be an end to this. Wish you well and take care.
@@sixslow I know everyone is an expert, and I don't want to come across that way, just everything you said I had, and found a holistic doctor out of despiration, and fixed all that by healing the gut. As for lyme I would also what a holistic doctor who uses applied kinesiology to get to the bottom of the true cause. I thought it was complete voodo, but healed my gut, and cured my daughters extreme exema, and we were told she would never be exema free. I wish I could say the same for benzo withdrawal, although it does allow him to give me supplements to help ease the suffering a bit, and support my body for healing. Not trying to screw with your head, becuse it does me too, just want you, and all of us to get better once and for all. Much Respect! - Matt
@@learningtoletgo5147 oh for sure. I dont believe all my symptoms are benzo anymore. I started thr specific carbohydrate diet today to try and heal my gut once and for all. I would love to find a good kinesiologist. I'm seeing a good naturopath tho so hopefully he can help me. I'm gonna see if I can find a kinesiologist tomorrow. Even tho I'm seeing like 2 other doctors, lol
@@learningtoletgo5147 I think once I heap my gut. I'll be good. I think gut damage can cause soooo many problems. So ya. If you have any tips to share let me know, very happy to heal you fixed your gut! Sometimes it's hard for me to tell what's a benzo symptom or what is a real ailment.
@@sixslow Funny I have a great holistic doc, but he is 1 hour away, and I can not do the drive, but I would look at doctors like shopping find the one that resonates with you, and stick with that one. I know I used glutathione, but it has been a few years, so I don't remember the whole protocol, but it will help heal the liver as well. I personally think at this point if I had addressed the guy, and detox back in the day, then I would have never been on Benzo's which I think do even more damage to the gut. So I think it is all connected. So happy to see you out and getting even closer to full recovery. Thank you for all you do, for all of us going through this! You are a blessing to so many. The wind will be at your back! This is one of your callings to bring truth and light to the world! Much Respect! - Matt
I also had a setback due to alcohol. My main symptom is insomnia. It was really improving up until my setback. I was starting to sleep 5+ hours most night without any sleep aids, sometime even 6 or 7 hours. Then I drank one beer two months ago. Now at 15 months off I’m only sleeping 3 hours a night. It’s really rough. I frequently wonder if it’s even withdrawal at this point. It has to be though. I never had this issue before I took benzos.
I’m pretty sure. I was feeling a lot better, so I thought it would be okay. A few hours later, I started to get some really weird electrical/burning type sensations in my body and some other symptoms that had been gone for awhile came back. And my sleep vanished. Most of the other symptoms that came back have since gone away, but my sleep is still wrecked. It doesn’t make much sense to me either.
@Jenny D They have helped immensely at times. I'm now thirteen months post Klonopin, Hydrocodone, Morphine and Gabapentin w/d after an inital thirteen month taper. Funny that this practice is still looked at as somewhat "Taboo" as this used to be a standard practice which was included in the "Merck Manual". Both during and after my taper I have often times suffered from severe constipation "This has helped a great deal". Those who are concerned or worried about getting "Reved Up" might want to initially just start with distilled water and then very slowly add coffee from there.
I Dont think you can have withdrawal for years. No such thing..You can have brain damage and other serious side effects that can take years to get better..Like someone learning to walk again after head injury..They prolly will never walk the same again also like this medications disorders and side effects.. Serious side effects different from withdrawal
Of course! I've still been out with my family doing fun stuff, hiking, the beach. Etc.. sometimes it's harder to push through my symptoms and have fun but I manage.
@@sixslow sweet man I'm really happy to hear that. You've definitely earned every ounce of joy you feel from here on out. A lot of ppl say when they're healed they feel like they can do anything, sometimes I feel like they're exaggerating but I mean it makes sense. What do you think?
@@goalsoverbenzos5384 I think it's possible, i just wanna feel how I did before all of this, i wanna know what life is like again. And if they say it's true i believe em.

I’m so sorry to say, I lost my best friend to suicide from Valium withdrawal syndrome recently. I know he watched your videos and so did I, trying to help him. I just want anyone going through this to know, get help, don’t let it get on top of you. For anyone connected to someone withdrawing, be there for them. Comfort them. Recognise this is serious and real. I’ll never replace him. To anyone on benzo, taper. My friend didn’t. I’ve not been through it, but if I can provide any help from our dreadful experience, comment and I’ll do my best. Love to all.
I don’t know. He just said he saw the videos. I saw him Saturday and was supposed to see him Sunday as he said he needed support and didn’t want to be alone. (Although he was with his parents) I got drunk Saturday night and cancelled as I had a hangover, but we agreed to do accupincture and meet again and I spoke to him for 2 hours online. The next day he did it.
I may never forgive myself for not going to see him. But in my mind we were on a long term plan and one missed appointment and chatting online instead didn’t seem like it would trigger him to do it. His last message was how having someone there helps. I didn’t respond, got distracted, and texted the next day to invite him to meet. By that time he was dead. I don’t know why I’m telling this but it’s killing me. Hopefully the pain I’m in might help stop someone considering doing this from doing it, because the grief from suicide is unparalleled.
My last messages to him were about god and spirituality, I was trying to give him a positive perspective, that there’s meaning to his life etc. So I also wonder whether that was a bad move to a suicidal man.
Just don’t know why he didn’t just call me, text me, if it was so bad. He knew I was there, just his last words to me were how he needed someone with him. He had said this before, I had 9 months of speaking to him about this kind of thing, so I didn’t think it was indicating imminent suicide. I just thought I’d hook up with him tomorrow....if only I’d known, I would have spent all night with him. But then what when I had to be with my wife and child? I couldn’t be there all the time.
It’s becoming clear I need therapy I think!
@@RaferJeffersonIII it's not your fault man dont blame yourself. You cant always be there, and you tried to be a support. Sometimes people get pulled into the darkness and there's nothing we can do. Sorry you gotta go through this but you gotta stay positive for his memory.
sixslow thanks man. It was very fresh and new when I wrote that but I’ve started to see perspective now and I appreciate your comments. The main thing now is I can’t believe this garbage is prescribed to so many people. Surely giving something which can lead people into a world of pain and eventually suicide shouldn’t be prescribed to treat mild anxiety. The Valium he took was bought abroad, but it was doctors here which first gave it to him. This seems like a cover up and a scandal.
You are very brave. I had an 11 year therapeutic addiction, and in 2012 I went off and finally I am better. My channel will be coming soon with my journey. Keep up the good work!
Do you have channel?
Plugging into diagnostic thing.... Please wait....
DIAGNOSIS: Its withdrawal.
hahhahhaha true
i fucking feel it
Thank you for sharing your journey. I totally understand the overthinking. I also had stomach chest issues and found out it was Achalasia (esophagus problem of all things). I’ve since had surgery to fix it and doing better. Good luck.
I’m nearly 22 months clean now from benzos and still have issues time is the only thing that will heal you
It's brutal.
I've seen most of your videos. I hadn't watched any benzo videos for the last 8 months because I had finally turned a corner and went a whole five weeks without any sxs then the they slowly creeped back in - everything you've described but more - I had a lot of neck pain, stabbing pain in my brain - in the same two spots on either side - never both together - months on one side,,, goes away, then months on the other side (ct/mri was done twice), now it's just occasional stabbing pain right top - like a pulse of pain,,,if it repeats over and over, I go into complete panic for several hours. Anyway, it starts after I eat, although today, it started the minute I woke - internal akathisia, strange sensations on my skin, numbness and icy/burning dendritic shaped sensations in my extremities, the creepy crawly ants up the back of my head - that particular sensation used to appear when I was either going into a wave or out of a wave - even though I can''t say my windows were quite that...they were fraught with sxs especially as the day wore on. I CAN'T believe the suffering I've endured and still endure at 48.5 months off. I only took ativan occasionally for insomnia - never more than 40 mg a year but developed anxiety, heart palps, etc and was told to take the ativan for that. It took almost ten years and forced on multiple psych meds to address my increasing anxiety, then full blown panic disorder. I had to do my own research to figure out what was wrong with me. 18 visits to the ER over the past 4 years...I thought I pancreatitis, brain anneuysms, heart attach, etc...I'm old and I used to enjoy my wine and multi drugged for a while so I think those are the reasons I'm taking so long to heal. I've tried different diets, supplements, yoga, osteo, accupunture, massage, physio, mindful meditation in groups and hours and hours on my own listening to youtube. I definitely turned a corner but its not over and the fear of death is ever present. Oh and I had stomach issues since my first pregnancy but they got way worse at one year off the drug..worse again at two years off,,, and feeling just a bit better there now... but horrid benzo belly.. I'm on a ppi for gerd - for 25 years now - I can't go more than 30 hours without a dose. take care. I hope your pain doesn't last as long as mine,
aileen fulgens research ppi’s. Going off of them can be hard because they cause rebound reflux symptoms. But, if you can slowly taper off them, maybe use Tagamet as needed to get off you can get off them. I don’t have gerd but was put on them by an ignorant dr. I got off them in benzo wd. It took a few weeks. It feels like you have super gerd but you don’t. It’s just rebound reflux.
Hang in there bro
You will heal
I'm 1year without benzo
And brain tumor
I have gut issues to. I cant eat fried foods or any fast food or else i get crippling stomach pains. Hang in there bro.
Hi, I am still tapering but just got over a major kidney stone attack. Omg, I thought it was just benzo withdrawal but the pain was unbelievable. Taking antibiotic for a UTI as well. I can tell you that at one point when I was not even in benzo withdrawal, I was in a hurricane with loss of home due to large tree falling on it and was under extreme stress. Well, that brought on serious stomach issues and gerd. Had my gallbladder taken out because everything I ate tore my stomach up and had had gerd real bad. After that everything calmed down. So, not sure if that could be your issue or not. Stress really plays a huge huge role in all this ! Hope you feel better soon
Ya I need to focus on reducing stress I know its not helping. It's just hard ya know. Sorry to hear that but hopefully you feel better with it out
Very good of you to say that you stomach issues are unrelated!! I think the benzo trap is thinking everything is benzo related and that nothing can be done about it. It's the curse that comes with this syndrome I believe, it makes you feel even worse. Histamine intollerance can cause depression, anxiety, anxiety attacks, a lot of GI issues, itching, rashes. So this could be a good reason for some of your complaints, I've been dealing with it as well. The itching is very bad at times. So do get things checked out when you go to benzo withdrawal, don't listen to the people who tell you all is benzo withdrawal. I have health anxiety as well after everything that happened and all the info I've read. I'm following a diet from dr Brooke Goldner, which is amazing for me. Maybe it could help you ad well, you could adjust it to low histamine. Best of luck to you 😘 btw: nettle can give histamine issues for some, quercetine is helpful for some (for me as well).
Going through this right now. I’m self aware at least but I have to pull myself out of it. I probably am just dehydrated or have a UTI or something but I’m in a CT moment right now, delusional I haven’t peed much and I’ve manically been looking up kidney disease. Like girl you’re fine
Can relate in so many ways. Alcohol abuse, leaky gut. I can see the anxiety in your eyes. That is because your brain sensed an excess of GABA from the benzos and told some of your GABA receptors to down regulate. Take away the benzos and the GABA levels return to normal but some or many receptors have been atrophied or flattened. So the reverse of dampening the brain central nervous system occurs, which is why you have the waves and on and off anxiety levels. I would take 1000 mg of L-theanine for bad waves, but I understand they work like benzos so save that natural plant protein for emergencies only. I can't nip the bottle, which does provide relief, because that is an all or nothing issue for me. Maybe you can relate. What has helped me most is exercise and Buddhist style meditation and acupuncture. My mother tried to raise me Catholic, 12 years of Catholic school and subsequent PTSD made me distrust and despise x-tians in general. Buddhism has helped me in so many ways. Less suicidal, less depressed about being 50 something (to those who are young, enjoy every day of your youth while you still can. Trust me. I never thought I would be one of the ones who experienced a loss of hormones, I was Mr testosterone until the last 10 years or so). Leaky gut syndrome. There are good and bad bacteria in your stomach and intestines. What happens when people take antibiotic when they get a cold or flu (which is downright stupid, as bacteria do not touch viruses), or even when they take them for a legitimate reason, the friendly bacteria get killed along with the bad. The yeast organism then proliferates and they grow these little branch like structures called hyphae that can penetrate your gastro-intestinal mucosa allowing undigested proteins and toxins to enter directly into your bloodstream (like tree roots penetrating cement, if you will). That would explain some of your trouble focusing, retaining information, headaches, mental aberrations, itching, histamine levels, abdominal pain, etc. The yeast and subsequent leaky gut will cause you some problems with your bowels. I highly doubt if Rifaxin will cure that issue. I had some of those problems resulting from a leaky gut, so bad my toe nails turned yellow and started to fall off. I have found that taking a special brand of custom made probiotics and avoiding sugar and carbs as much as possible is reversing this. Consuming sugar when you have yeast is like pouring gasoline onto a fire. The yeast organisms thrive and proliferate on sugar. Decades of drinking massive quantities of beer every night was the source of my sugar (alcohol breaks down into sugar). Doctors are reluctant to prescribe drugs like Nizoral or others that treat systemic yeast infections because of the risk for liver damage, so low carb/no sugar diet with Nystatin powder and probiotics will restore balance in your gut and hopefully many of these symptoms will dissipate or go away altogether. This is what has helped me, of course see your doctor before you try anything.
Where do you buy that powder?
I’m glad you’re talking to us about what you’re going through. You need an outlet and we need to rally together and support one another. I’m 1 year, 11 months and 3 days off. Had about 20-30 symptoms. Most are gone but I still have digestive issues, food sensitivities and a few others. I recently had gastritis. Aloe Vera juice helped. And FINALLY the head pressure is starting to go away. I expect waves of head pressure to come and go, but to experience the feeling of no head pressure is amazing!
I think your stomach issues are benzo related. Just hang in there and keep going. I believe it’ll eventually clear up. THANK YOU FOR POSTING AN UPDATE!
thank you!! and yes we gotta stick together and raise awareness!
I went thru a 5 month taper from 2mg of Klonopin - a 26 YEAR use period. I've been in a wheelchair for 45 years now. Right now it is a little over 2 month FREE from the Klonopin. It is HELL ON EARTH. I hope & pray it gets better when I hit the 6 month mark. BE STRONG.
Did you suffer during your taper ?
@@BMill88 Hi. The taper wasn't really all that bad. However, now I am 3 months totally off & it is like total hell on earth. I have heard that it takes 6 months for your beta receptors to grow back in your brain. According to testimonials - it will get better at the 6 month milestone. I have a ways to go & @ 64 years of age - I am too old to be going thru this BS. Stay Strong. Sincerely.
@@buzzclark Hang n there ....I did a 6 month taper and it took me 18 months to heal but u will 100% heal
@@SFBay69 Thank You. At 64 yrs of age & with a 26 years Use I know it will not be the average typical withdrawl & recovery. I am determined to stay the course & not return to this drug usage. Life is just too short for this kind of suffering. I am lucky I have longevity in my family Genetics. Thanks & God Bless. Sincerely.
@@buzzclark God Bless....indeed. These drugs are pure poison.
I’ve been suffering from a lot of the same issues that you are suffering with. Research lithium orotate. It’s helped me a lot. If I was you I would be more careful with supplements though. Lithium orotate is totally safe for us
mason guritz Does it help alleviate symptoms? I’ve been scared to take take anything.
Sounds like you have GERD (severe acid re-flux) that will cause many of the issues your having with the stomach digestion and lump in the throat feeling.
I had my gallbladder removed because it was full of stones the pain from that was brutal mate, now 4 years on I have issues with my stomach all the time now because your gallbladder is an organ that serves a purpose and without it my liver has to work harder to filter out bile and what have you.
I take liquid lansoprazole everyday now for this and it does help a bit when it gets really bad.
Also get your thyroid checked just in case something may be going on with that.
Hope things continue to get better for you mate you have come a long a way all the best cheers.
Yea I really dont wanna get gallbladder taken out for that reason. I know it's a vital organ. Looking at what herbs I can take to support it and not aggravate benzo symptoms.
@@sixslow Ya I agree its been different ever since I had my gallbladder removed, but in my case it could not stay the way it was since it was full of stones damn painful to eat.
Keep getting better mate hope all goes well over the next year all the best cheers.
In the same boat with the GERD man fucking sucks.
I'm been watching you forever! So glad to see you. By the way benzo blocks the DAO enzymes that break histamine down in foods. When we are exposed to benzos they don't allow us to break it down (histamines). Its definitely a benzo thing. Benzo caused my gallbladder to become overactive so I have to have my gallbladder out on the 5th. Hang in there but benzo creates our gut health and bacteria to not stabalize so we get sick a lot! Hang in there! I had all of that, get a HIDA scan it shows if your gallbladder is working underactive or overactive! Gallbladder causes a lot of horrible things!
Yea I knew about the histamine thing. I reeeallly dont wanna get my gallbladder out. I'm gonna try milk thistle and liver herbs. I hear horror stories how people regret getting it out. But I'm still making progress, sooooo clooooose!!! Thank you tho!!
@@sixslow yeah I don't either but feeling this sick and my refraction was 85% it's really making me want to do the surgery. I learned not to let it freak me out a lot of them have other issues not just gallbladder. Many like myself said their back to normal again. I rather it out then it reverse and give me gallstones or another attack. Hang in there you have come a long way. So happy for your progress. I'm 60 days of Ativan today! 1 year taper! Been hell but I'm here!
@@TheBenzoHouse curious what's it like when you have an attack, and do you have any chest or sternum pain or throat pain? I had an ultrasound that said no stones but not sure where my pain is coming from. Congrats on 60 days off!! It is definitely hell but we will get through this in time.
@@sixslow my gallbladder is underactive because of benzo and when you get an attack there's a terrible crushing pain in the sternum area that can shoot to the back or around the back area and up into your shoulder sometimes lower back or lower stomach but for me my ribs tend to squeeze because my gallbladder is trying to get the bile out and it can't release it a lot of times because of the muscle not working properly I too want to keep my gallbladder I am trying desperately trying to heal it I don't know if that's quite possible but my gastrologist said it could reverse because it's just the muscle and it could straighten out it's been 26 months since I've been off of benzo and 6 months ago I had a HIDA scan and they told me about my gallbladder I have been living with it and trying to work with it most days I'm pretty good but there are times that I have the pain and in the beginning it was awful because it was hyperactive like people talk about it was shooting the bile through all the time I was extremely extremely sick but as time went on it slowed down and I started to feel better sorry for this being so long but I could explain more but in a nutshell I am doing better and less I eat the wrong things diet is the key I've had to cut out lots of things and eat very clean but I just don't want to have that surgery because I know what it means to take your gallbladder out I've had clothes people next to me that have theirs out and they wish to hell they never did it I don't want to scare anybody but it's a 50-50 chance that's how my gastrologist explained it
I'm at 19 months off a cold turkey of xanax and also have stomach issues like candida, sibo, gut dysbiosis. Do you feel that your benzo CT attributed to a lot of those things? Also, did you lose a ton of weight and were your adrenals taxed due to stress and concerns?
my throat is super bad right now too and really bad gerd symptoms. I haven't got my endoscopy yet but I am waiting to get one. please give us an update on your progress soon and yes definitely stomach issues and throat problems bad here. I also have lost alot of weight!
Be careful with PPIs like prilosec. I think that's what through me back into a wave.
I actually did take some and it made me sicker than hell. thank god i stopped right away. i just take tums right now... it's all i can tolerate. i too have bad histamine intolerance.
Im day 80 and need to work its insane somedays..but still fuckd up my brain. Horrible DPD. And this extince crisis and insane irrational thought! And weird hand shaking and anxiety+depression
Amino acid therapy
im 6 1/2 months CT from 5 years of 0.5 mg a day clonazepam before i made the jump from (0.25 mg clonazepam CT). I still get symptoms in what seems like a monthly cycle. havent had a window in 2 months but the symptoms are 1-10 are like a 3-5 instead of 3 months ago it was 7-10. i have moments or days that are bad but if i try and stay in good thoughts and exercise it seems to help the symptoms from getting worse. i eat gluten free here and there. cold showers help with the Benzo flu feeling. if you get a pelonidal syst then make sure you eat more fish as that helps make it go away. im still stuck on a few handfuls of peanuts a day as my magnesium is still low. i was eating pineapple to regulate my stomach acids. (small amount a day as it has alot of sugar).
Dandelion root and milk thistle combined with a super smoothie (spinach, berries, coconut milk, mix veg of your choice, high quality protein powder) can really help with an overall liver/digestive cleanse. Also you would benefit from taking a natural digestive enzyme with all meals like papaya.
Six let us know how ur endoscopys went. I believe the antibiotics messed up more than benzos. U still have gerd symptoms i do and its sucks.
I was waiting to see you .finally got.
My daughter is almost 25 months off, she struggles with gastritis. I use bacillus coagulans and autoimmune X, shortly after starting autoimmune X, she has been doing so much better, like holy cow. She hasn't been well since last November. She only gets anxiety attacks, but she's doing so much better on a partial elemental diet, no sugar, no dairy, no wheat. She has sibo so no fruit, only a little bit of juice. She does fodmaps diet. She seems healed until an anxiety attack hits. Hope you are better soon
I will have to try the autoimmune x. Sorry about her panic attacks I know how difficult they can be. The absolute worst part of withdrawl is the panic attacks, nothing compares.
I only give her one pill a day, it's expensive but I figured since the reviews were great, we should try it. She also gets a little baking soda water at night so prevent heartburn. .
k Beaupre How did you help your daughter. What was here problems. I was on .5-1 mg of Ativan for only 6 weeks told to take daily I went to doc to see what to do about not eating she said to taper so I did to .25. I have been so sick 🤒 😷. Went downhill fast after I taper. Do you know if I can go back to original dose to stop the symptoms and taper correctly. I don’t want to go to work don’t want to drive take kids to school cook clean I feel sick having bad thoughts Lower back pain and pelvic pain head pressure hot and cold body feet get cold feeling like doom. That I won’t make it fog brain and memory. Chest pain anxious can’t sleep. Bad insomnia haven’t slept and don’t want to leave house don’t want to get dressed. Trying to have hope. What should I do. I am responsiblefor my kids. Have worked for years since they were babies Cooked cleaned took there everywhere found so much joy to hang out with them and watch tv or whatever take them to shop. Now I can’t leave my house.
@@francinemartinez-cruz3335 if i were you, i would hold until stabilized. My daughter was on 2 mg klonopin for 7 years and did a 13 month taper. Food was the worst issue, gastroparesis /gastritis, just awful, awful. Bland cooked foods, no wheat, no dairy, no sugar. Rice, chicken, turkey, sweet potatoes, and quinoa is what she has lived on for a couple years to avoid pain. She would still have terrible pain, 1/4 tsp baking soda in a cup of water would help ease her stomach at night. This is a terrible journey but it does get better
k Beaupre what does stabilize mean exactly ? Does that mean the symptoms go away and I can function without all this pain and suffering. I don’t have a care taker I have kids and financial stuff to handle I want to do it correct how did you taper her and why did she have to go off
congrats on making it. i cant take withdrawals after the hell ive had in life.....too much trauma....years of pain and death. i can't quit :(
Don't know you but I feel so sorry for you. Perhaps because my story is kind alike of yours..

Change your diet and do intermittent fasting(eating only once a day) exercise or go for long walks. Do your research on what you should be eating, you gut can determine how your feeling, processed foods will make everything worse
Im going on 10 months and today I had an anxiety attack 😨😨
Oh no please dont say that. I go thru bad depression cuz im mentally and emotionally drained. But I tell myself, don't give up.
I was on clonazepam 16 years on 1 to 2 mg depending on my mood. I tapered myself for 7 months and then left it. So its been hell but thank God im still here.
Im also a veteran and I was sexually assaulted, i started suffering from ptsd and I had no idea this was the beggining of hell 😪😪

Have you tried Fasting ?? Intermittent fasting as well.... Fasting on water only for 2 days does great for the body and head....
Are you still getting acid reflux? I've been feeling better but my stomach and acid reflux has been off the charts. My throat is on fire and my ears hurt. I also came down with severe lower back pain but it went away. Maybe this means we're coming to the end of this crap! lol
It's actually eased up. I've been doing a low histamine diet and it seems to be helping. I've heard apple cider vinegar helps as well

Bro you can cure sibo naturally, antibiotics can make sibo much worse and even your withdrawal. Antibiotics set me back like a year.
Yea the antibiotics fucked me up. They set you back a year?? How far off were you? I stopped taking my antibiotics after 5 days cause I went back into acute, seems to be lifting now tho
@@sixslow If its lifting for u then that's great news man. My situations crazy tbh, Ill spare you the details because it ain't good reading lol. Just stay away from Medications fullstop and look for a functional doctor. Tell them your situation because as far as I've read sibo can be cured with antimicrobial herbs and has a higher success rate than antibiotics. Plus your less likely to react to them. I think once you get your gut sorted you can eat really well and absorb the correct Nutrients from your food and get to 100%. Sibo affects absorption of Nutrients. Good luck to you man, even if I'm Bedbound it's awesome to see you getting better and better.
@sayara sami Yes of course, echinacea, oregano, pure honey, and garlic are all natural antibiotic and antiviral. There's more if you search online or ask a naturopathic doctor or a herbalist. Sorry to hear about your reaction, hope you're feeling better.
@sayara sami Of course turmeric, my parents are from pakistan so we always have that in the house lol. Honestly speaking I'm doing much better than last year so just hanging in there waiting for the next improvement. Stay away from medications when you can and leave caffiene alone. Eat well and I'm 100% sure you'll get better and better. The improvements I've had have been great so there must be an end to this. Wish you well and take care.

I wish I could say the same for benzo withdrawal, although it does allow him to give me supplements to help ease the suffering a bit, and support my body for healing. Not trying to screw with your head, becuse it does me too, just want you, and all of us to get better once and for all. Much Respect! - Matt
@@learningtoletgo5147 oh for sure. I dont believe all my symptoms are benzo anymore. I started thr specific carbohydrate diet today to try and heal my gut once and for all. I would love to find a good kinesiologist. I'm seeing a good naturopath tho so hopefully he can help me. I'm gonna see if I can find a kinesiologist tomorrow. Even tho I'm seeing like 2 other doctors, lol
@@learningtoletgo5147 I think once I heap my gut. I'll be good. I think gut damage can cause soooo many problems. So ya. If you have any tips to share let me know, very happy to heal you fixed your gut! Sometimes it's hard for me to tell what's a benzo symptom or what is a real ailment.
@@sixslow Funny I have a great holistic doc, but he is 1 hour away, and I can not do the drive, but I would look at doctors like shopping find the one that resonates with you, and stick with that one. I know I used glutathione, but it has been a few years, so I don't remember the whole protocol, but it will help heal the liver as well. I personally think at this point if I had addressed the guy, and detox back in the day, then I would have never been on Benzo's which I think do even more damage to the gut. So I think it is all connected. So happy to see you out and getting even closer to full recovery. Thank you for all you do, for all of us going through this! You are a blessing to so many. The wind will be at your back! This is one of your callings to bring truth and light to the world! Much Respect! - Matt
Good to.know.im healing I stead of dying
I also had a setback due to alcohol. My main symptom is insomnia. It was really improving up until my setback. I was starting to sleep 5+ hours most night without any sleep aids, sometime even 6 or 7 hours. Then I drank one beer two months ago. Now at 15 months off I’m only sleeping 3 hours a night. It’s really rough. I frequently wonder if it’s even withdrawal at this point. It has to be though. I never had this issue before I took benzos.
I’m pretty sure. I was feeling a lot better, so I thought it would be okay. A few hours later, I started to get some really weird electrical/burning type sensations in my body and some other symptoms that had been gone for awhile came back. And my sleep vanished. Most of the other symptoms that came back have since gone away, but my sleep is still wrecked. It doesn’t make much sense to me either.
@@solomonkosher8646 how are you know. How is your sleep??
So how long were you taking benzos for? thanks
Probably 5 or 6 years total on and off over the course of like 8 years.
@@sixslow thanks for the response
Did you fix your SIBO??

Homie have you tried Coffee Enemas?
Not recently I'm always scared the caffeine will rev me up
@Jenny D ?? Not sure why it matters
@Jenny D They have helped immensely at times. I'm now thirteen months post Klonopin, Hydrocodone, Morphine and Gabapentin w/d after an inital thirteen month taper. Funny that this practice is still looked at as somewhat "Taboo" as this used to be a standard practice which was included in the "Merck Manual". Both during and after my taper I have often times suffered from severe constipation "This has helped a great deal". Those who are concerned or worried about getting "Reved Up" might want to initially just start with distilled water and then very slowly add coffee from there.
Check out medical medium
I Dont think you can have withdrawal for years. No such thing..You can have brain damage and other serious side effects that can take years to get better..Like someone learning to walk again after head injury..They prolly will never walk the same again also like this medications disorders and side effects.. Serious side effects different from withdrawal
do you still have head problems? İam dying
Not so much now they are getting much better
Try the keto diet. Took my anxiety away

Search up urine therapy
So is life enjoyable at all yet? Lol
Of course! I've still been out with my family doing fun stuff, hiking, the beach. Etc.. sometimes it's harder to push through my symptoms and have fun but I manage.
@@sixslow sweet man I'm really happy to hear that. You've definitely earned every ounce of joy you feel from here on out. A lot of ppl say when they're healed they feel like they can do anything, sometimes I feel like they're exaggerating but I mean it makes sense. What do you think?
@@goalsoverbenzos5384 I think it's possible, i just wanna feel how I did before all of this, i wanna know what life is like again. And if they say it's true i believe em.
@@sixslow so do you still kinda feel like a visitor in your own skin or ate you starting to feel pretty comfortable like yourself again? And congrats on the engagement man
@@goalsoverbenzos5384 I get this feeling a lot, like i'm not in reality, it terrifies the shit out of me and i feel like i'll never get to experience life and what it is to be normal again. but it comes and goes, so it will ease up don't worry.
The memory thing might be helped by BrainHQ it is an APP ( it is as made my Neuroplasticty expert Michael Merzenich…. it is inexpensive (96 dollars a year). It has really helped my memory through this… good luck.
