You must understand anxiety plays a major role in all of this. Your mind will run your body if you let it! Anxiety is the only thing that causes my gastritis-like symptoms. I’m sorry you are going through this, I am too, all the same symptoms. You are going to be okay please try to release some worries if you can. I cold turkey quit klonopin in November 2016 for some background info on my situation. Also if you have access, cannabis helps me immensely. And make sure you aren’t drinking coffee, black tea, or eating too much sugar. Don’t obsess over your diet, just use common sense. Worrying too much about it will make you too focused on it and the pain will not stop until you change your focus. Feel free to message me if you want to discuss further. What helped my pain the most personally was really understanding I am not dying and how powerful my mind is as far as causing physical symptoms goes.
I am so exhausted. Extreme dp/dr, panic attacks, depression, crying spells and now terrible vertigo where my eyes start rolling in my head and I can't control it. I'm frustrated bc I remember the days before xanax and I just want them back!!!!! (I took 2.5 mg xanax a day for 6 yrs. then ct) This is so hard to go through especially when those around you dont understand. That's why we have to be here for each other. Thanks for the video. ♥️😊😊
hiRaymond Duarte my doctor had me on it for six years. Ive been totally off for about four months. It's still day to day. I never know how I'm going to feel. But I see slow improvements so that keeps me going. :(
nobody that hasnt been through it will understand. went through all of this..the thing is when youre off the things..you'll feel so much better..its hard but not impossible and worth it. Hang in there !! Im 8 years in after over 20 years plus on.
Harriet Berholtz it varies from person to person ...suddenly you have all these receptors that have been shut down by the Benzodiazepines and are active( people report being psychic during this time) Also the brain has grown new receptors to compensate all now in full awakeness.. this goes away as the brain rebalances. I just kept telling myself.. it’s going to be ok.. you are not insane This will pass and it did. I noticed that working up a sweat helped( this was the Soviet model for withdrawal.. hard labour) but by shoveling a pile of gravel by hand it alleviated a lot of symptoms. It’s a new life if you want it to be. Someone goes through this and they are changed. But to put a time on it is tough because as Ive said it varies from person to person...but it does get better fast. You’re doing great.. it passes.
Did you have inner akathisia go away? I’m now 19 months and still SI depressed everyday. Every morning I get hit with extreme inner restlessness that makes me not want to do this. I pray you got everything healed.
Don’t stop fighting & pushing through. 18 months is awesome. Being able to discuss & share this is supremely important; you’re a leader to many people on this issue. I’m with it; you’re a hero to me. Keep grinding. Gastritis & GI tract inflammation is extremely common for many in benzo withdrawal or PAWS from benzos. Also you mentioned you’re daughter had been ill with a stomach bug; your immune system in the stomach areas may be susceptible to catching things but you will get through it too. The anxiety & fear tells us to play Sherlock Holmes & solve it, doctors make it seem more mysterious, but you will fight through all of it. Your immune system is working, but see it as the ability to handle anxiety right now, it’s slightly injured & compromised but it works. We just have to grind harder when it feels impossible. This is why you’re a leader, a hero, to others, myself included. Keep grinding but keep stress as low as you can. Your ability to remain well spoken & clear in your thoughts about all of this is valuable & has surely helped give clarity to others. I didn’t believe this could be related to benzos in my situation; I was skeptical, but hen I saw your channel a month or so ago. You opened my eyes. Thank you If you need to chat, hit me up. Don’t apologize, keep talking to us; don’t over obsess in solitude or isolation. We need you. I’m sending out chill & positive vibes to you man. Respect ✊🏼 The stomach will heal; it is just a slow & painful process. I know something about it because I’m in this too. I’m 6 months out from Klonopin after 6 years of being prescribed 1mg a day. I never misused but here I am. Struggling but looking to people such as yourself; you’re experience becomes wisdom for yourself & others.
Six! Do you get nerve pain still and brain fog ? Will you be doing another video??? Let us know how are you doing and if you are still having any bad symptoms blessings 🙏
I can totally relate. I'm 21 months off and I have had 'good' days, but I'm also still having bad days. I'm also completely sick off feeling like sh*t all the time and always trying to get through the days and trying everything to feel better. I've definitely improved, but it can still be hard as well. All we can do is keep pushing through and trying to live healthy. Don't feel sorry for complaining, we all understand. I also have the hyper focus when I feel bad and my mind will race and race. When I feel better, it's gone. Luckily we have time on our side, we have already come such a long way.
I would say from my experiences is this is anxiety related.when withdrawing from benzoes everything seems to be hightened.i know the feeling only too well.you have to ride this and it has to get better very soon.stay strong everyone and remember that most of this is the pills messing with you and NOT you.
Recently got out of the ER myself and came back with the whole "everything looks normal" shit which I know they were simply doing their job. Just sucks getting no answers. Don't beat yourself up over posting a video expressing how you feel (good or bad) it's so very relatable. It's also helpful to you as an outlet. I'm no doc but I have worked in emergency care (if that helps any) You say you've taken a lot of stuff to alleviate the pain. Make a note that any antacid creates a coat in your stomach (neutralizing digestion) causing other things such as medications/acidic foods and drinks to basically sit there until it can be digested. Also, catching any virus does amplify symptoms (which I'm sure you know) I'm sorry you are/were feeling this way. In the same boat... So tired of years going through this wondering when it will finally end. I only just saw this video today. Keep us posted and hope you're feeling better 💜
I’m so sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well...hopefully, it’s just the same thing that your daughter has. Also, please, please don’t ever feel like you’re “just complaining”, we’re here because we understand and we care!! Lastly - please, please get your Pancreas checked. A scan if you can of the entire area. My Sister went through something similar to you and only went in after the pain got so unbearable that Morphine wouldn’t even control it-please don’t let it get to that. Get it checked pronto. Let us know how you do - I for one will be waiting anxiously to make sure you’re okay and it’s nothing serious. Sending you lots of healing, positive vibes. Stay strong my friend.
Song of Life I appreciate that thank you. Was your sister a drinker? The doc seemed to think I couldn't have pancreas issues without drinking. He tested my blood and pancreas looked good . I actually do think the pain is in my stomach tho, that's why it changes if I eat or take something.
What you are suffering from is just another Benzo symptom. I'm at 18 months and got hit with the worst anxiety and DP/DR ever for the last two weeks, after three great window weeks. I have had the same chest pain near the bottom of my rib cage on and off for the whole time. Everything you have commented on in all of your videos are all typical benzo symptoms. Some go away, new ones crop up and some just hang on. I only took Xanax for 6 weeks, .25, and I also feel like I can't take it any more; want my life back. But notice that, day to day, week to week, it keeps changing, showing that the brain is healing in its own way. My guess is that there is nothing wrong with you that isn't a benzo symptom. We are going to get better; our lives will be returning. And thanks for all the videos; much, much appreciated!
Rounder One thank you for being so positive, I’m almost 15 months off and suffering, I can only hope to have this go away one day, I had a five month window where I felt I was healed but then after some severe stress was put into a setback, really hoping to come out of it sooner rather than later. I was on a high dose for years, prescribed 3mg of klonopin for four years so I’m thinking this is why it’s taking me longer
Tax Breaks yes he is helping, your down regulated receptors need time to start working again, the gaba needs to start working on its own again and the glutamate needs to prune down again, your gut and microbiome are a mess right now, your CNS is damaged and injured from Benzo use and it needs time to heal. There are several awesome Benzo wise doctors I’ve spoken with in the US and Canada and while they say we all do heal but it takes each of us a different amount of time depending on the damage done by these meds to your body and brain. We all react differently to stopping this poison, some are totally fine and barely have any withdrawal, others it takes years to recover but we all eventually do. This guy’s videos are great and reassuring, there is a reason people who are protracted to onto heal totally after 3 or 4 years. I’m 15 months out and still struggling but getting better, we are al different and we all heal in our time but some people are more sensitive to these meds then others
Tax Breaks these things mess with your brain chemistry and some of us take longer to recover so this guy most likely is still going through the effects of having been on this medication
Rounder One I’m at around 17 months now and I felt great at times and I just got hit with another wave ... fucking hell ... it’s my own fault though I ate yoghurt with sugar ( I thought I was basically healed and hungry so I gave it a try .. fell asleep and woke up in a wave .. stomach.. dp/dr .. vision problems the list goes on ) we need to monitor our diets closely !
No matter what your diet, no matter how you take care of yourself, waves will come and go. I've found that too much exercise when you are feeling good or too much stress will always lead to a wave after a couple days. But it also can be coincidental, as waves come and go no matter what on the brain's healing schedule. When we get a wave, we tend to blame everything at that moment. Healing is just a matter of time. @@Xp8riot.
you're doing the entire world a huge favor making these videos, the fact u show everyone your unwillingness to take benzodiazepines through all the symptoms you've had, start of withdrawal till present. you really are a commendable human being, and you've been through some shit during withdrawal that would make 99.99% of people give up & reinstate. what you've done involves legendary levels of psychological strength, and i'm totally not trying to sound grandiose. keep it up
So sorry dude.. I'm 6 months off my forced c.t.. your videos lead me to the FB page , BR Recovery. It has helped a lot..but as you know there aren't always answers.. I have some very similar stomach issues now as well. If I figure anything out that helps, I'll let you know. This shit is irritating I know.. Hang in there man.
@@tygreen8831 sorry i.never saw this. I was still.bad at 6 mths off.. now I am.almost 19 months off and doing well..not back to 100% yet..but functional and no longer in agony. Getting back to normal.life. how are you ?
I have tons of stomach issues from Ativan and I'm just starting to do my taper. I been on probiotics it's helped. I know I have acid reflux now from it. I hope it settles.I also take a pill that goes under my tongue when I feel nausea. Did you ask about your gallbladder? My friend had hers removed due to Ativan.
Been getting hit hard myself again around 20-21. Been feeling sick and ill a lot with it after not having that for a long time. Pain is worse every morning is hard now. Baylissa told me it's not unusual to get bad waves nearer to 2 years. It's horrible the suffering we go through
Just so you know your video helped me realize that after 2 years and 4 months of still getting withdrawal that they're real and they're not just in my head they're not as severe as yours but they are insane
I’ve watched your videos since the beginning and you’re doing great.. these setbacks are all part of it. A lot of progress! this too will pass. I’m at 8 years. I take a lot of supplements. it will always be a challenge though now the heavy lifting begins.. what got us taking benzos in the first place.
Hey I actually dealt with exactly what you had and that's what led me to come off of the klonopin. What helped me out the most drinking cabbage juice. I had those exact symptoms and what made it worse was anything acidic so no coffee, no citrus fruits, it freaking sucks. It was in that EXACT spot, seriously cabbage juice is the go to cure and plain yogurt to soothe the acidity. Avoid anything inflammatory as well and also get some aloe vera juice which you can get at any whole foods store. Avoid apple cider vinegar it is really really acidic so avoid at all costs for the stomach issues.
I have a quick question did you ever find out what was going on with you I have been trying to get an appointment to get in to see my doctor but it has been really hard they're booked just curious if you have any info on the issue that was going on with you and if your doctors knew anything's
sixslow thank you so much for replying I'm thinking of you and hoping and praying you get an answer my prayers are with you take care keep in touch I also have been asking around the United States as many people as I can get ahold of with the symptoms that we have if there are any answers I will keep you informed and other fellow benzo suffers I think sharing information and knowledge is one of the biggest things we can do my prayers are with you
+ *sixslow* Common coming off benzos is pain in solar plex and benzo belly. Btw this isn't withdrawal. It's brain injury caused by the benzos!! I've heard the benzo companies put aside a boat load of money from all of us/benzo awareness... Class action lawsuit is what we need to do! I told my daughter's if i off myself to go after them. Yea i regret that but Fucking sick of it ALL!! I haven't even begun and done!! I only exist to suffer! I'm so glad you continue to heal even with the waves!! Oh did they check your spleen? Sorry my brain rapud fires thoughts non-stop. Take Care
I'd also like to mention that acid reflux pills take a few weeks to work. Apple cider vinegar is the last thing you want to take! Btw do you have anymore tingling?
Could the gastritis be triggering your vagus nerve? It's a nerve that runs from the stem of your brain down to your intestines and is a major part of your nervous system. It's possible it's connected to your gaba receptors healing or it could be something unrelated. I'm sorry you're frustrated. No one thinks you're complaining. You have every right to feel angry, pissed, sad, annoyed at this whole process and how it's affected your life. Your videos aren't stupid. Venting it out is good. Going through withdrawal is traumatic. There are so many things going on at once, you don't know what to process first. But it still is valid trauma to your body and mind. Grieving all the suffering you have gone through and feeling angry at what this drug did, I can go on and on. You're on the right track with seeing the naturopath. Please keep us updated. Hope you have some answers soon.
Billy Murray thanks so much, I hate feeling like I'm complaining. I feel like I'm disappointing people that watch my videos and want to see someone heal from this .it helps me to talk about it all with you guys though so thank you for listening. But it could very well be the gastritis, I'm just gonna hang on til my doc appt tomorrow. Take care
Hey if you have had pain in your back under your shoulder blade it could be your gallbladder. if you have pain after a greasy meal that goes into your back, its more than likely the cause.
Sixlow I had that for months. It burns and I always felt like I wanted to throw up. I started the Ketogenic diet and then I started drinking apple cider vinegar every morning 2 table spoons with 6-8 oz of water. The pain went away within 5 days. I was getting that pain bc I didn't have enough acid in my stomach. I was taking Prilosec and Nexium and it made it worse bc it lowers the acid and acid is what you need. Try it for a week I bet it goes away. Btw as of June 25th I'm off benzos for 17 months :)
Mike L yes those stomache meds are bad. They also mess up your liver and kidneys. ACV takes that away. People think they have too much acid but the problem is they don't have enough acid.
Harriet Berholtz hey. Congrats on 14 months!! I'm doing pretty good. I hit 17 months on June 25th. How I made it this far is beyond me. I CT off of both Klonopin and Xanax which nearly killed me. I'd say I'm about 90% healed. This has definitely been the hardest thing I ever had to deal with. It feels good not to be a slave to those poisons anymore.
nybeachgirl 1976 thank you so much, yeah if my irrational fear and doom and gloom could go away I’d call myself healed, I felt healed for five months but some severe stress brought everything back with a vengeance, just really trying to make it through the days as best as possible
Harriet Berholtz things will get better for you. Have you tried kava tea or chamomile? It really relaxes me. How is your sleep? My sleep is still broken. I only sleep about 3 hours before waking up for about 30 minutes to an hour. Then I can sleep another 2-3 hours.
i was prescribed klonipin for 6 months than tapered myself for 1.5 months with diazepam tapering with clonazepam wasnt possible.. after my last dose of 1.25mg diazepam i wasnt on any benzo for 8 days 1st night was bad than after it evened out insane amount of anxiety in my chest around 8th day i went out of my mind had to be put in a hospital they told me i tapered to fast i did not want to be put back on them the doctor wanted to put me back on my orignal dose than retaper i eventually caved in 8am went crazy again and i was put on benzos again i didnt want to but had no other choice really felt really bad and was scared of coming off them again than 2nd doctor came in and was like nope i dont agree with his choice and threw me out with a iv still in my arm its been probably 4 days now or 5 and i feel ok but only since ive been taking mirtizipine 7.5mg for 2 days now and i feel extremely tired but im not going out of my mind i somewhat feel normal.. for you i honestly believe your gaba receptors must be stuck or something thats insane your still experiencing withdrawal if i were you i wouldnt know what else to do either the only possible way imo if i were you would to be put on smallest amount of a long acting benzo for ever but doctors are fucked up and dont understand what its like
I'm at 8 months and about 4 months back I felt like my diaphragm was stuck, And hey if your gonna complain this is the place to do it! Stay strong, hang in there. I'm still having muscle issues and burning and tingling. I'm on Prilosec too, are your sugar levels ok? Love your videos! Stay well ❤️
It took me 30 months to fully recover. I did not get any relief at all until the 24 month mark. I had every weird and severe symptom in the book. My naturalpath gave me equal parts liquid kava, Valerian, passionflower, skullcap. All in alcohol tincture form. That mixture saved my life. Any symptoms I got I took this mixture (I took it a lot). 99% of the time whatever it was went away for about 30 min to 1 hour. This reassured me it was withdrawal related. She told me to take it until whatever was happening stopped. She was such a great doctor and knew I was suffering so bad that I needed no bullshit relief first and foremost. She really knew her stuff when it came to benzo withdrawal. This mixture stopped any anxiety or panic attack within 1 minute. I may have not made it without it.
You should check for (GERD) also known as (acid re flux) or have your spleen checked to see if its inflamed or enlarged since this can also cause this kind of discomfort. Gallbladder can also cause this kind of feeling....if you notice that the pain becomes more intense after eating and you feel like a numbing raw burning that rips into your left mid stomach or chest area then it could be gallstones or inflamed acute gallbladder. Just some ideas, but it could just be trapped gas which can at times become painful and make you feel nausea especially after eating certain kinds of foods or liquids. I suffer from severe GERD and also have had my gallbladder removed due to large stones very painful feels like acid when ever I would try to eat something bloody burned for hours. I used to tell my doctor I feel like I'm suffering from a touch of jelly belly lol.. Hope you figure it out Sixlow and all the best with your continuing off the benzo's mate. All the best cheers
RID COMICS it's weird cause in the past it's always been gas. Like I would get bad gas and it would cause pain. But it's never made me feel queasy. So I'm not sure...I will be sure to ask my doctor about those tests tomorrow though. Just need a break soon. And really scared I dont want surgery again, after I got my appendix out it set me back quite a bit.
Oh yea I know about the pain of appendix being taken out, mine ruptured my god I thought I was dying....did not matter how I tried to lay or sit it just ran down my back side like intense nausea almost like the pain you get from kidney stones but very intense around the back.
@@elizabethcorral4824 I take Prevcid liquid prescribed it helps a lot specially after meals and when I go to sleep I have to lay on a 45 degree piece of foam or I end up with silent aspiration but other then that I am doing as good as I can
Also I got something like an endoscopy but with zero sedation it hurt super badly but I was awake for it no meds and it can show what's wrong, sigmoidoscopy. Garlic and ACV is making you way way worse totally avoid
And i dont wanna say this but once you get hooked on benzo. you cant live without them. im right now mild dose of attivan and all the wd symptoms gone.
Could be a bug but it sounds like it could be gastritis caused by stress, a virus and/or acid reflux caused by a hiatal hernia. They often come hand in hand. If this has happened before then I'd get a gastroscopy done where they stick a tube down your esophagus and stomach and check for inflammation and a hernia. It would be a good idea to get that checked with a gastroenterologist. Hang in there man. You were feeling better in your last video. Just be very careful with the ingredients in your food and check for alcohol in everything, including what the naturopath suggests. You're a soldier and you've made it through hell and back.
Did you have your gallbladder checked you could have sludge in your gallbladder or a gallstone stuck the reason I say that is because you get the burping the pain all that any pain in your shoulder blade or upper back I have a squeezing in the ribs feels like someone is constantly giving me a big bear hug it's crazy I've had my gallbladder checked twice now they can't seem to find anything but I need to go for a HIDA scan to see if there is sludge in there that is what my doctor said because that could be causing the pain I have under my ribs oh my goodness you talk about your stools being light and everything that is one of the major precursors to a gallbladder issue I would have the gallbladder checked out just my opinion I wish you luck let me know if you find out I would appreciate it greatly I'm trying to find out what's going on with my rib area also you can have a perfectly good gallbladder but it's can show up that way with no stones in it but when they do the HIDA scan it will show that it isn't working that is why my doctor wants me to do one I've been thinking about it seriously just afraid and I hear you when you say you are so sick of this crap I am a year off of lorazepam and I have had it to the max
sixslow yes just scan will show whether you're gallbladder is working or if you have any stones in the duct work going to your liver or sludge good luck I would appreciate you letting me know because I'm going to be next to doing that damn scan I guess they inject something died in there and watch it travel through everything that's what I heard and I'm allergic to. I go figure that I don't know what the heck they're going to do with me have to figure something out my body is so sensitive to everything I also have the ultrasound showed nothing and my doctor said yeah it probably will until they do the HIDA scan that's the good one that will show the stuff if there is nothing there then you can be assured it's not the gallbladder
I’ve managed to taper off from 3-7 pills a day to about half a pill a day and some days none... but yeah can’t cut them completely or I would feel like I’m drowning everyday from anxiety and dissociation
I’ve heard a lot of people say that 2 years is when most people in protracted feel better, I hate it to cause you always feel like people are moving the goal posts, some say a year, some say 2, some say 5, I can’t do this for 5 that’s all I know, my chronic fatigue is so bad I get surprised every morning I wake up that I’m still alive, I stopped that crazy fruitarian diet thing, total BS, I’m now researching Aajonus Vonderplanitz and the high meat world, many swear by it as the best natural probiotic in the world, seems gross but like you I’m super desperate to fix my gut, just throwing it out there if you wanna try it with me, also I’m still doing no cooked foods at all, been reading how some say to much cooked food is what’s making us sicker these days, I’m doing lots of raw eggs, steak tartare and fresh salmon sushi, just the meat though, no rice or anything, let’s keep trying stuff bro! What else can we do?
Vicsongwriter I feel you, I am actually a musician myself and I feel this has robbed me of my creativity and creative spirit, I feel like somebody keeps moving the finish line farther and farther away you know. Maybe 18 months will be my ending point but who knows, I’m almost 15 months now all I can hope is that this will totally leave at some point
Eat salmon and vegetables. Start eating better smaller meals. Don’t eat 4 hours before bed or laying down. Could be a small hiatal hernia. Take some chelated magnesium. Raw garlic can make it worse especially if your sensitive. Force yourself to exercise a bit. Start over with your food diary as your almost two years out . Proton pump inhibitors are not good long term. Acid reflux and gastritis really suck with benzo withdrawal. Force yourself to exercise!! It helps with GI issues and anxiety!! It definitely helped my small hiatal hernia. It will help with acid reflux as well. Also red apples are good for hernia and acid reflux as the skin reduces acid stomach
Bob Lil I've had a naturopath say I have a hiatal hernia. They did this massage that pulled it down and it felt great . But yea I'm eating cleaner now and smaller meals. I took garlic this morning and I think you're right it made it worse. I usually lift weights. But I will start running too. It usually helps pull my stomach down so it doesn't feel like it's in my chest thanks for the advice !!
Buy and read headstrong by dave asprey bro. You have alot to learn. What did the naturopath say? I have had stomach issues for over a year. Stay away from garlic and onion, do not take medications like prilosec.. start eating more healthy fats, lots of leafy greens, for example spinach and lots of good quality meat. Eat as much organic as possible. And use coconut oil or ghee when you cook food. Try to eat maximum 3 times a day and in a window of about 9 hours a day. I'm struggling with benzos myself. Cold turkeyed on Sunday. You are lucky to have a wife and daughter. Your body is self healing and self regulating. Watch Dr John Bergman on RUclips! I can't stress this enough you have a lot to learn about the body health and nutrition. Peace and be well.
hey man sorry to hear you're not feeling that well, best wishes to your recovery. i made it a bit past 3 months C/T valium inspired from your videos. but the symptoms got so bad, all the stuff you experienced plus more, after almost a week of the worst wave of my life and 0 sleep, i decided i had to reinstate and taper properly. life is finally bearable and i didn't want to jump out the window every 5 minutes. just sharing my story as i've followed yours since the beginning. godspeed brother.
velocity211 that's awesome. Definitely smart to do a taper instead of trying to ct. I regret cold Turkeying. But I was already kindled and everytime i took the meds i felt worse. Anyways take your taper slow and i wish you luck.
Everything is physical, I had to start taking them again because physically and also mentally I can’t handle it and knowing I would take years of healing with bills? No option :(
As bad as things are right now & have been for years u gotta watch your kid grow up anyway despite how painful stuff is. U wouldn’t fully appreciate the whole depth of it on benzos better, you’d just be more flat emotionally than what people deal with in reality not on pills. Maybe stop focusing on diet entirely and go hour by hour instead of day by day.
I was 7 months off c/t and relapse xanax. And i only took 2 and im day 4 back again but i got that weird chest pain and back pain when i was about 5 months its ok have those but man i wanna say when i relapse no pain in chest
Oh my goodness go ahead and complained you have every damn right to this stuff we're going to is just unreal but the more you talk about your symptoms the more it points to a damn gallbladder my doctor asked me so many questions and he kept assured me it was the gallbladder until we get to testing and he said the only way to know for sure is a HIDA scan even a CT scan did not show what a HIDA scan can
Rituraj Sharma I don't have benzo withdrawl I have alcohol withdrawals . Doctor prescribed me Xanax and paxil which I refused after viewing side effects
i've noticed any electric feeling, or buzzing/racing nerve stuff, is related to the withdrawal. dont even worry about it. i STILL get electric/buzzing feeling in my feet and back. I used to get bad kidney/abdominal/chest pain. I thought I had kidney stones or gallstones. I got scans and tests all negative. it's just benzos man. electric feeling is VERY common.
sixslow wow dude legit I’m taking UTI antibiotics and antibiotics for kidney stones cuz the electric buzz feeling was so intense I couldn’t roll on my sides n your video of 36 days is almost exactly how I was in pain
You must understand anxiety plays a major role in all of this. Your mind will run your body if you let it! Anxiety is the only thing that causes my gastritis-like symptoms. I’m sorry you are going through this, I am too, all the same symptoms. You are going to be okay please try to release some worries if you can. I cold turkey quit klonopin in November 2016 for some background info on my situation. Also if you have access, cannabis helps me immensely. And make sure you aren’t drinking coffee, black tea, or eating too much sugar. Don’t obsess over your diet, just use common sense. Worrying too much about it will make you too focused on it and the pain will not stop until you change your focus. Feel free to message me if you want to discuss further. What helped my pain the most personally was really understanding I am not dying and how powerful my mind is as far as causing physical symptoms goes.

I'm interested..?

alley katt so how long you been clean off xanax now? N how you feeling
hiRaymond Duarte my doctor had me on it for six years. Ive been totally off for about four months. It's still day to day. I never know how I'm going to feel. But I see slow improvements so that keeps me going. :(
nobody that hasnt been through it will understand. went through all of this..the thing is when youre off the things..you'll feel so much better..its hard but not impossible and worth it. Hang in there !! Im 8 years in after over 20 years plus on.
whiteguysboxing how long did it take you to feel better?

It’s a new life if you want it to be. Someone goes through this and they are changed. But to put a time on it is tough because as Ive said it varies from person to person...but it does get better fast. You’re doing great.. it passes.
Did you have inner akathisia go away? I’m now 19 months and still SI depressed everyday. Every morning I get hit with extreme inner restlessness that makes me not want to do this. I pray you got everything healed.
Don’t stop fighting & pushing through. 18 months is awesome. Being able to discuss & share this is supremely important; you’re a leader to many people on this issue. I’m with it; you’re a hero to me. Keep grinding. Gastritis & GI tract inflammation is extremely common for many in benzo withdrawal or PAWS from benzos. Also you mentioned you’re daughter had been ill with a stomach bug; your immune system in the stomach areas may be susceptible to catching things but you will get through it too. The anxiety & fear tells us to play Sherlock Holmes & solve it, doctors make it seem more mysterious, but you will fight through all of it. Your immune system is working, but see it as the ability to handle anxiety right now, it’s slightly injured & compromised but it works. We just have to grind harder when it feels impossible. This is why you’re a leader, a hero, to others, myself included.
Keep grinding but keep stress as low as you can.
Your ability to remain well spoken & clear in your thoughts about all of this is valuable & has surely helped give clarity to others. I didn’t believe this could be related to benzos in my situation; I was skeptical, but hen I saw your channel a month or so ago. You opened my eyes. Thank you
If you need to chat, hit me up. Don’t apologize, keep talking to us; don’t over obsess in solitude or isolation. We need you. I’m sending out chill & positive vibes to you man. Respect ✊🏼
The stomach will heal; it is just a slow & painful process. I know something about it because I’m in this too. I’m 6 months out from Klonopin after 6 years of being prescribed 1mg a day. I never misused but here I am. Struggling but looking to people such as yourself; you’re experience becomes wisdom for yourself & others.
Heya mate very positive words how ye feeling today
BrandonBreaks how are you doing
You are a good and true man bro .Nothing can defeat you.very soon you will overcome it.
Six! Do you get nerve pain still and brain fog ? Will you be doing another video??? Let us know how are you doing and if you are still having any bad symptoms blessings 🙏
I can totally relate. I'm 21 months off and I have had 'good' days, but I'm also still having bad days. I'm also completely sick off feeling like sh*t all the time and always trying to get through the days and trying everything to feel better. I've definitely improved, but it can still be hard as well. All we can do is keep pushing through and trying to live healthy. Don't feel sorry for complaining, we all understand. I also have the hyper focus when I feel bad and my mind will race and race. When I feel better, it's gone. Luckily we have time on our side, we have already come such a long way.
How are you today
@Kimmy how are you now?
It called the criminal pharmaceutical industry
I would say from my experiences is this is anxiety related.when withdrawing from benzoes everything seems to be hightened.i know the feeling only too well.you have to ride this and it has to get better very soon.stay strong everyone and remember that most of this is the pills messing with you and NOT you.
Recently got out of the ER myself and came back with the whole "everything looks normal" shit which I know they were simply doing their job. Just sucks getting no answers. Don't beat yourself up over posting a video expressing how you feel (good or bad) it's so very relatable. It's also helpful to you as an outlet.
I'm no doc but I have worked in emergency care (if that helps any)
You say you've taken a lot of stuff to alleviate the pain. Make a note that any antacid creates a coat in your stomach (neutralizing digestion) causing other things such as medications/acidic foods and drinks to basically sit there until it can be digested. Also, catching any virus does amplify symptoms (which I'm sure you know) I'm sorry you are/were feeling this way. In the same boat... So tired of years going through this wondering when it will finally end. I only just saw this video today. Keep us posted and hope you're feeling better 💜
I’m so sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well...hopefully, it’s just the same thing that your daughter has. Also, please, please don’t ever feel like you’re “just complaining”, we’re here because we understand and we care!!
Lastly - please, please get your Pancreas checked. A scan if you can of the entire area. My Sister went through something similar to you and only went in after the pain got so unbearable that Morphine wouldn’t even control it-please don’t let it get to that. Get it checked pronto.
Let us know how you do - I for one will be waiting anxiously to make sure you’re okay and it’s nothing serious.
Sending you lots of healing, positive vibes. Stay strong my friend.
Song of Life I appreciate that thank you. Was your sister a drinker? The doc seemed to think I couldn't have pancreas issues without drinking. He tested my blood and pancreas looked good . I actually do think the pain is in my stomach tho, that's why it changes if I eat or take something.

What you are suffering from is just another Benzo symptom. I'm at 18 months and got hit with the worst anxiety and DP/DR ever for the last two weeks, after three great window weeks. I have had the same chest pain near the bottom of my rib cage on and off for the whole time. Everything you have commented on in all of your videos are all typical benzo symptoms. Some go away, new ones crop up and some just hang on. I only took Xanax for 6 weeks, .25, and I also feel like I can't take it any more; want my life back. But notice that, day to day, week to week, it keeps changing, showing that the brain is healing in its own way. My guess is that there is nothing wrong with you that isn't a benzo symptom. We are going to get better; our lives will be returning. And thanks for all the videos; much, much appreciated!
Rounder One thank you for being so positive, I’m almost 15 months off and suffering, I can only hope to have this go away one day, I had a five month window where I felt I was healed but then after some severe stress was put into a setback, really hoping to come out of it sooner rather than later. I was on a high dose for years, prescribed 3mg of klonopin for four years so I’m thinking this is why it’s taking me longer
Tax Breaks yes he is helping, your down regulated receptors need time to start working again, the gaba needs to start working on its own again and the glutamate needs to prune down again, your gut and microbiome are a mess right now, your CNS is damaged and injured from Benzo use and it needs time to heal. There are several awesome Benzo wise doctors I’ve spoken with in the US and Canada and while they say we all do heal but it takes each of us a different amount of time depending on the damage done by these meds to your body and brain. We all react differently to stopping this poison, some are totally fine and barely have any withdrawal, others it takes years to recover but we all eventually do. This guy’s videos are great and reassuring, there is a reason people who are protracted to onto heal totally after 3 or 4 years. I’m 15 months out and still struggling but getting better, we are al different and we all heal in our time but some people are more sensitive to these meds then others
Tax Breaks these things mess with your brain chemistry and some of us take longer to recover so this guy most likely is still going through the effects of having been on this medication
Rounder One I’m at around 17 months now and I felt great at times and I just got hit with another wave ... fucking hell ... it’s my own fault though I ate yoghurt with sugar ( I thought I was basically healed and hungry so I gave it a try .. fell asleep and woke up in a wave .. stomach.. dp/dr .. vision problems the list goes on ) we need to monitor our diets closely !
No matter what your diet, no matter how you take care of yourself, waves will come and go. I've found that too much exercise when you are feeling good or too much stress will always lead to a wave after a couple days. But it also can be coincidental, as waves come and go no matter what on the brain's healing schedule. When we get a wave, we tend to blame everything at that moment. Healing is just a matter of time. @@Xp8riot.
you're doing the entire world a huge favor making these videos, the fact u show everyone your unwillingness to take benzodiazepines through all the symptoms you've had, start of withdrawal till present. you really are a commendable human being, and you've been through some shit during withdrawal that would make 99.99% of people give up & reinstate. what you've done involves legendary levels of psychological strength, and i'm totally not trying to sound grandiose. keep it up
So sorry dude.. I'm 6 months off my forced c.t.. your videos lead me to the FB page , BR Recovery. It has helped a lot..but as you know there aren't always answers.. I have some very similar stomach issues now as well. If I figure anything out that helps, I'll let you know. This shit is irritating I know.. Hang in there man.
How are you now
@@tygreen8831 sorry i.never saw this. I was still.bad at 6 mths off.. now I am.almost 19 months off and doing well..not back to 100% yet..but functional and no longer in agony. Getting back to normal.life. how are you ?
I have tons of stomach issues from Ativan and I'm just starting to do my taper. I been on probiotics it's helped. I know I have acid reflux now from it. I hope it settles.I also take a pill that goes under my tongue when I feel nausea. Did you ask about your gallbladder? My friend had hers removed due to Ativan.
Melissa J I had an ultrasound the other day so I'll find out soon if gallbladder is the issue or not. But yea this shit wrecked my gut
sixslow I really hope it gets better these pills are NO joke! I wish we all knew the huge risks before-hand. Stay strong bud!!
Been getting hit hard myself again around 20-21. Been feeling sick and ill a lot with it after not having that for a long time. Pain is worse every morning is hard now. Baylissa told me it's not unusual to get bad waves nearer to 2 years. It's horrible the suffering we go through
Just so you know your video helped me realize that after 2 years and 4 months of still getting withdrawal that they're real and they're not just in my head they're not as severe as yours but they are insane
I’ve watched your videos since the beginning and you’re doing great.. these setbacks are all part of it. A lot of progress! this too will pass. I’m at 8 years. I take a lot of supplements. it will always be a challenge though now the heavy lifting begins.. what got us taking benzos in the first place.
whiteguysboxing are you healed today
oldguysboxing any better
Hey I actually dealt with exactly what you had and that's what led me to come off of the klonopin. What helped me out the most drinking cabbage juice. I had those exact symptoms and what made it worse was anything acidic so no coffee, no citrus fruits, it freaking sucks. It was in that EXACT spot, seriously cabbage juice is the go to cure and plain yogurt to soothe the acidity. Avoid anything inflammatory as well and also get some aloe vera juice which you can get at any whole foods store. Avoid apple cider vinegar it is really really acidic so avoid at all costs for the stomach issues.
Lol, cabbage juice. Water basically?
Harriet Berholtz are you healing still or are you healed
Hello Sixslow, iam so sorry you don't feel well I pray that pain will go away it could be from the withdrawal, stay strong I know is not easy.
I have a quick question did you ever find out what was going on with you I have been trying to get an appointment to get in to see my doctor but it has been really hard they're booked just curious if you have any info on the issue that was going on with you and if your doctors knew anything's
not yet, i had an ultrasound of my abdomen, and blood tests. i havent got the results back yet. I will let you know if i find anything out tho
sixslow thank you so much for replying I'm thinking of you and hoping and praying you get an answer my prayers are with you take care keep in touch I also have been asking around the United States as many people as I can get ahold of with the symptoms that we have if there are any answers I will keep you informed and other fellow benzo suffers I think sharing information and knowledge is one of the biggest things we can do my prayers are with you
+ *sixslow* Common coming off benzos is pain in solar plex and benzo belly. Btw this isn't withdrawal. It's brain injury caused by the benzos!! I've heard the benzo companies put aside a boat load of money from all of us/benzo awareness... Class action lawsuit is what we need to do! I told my daughter's if i off myself to go after them. Yea i regret that but Fucking sick of it ALL!! I haven't even begun and done!! I only exist to suffer! I'm so glad you continue to heal even with the waves!! Oh did they check your spleen? Sorry my brain rapud fires thoughts non-stop. Take Care
I'd also like to mention that acid reflux pills take a few weeks to work. Apple cider vinegar is the last thing you want to take! Btw do you have anymore tingling?
What other symptoms do u get?
Could the gastritis be triggering your vagus nerve? It's a nerve that runs from the stem of your brain down to your intestines and is a major part of your nervous system. It's possible it's connected to your gaba receptors healing or it could be something unrelated. I'm sorry you're frustrated. No one thinks you're complaining. You have every right to feel angry, pissed, sad, annoyed at this whole process and how it's affected your life. Your videos aren't stupid. Venting it out is good. Going through withdrawal is traumatic. There are so many things going on at once, you don't know what to process first. But it still is valid trauma to your body and mind. Grieving all the suffering you have gone through and feeling angry at what this drug did, I can go on and on. You're on the right track with seeing the naturopath. Please keep us updated. Hope you have some answers soon.
Billy Murray thanks so much, I hate feeling like I'm complaining. I feel like I'm disappointing people that watch my videos and want to see someone heal from this .it helps me to talk about it all with you guys though so thank you for listening. But it could very well be the gastritis, I'm just gonna hang on til my doc appt tomorrow. Take care
I was wondering where the Facebook group is that you talked about
You still want to know ?
Hey if you have had pain in your back under your shoulder blade it could be your gallbladder. if you have pain after a greasy meal that goes into your back, its more than likely the cause.
Sixlow I had that for months. It burns and I always felt like I wanted to throw up. I started the Ketogenic diet and then I started drinking apple cider vinegar every morning 2 table spoons with 6-8 oz of water. The pain went away within 5 days. I was getting that pain bc I didn't have enough acid in my stomach. I was taking Prilosec and Nexium and it made it worse bc it lowers the acid and acid is what you need. Try it for a week I bet it goes away.
Btw as of June 25th I'm off benzos for 17 months :)
Mike L yes those stomache meds are bad. They also mess up your liver and kidneys. ACV takes that away. People think they have too much acid but the problem is they don't have enough acid.
nybeachgirl 1976 how are you feeling? I’m 14 months off, had an awesome five months but month 11-14 have been a wave from hell
Harriet Berholtz hey. Congrats on 14 months!!
I'm doing pretty good. I hit 17 months on June 25th. How I made it this far is beyond me. I CT off of both Klonopin and Xanax which nearly killed me. I'd say I'm about 90% healed. This has definitely been the hardest thing I ever had to deal with. It feels good not to be a slave to those poisons anymore.
nybeachgirl 1976 thank you so much, yeah if my irrational fear and doom and gloom could go away I’d call myself healed, I felt healed for five months but some severe stress brought everything back with a vengeance, just really trying to make it through the days as best as possible
Harriet Berholtz things will get better for you. Have you tried kava tea or chamomile? It really relaxes me. How is your sleep? My sleep is still broken. I only sleep about 3 hours before waking up for about 30 minutes to an hour. Then I can sleep another 2-3 hours.
i was prescribed klonipin for 6 months than tapered myself for 1.5 months with diazepam tapering with clonazepam wasnt possible.. after my last dose of 1.25mg diazepam i wasnt on any benzo for 8 days 1st night was bad than after it evened out insane amount of anxiety in my chest around 8th day i went out of my mind had to be put in a hospital they told me i tapered to fast i did not want to be put back on them the doctor wanted to put me back on my orignal dose than retaper i eventually caved in 8am went crazy again and i was put on benzos again i didnt want to but had no other choice really felt really bad and was scared of coming off them again than 2nd doctor came in and was like nope i dont agree with his choice and threw me out with a iv still in my arm its been probably 4 days now or 5 and i feel ok but only since ive been taking mirtizipine 7.5mg for 2 days now and i feel extremely tired but im not going out of my mind i somewhat feel normal.. for you i honestly believe your gaba receptors must be stuck or something thats insane your still experiencing withdrawal if i were you i wouldnt know what else to do either the only possible way imo if i were you would to be put on smallest amount of a long acting benzo for ever but doctors are fucked up and dont understand what its like
How are you now
I'm at 8 months and about 4 months back I felt like my diaphragm was stuck, And hey if your gonna complain this is the place to do it! Stay strong, hang in there. I'm still having muscle issues and burning and tingling. I'm on Prilosec too, are your sugar levels ok? Love your videos! Stay well ❤️
momma bear
hi momma bear!!! :):):)
Hi☺️
It took me 30 months to fully recover. I did not get any relief at all until the 24 month mark. I had every weird and severe symptom in the book. My naturalpath gave me equal parts liquid kava, Valerian, passionflower, skullcap. All in alcohol tincture form. That mixture saved my life. Any symptoms I got I took this mixture (I took it a lot). 99% of the time whatever it was went away for about 30 min to 1 hour. This reassured me it was withdrawal related. She told me to take it until whatever was happening stopped. She was such a great doctor and knew I was suffering so bad that I needed no bullshit relief first and foremost. She really knew her stuff when it came to benzo withdrawal. This mixture stopped any anxiety or panic attack within 1 minute. I may have not made it without it.
bierstadt77 so did you not heal until the drink or we're healing and drink you drank helped
How long was you on benzos total time?
Ty green I was only on few months
@@liamo54321 thanks for the response what are your symptoms?
Ty green ahh anxiety depression also feel like my abdomen muscles are really hard
You should check for (GERD) also known as (acid re flux) or have your spleen checked to see if its inflamed or enlarged since this can also cause this kind of discomfort.
Gallbladder can also cause this kind of feeling....if you notice that the pain becomes more intense after eating and you feel like a numbing raw burning that rips into your left mid stomach or chest area then it could be gallstones or inflamed acute gallbladder.
Just some ideas, but it could just be trapped gas which can at times become painful and make you feel nausea especially after eating certain kinds of foods or liquids.
I suffer from severe GERD and also have had my gallbladder removed due to large stones very painful feels like acid when ever I would try to eat something bloody burned for hours.
I used to tell my doctor I feel like I'm suffering from a touch of jelly belly lol..
Hope you figure it out Sixlow and all the best with your continuing off the benzo's mate.
All the best cheers
RID COMICS it's weird cause in the past it's always been gas. Like I would get bad gas and it would cause pain. But it's never made me feel queasy. So I'm not sure...I will be sure to ask my doctor about those tests tomorrow though. Just need a break soon. And really scared I dont want surgery again, after I got my appendix out it set me back quite a bit.
Oh yea I know about the pain of appendix being taken out, mine ruptured my god I thought I was dying....did not matter how I tried to lay or sit it just ran down my back side like intense nausea almost like the pain you get from kidney stones but very intense around the back.
How you doing with GeRd? What r ur symptoms? Or symptoms u had?
@@elizabethcorral4824 I take Prevcid liquid prescribed it helps a lot specially after meals and when I go to sleep
I have to lay on a 45 degree piece of foam or I end up with silent aspiration but other then that I am doing as good as I can
@@ridcomics9364 did u ever had trouble swalloing? What where ur worse symptoms?
Also I got something like an endoscopy but with zero sedation it hurt super badly but I was awake for it no meds and it can show what's wrong, sigmoidoscopy. Garlic and ACV is making you way way worse totally avoid
And i dont wanna say this but once you get hooked on benzo. you cant live without them. im right now mild dose of attivan and all the wd symptoms gone.
Could be a bug but it sounds like it could be gastritis caused by stress, a virus and/or acid reflux caused by a hiatal hernia. They often come hand in hand. If this has happened before then I'd get a gastroscopy done where they stick a tube down your esophagus and stomach and check for inflammation and a hernia. It would be a good idea to get that checked with a gastroenterologist. Hang in there man. You were feeling better in your last video. Just be very careful with the ingredients in your food and check for alcohol in everything, including what the naturopath suggests. You're a soldier and you've made it through hell and back.
Did you ever found out what was the pain? Six?
Did you have your gallbladder checked you could have sludge in your gallbladder or a gallstone stuck the reason I say that is because you get the burping the pain all that any pain in your shoulder blade or upper back I have a squeezing in the ribs feels like someone is constantly giving me a big bear hug it's crazy I've had my gallbladder checked twice now they can't seem to find anything but I need to go for a HIDA scan to see if there is sludge in there that is what my doctor said because that could be causing the pain I have under my ribs oh my goodness you talk about your stools being light and everything that is one of the major precursors to a gallbladder issue I would have the gallbladder checked out just my opinion I wish you luck let me know if you find out I would appreciate it greatly I'm trying to find out what's going on with my rib area also you can have a perfectly good gallbladder but it's can show up that way with no stones in it but when they do the HIDA scan it will show that it isn't working that is why my doctor wants me to do one I've been thinking about it seriously just afraid and I hear you when you say you are so sick of this crap I am a year off of lorazepam and I have had it to the max
Debbie unicorn I've had an ultrasound but not a hida scan. I will ask my doctor about it tomorrow. I'm desperate at this point and just want relief.
sixslow yes just scan will show whether you're gallbladder is working or if you have any stones in the duct work going to your liver or sludge good luck I would appreciate you letting me know because I'm going to be next to doing that damn scan I guess they inject something died in there and watch it travel through everything that's what I heard and I'm allergic to. I go figure that I don't know what the heck they're going to do with me have to figure something out my body is so sensitive to everything I also have the ultrasound showed nothing and my doctor said yeah it probably will until they do the HIDA scan that's the good one that will show the stuff if there is nothing there then you can be assured it's not the gallbladder
I’ve managed to taper off from 3-7 pills a day to about half a pill a day and some days none... but yeah can’t cut them completely or I would feel like I’m drowning everyday from anxiety and dissociation
nessie lewis what are you taken and how long
I freak out too, intrusive thoughts suck!!!
I’ve heard a lot of people say that 2 years is when most people in protracted feel better, I hate it to cause you always feel like people are moving the goal posts, some say a year, some say 2, some say 5, I can’t do this for 5 that’s all I know, my chronic fatigue is so bad I get surprised every morning I wake up that I’m still alive, I stopped that crazy fruitarian diet thing, total BS, I’m now researching Aajonus Vonderplanitz and the high meat world, many swear by it as the best natural probiotic in the world, seems gross but like you I’m super desperate to fix my gut, just throwing it out there if you wanna try it with me, also I’m still doing no cooked foods at all, been reading how some say to much cooked food is what’s making us sicker these days, I’m doing lots of raw eggs, steak tartare and fresh salmon sushi, just the meat though, no rice or anything, let’s keep trying stuff bro! What else can we do?
Vicsongwriter I feel you, I am actually a musician myself and I feel this has robbed me of my creativity and creative spirit, I feel like somebody keeps moving the finish line farther and farther away you know. Maybe 18 months will be my ending point but who knows, I’m almost 15 months now all I can hope is that this will totally leave at some point
Harriet Berholtz any better yet
Eat salmon and vegetables. Start eating better smaller meals. Don’t eat 4 hours before bed or laying down. Could be a small hiatal hernia. Take some chelated magnesium. Raw garlic can make it worse especially if your sensitive. Force yourself to exercise a bit. Start over with your food diary as your almost two years out . Proton pump inhibitors are not good long term. Acid reflux and gastritis really suck with benzo withdrawal. Force yourself to exercise!! It helps with GI issues and anxiety!! It definitely helped my small hiatal hernia. It will help with acid reflux as well. Also red apples are good for hernia and acid reflux as the skin reduces acid stomach
Bob Lil I've had a naturopath say I have a hiatal hernia. They did this massage that pulled it down and it felt great . But yea I'm eating cleaner now and smaller meals. I took garlic this morning and I think you're right it made it worse. I usually lift weights. But I will start running too. It usually helps pull my stomach down so it doesn't feel like it's in my chest thanks for the advice !!
Did it go away yet? I have had this on and off for a long time.
DrLivelovelaugh it has been coming and going. I am seeing a doctor about it. I will let you know if I find anything out.
sixslow yes let me know what they say.
Buy and read headstrong by dave asprey bro. You have alot to learn. What did the naturopath say? I have had stomach issues for over a year. Stay away from garlic and onion, do not take medications like prilosec.. start eating more healthy fats, lots of leafy greens, for example spinach and lots of good quality meat. Eat as much organic as possible. And use coconut oil or ghee when you cook food. Try to eat maximum 3 times a day and in a window of about 9 hours a day. I'm struggling with benzos myself. Cold turkeyed on Sunday. You are lucky to have a wife and daughter. Your body is self healing and self regulating. Watch Dr John Bergman on RUclips! I can't stress this enough you have a lot to learn about the body health and nutrition. Peace and be well.
Make sure to get enough omega 3. Buy organic hemp and chia seeds!
hey man sorry to hear you're not feeling that well, best wishes to your recovery. i made it a bit past 3 months C/T valium inspired from your videos. but the symptoms got so bad, all the stuff you experienced plus more, after almost a week of the worst wave of my life and 0 sleep, i decided i had to reinstate and taper properly. life is finally bearable and i didn't want to jump out the window every 5 minutes. just sharing my story as i've followed yours since the beginning. godspeed brother.
velocity211 that's awesome. Definitely smart to do a taper instead of trying to ct. I regret cold Turkeying. But I was already kindled and everytime i took the meds i felt worse. Anyways take your taper slow and i wish you luck.
velocity211 how long was you on iam going threw librium withdrawal now 2months off I don't want to take another pill again
Everything is physical, I had to start taking them again because physically and also mentally I can’t handle it and knowing I would take years of healing with bills? No option :(
Don't feel guilty, I reinsted multiple times. Just take it slow, taper off at some point. Do what you think is right. Just dont cold turkey!
Anyone feeling extremely fatigue and bp low
Did you lose weight coming off I get center pain to
Thomas Rehder oh yea. I lost like 30 lbs. I've gained back most of it now though
sixslow I been to docter twice this week these assholes know what's going on but don't want to admit it..take some zantex 150 mg twice a day
Just drink water alot, not garlic, lactose free diary, just soft cooked fish, and Helicobakter Pylori should be treated while its so usual
As bad as things are right now & have been for years u gotta watch your kid grow up anyway despite how painful stuff is. U wouldn’t fully appreciate the whole depth of it on benzos better, you’d just be more flat emotionally than what people deal with in reality not on pills. Maybe stop focusing on diet entirely and go hour by hour instead of day by day.
I was 7 months off c/t and relapse xanax. And i only took 2 and im day 4 back again but i got that weird chest pain and back pain when i was about 5 months its ok have those but man i wanna say when i relapse no pain in chest
Anyone know anything about the benzo hospital in Texas? They specialize in this
Dude you need to study fear. It has helped me through this tremendously.

Hyaital Hernia ?
not benzo bro sounds like health anxiety
yea but i never had that before benzos, so the anxiety is caused by benzos.
How about Zantac. It helped me some
zantac causes cancer . they took it off the market
Ulceur acid u should take promptominhibiters
Oh my goodness go ahead and complained you have every damn right to this stuff we're going to is just unreal but the more you talk about your symptoms the more it points to a damn gallbladder my doctor asked me so many questions and he kept assured me it was the gallbladder until we get to testing and he said the only way to know for sure is a HIDA scan even a CT scan did not show what a HIDA scan can
Sounds like costocondritis. Look it up!!
No I have costochondritis and symptoms he is explaining don't add up to costochondritis
You need endoscopy of your stomach

You I’m one month cold turkey would ur kidneys. Hurt mine r feels electric
i've noticed any electric feeling, or buzzing/racing nerve stuff, is related to the withdrawal. dont even worry about it. i STILL get electric/buzzing feeling in my feet and back. I used to get bad kidney/abdominal/chest pain. I thought I had kidney stones or gallstones. I got scans and tests all negative. it's just benzos man. electric feeling is VERY common.
sixslow wow dude legit I’m taking UTI antibiotics and antibiotics for kidney stones cuz the electric buzz feeling was so intense I couldn’t roll on my sides n your video of 36 days is almost exactly how I was in pain
