I was afraid to move my thoughts if that makes sense. One way to make yourself meditate. Maybe we are meant to suffer to raise ourselves up a level in consciousness.

Six months clean till last night if you have a major PTSD attack don't make my mistake just smoke some weed and talk to a kind pretty woman. If you have no game then smoke weed and get a lap dance at your local strip club and pour out your soul to a stripper it's basically the same thing as a psychologist except it's way cheaper and leaving with an erection is expected chances are they'll tell you about their life and it might actually make you feel better about your own. In all fairness if I'd gone to a hospital with my symptoms they would have given me benzos any damn way ....

Try six years of hell and counting. NEVER go to a facility to withdraw from benzos. Needs to be a slower process that will likely take months or years.
32 MONTHS off & still experiencing waves and windows of protracted withdrawal. This is misinformation. Please educate yourself about protracted withdrawal
I took 0.5 mg Xanax retard twice daily for 18 months because of constant nervous breakdowns. (family problems) The doctor said I could just skip the dose, the amount was so microscopic that I wouldn't even notice. Cold turkey almost killed me. Finally I reduced it by 0.1 mg every 3-4 weeks. I'm free for 6 weeks now, but it's been hell and still is and I'm still mostly unable to work. 24 hour headaches, circulatory problems, heart problems,bone pain, rheumatism, without the beta blocker I would already be dead. I'm suffering from extreme heat and restlessness, night mare + night terror, as well as low and high blood pressure, brain fog, panic attacks that I didn't have before and depression. All my teeth hurt and my stomach is bloated like a pregnant woman. My skin is dry and in a horrible condition.I have aged years in these months. I look like a drug junkie . Driving my car is out of question. Social isolation, no understanding from anyone. Nausea and weight gain. Flu symptoms that won't stop.No energy at all. All new symptoms that I didn't have before. I don't recognize myself. I' m 62.from Europe
Holy fuck that sounds exactly what I'm going through!! No joke. I had a high blood pressure incident at work and " panic attack" they said but idk but everything you mentions sounds about right
I'm 8 months clean from Xanax, still having withdrawal symptoms, although improved greatly from say 2 months, 4 month and 6 months, still not gone yet. Weakness, joint pains, headaches, insomnia, ringing in ears, still some anxiety to name a few and I get up and do things every day, I know there are people who can't get out of bed nearly a year. It seems like the average duration is 3 years, in some cases longer. 2-4 weeks would be a cakewalk.
2 days after last dose is laughable...24 hours absolute most. 4-6 weeks withdrawal is even more laughable...more like 2 years and if you're not lucky could be 5.
Completely wrong and dangerous statement. It will make people think that "3 to 4 weeks" of unreal pain will get them trough it. Not even in 3 or 4 months if the patient goes cold turkey. The only way to quit benzodiazepines is to reduce your daily intake very slowly each 20 days to a month over a very long time, which can be a year. The addictive power of xanax is gigantic, and the pain of accute whithdrawal symptom is not even fathomable. The side effects caused by long term use of benzodiapines (months or years instead of the "safe" 2 to 4 weeks max) are in most cases unavoidable, and wont go away, we are taliking about cognitive losses and early dementia in the worst cases. Any medical professional or rehab center that go the easy and fast way with xanax detox is a danger to the patient.
When I came off klonopin it lasted months and the acute withdrawal lasted over a year. I barely got more than a couple hours sleep after the actual withdrawal was over. I'm still not normal. I feel like I'll never be the same again. My doctor just started me on gabapentin for my nerve pain and it's helping a little. It effects some of the same chemicals benzos do but not on the same level. Hopefully I'll be normal one day.
Hello dr , I’ve been using this med for weeks and after i read the comments I panicked, is it true that it lasts for months or even years, and to be fair I quit it for three days and I had some issues like insomnia, Heart issues so I just took two pills bc last night I only slept for three hours and when I got to work I was unable to do basic things, Please tell me what should I do
@@mollyram2997 oh I’m clean now I met a girl and we’re in love, my life got better , it was such a dark time in my life, happy that someone could change me, Tysm for ur concern 🙏
My god the lack of awareness is infuriating, benzo withdrawal can last YEARS, how is there still no awareness about Benzo induced neurological dysfunction aka BIND/Post accute withdrawal syndrome. Cmon bruh i was a short term user of only 4 weeks and my symptoms lasted for 2 years! It was not all in my head lady.
Xanax definitely have the potential to deal with mental health issues like anxiety and depression, it really helped me alot and below where l got mine..👇👇 @novatripps
My use was, .25 mg or less a day for 3-4 months. Usually.125 mid day and .125 mg at night to sleep. Not high at all. I didn’t think I needed to taper off such a low dose. I’m experiencing WD symptoms. Brain fog, hand tremors, insomnia. I do not expect to be withdrawing for years. I pray not.
I been tapering down just been on 0.25mg last days and now im not taking any today do you think i will make it without seizures almost died 1 year ago when i tried to quit cold Turkey and woke up in hospital did not know my name or who i was. So fucking scared i will die . Pray to god i will make it
Ok so i was on two doses a day of .5 mg each so one mg a day for almost a year then when my ex had a mental breakdown and ended up eventually disappearing on me without explanation and the pain threw me into a downward spiral and I doubled my dose in February of this year and ended up tapering down in march by the mid March i was completely off of Xanax. Im deeply depressed about my ex and have been the whole time since she left and that plus the withdrawal driven depression added on top of it its been too much grief to process some days and I have been having serious panic attacks but tonight was one of the worse ones yet so i decided to take 1mg after almost 6 months after tapering down to zero xanax did i just restart the whole withdrawals process? Or am I gonna just gonna have to stay on the track of not taking any at all after the 24 hours it sits in my system and expect that my withdrawal period wont be substantially increased?
Taking Xanax during the withdrawal process can prolong the side effects and symptoms, and can open you up to re-establishing addicted behavior and usage. The best course of action would be to completely abstain from Xanax use from an addiction standpoint, but if these were prescribed it would be best practice to speak with the medical professional that prescribed them to you.

Hi guys, really need some help with this. I come on a holiday to my home country in pakistan and asked for sleeping tablets and he gave me Alprazolam, my naivety i didnt do my research and took a tablet. Helped me sleep, second day 1 tablet didnt work so much so 3rd day i doubled up, that didnt work either so i stopped taking them in total i had 4 tablets (3days) i think at 2.5mg or 0.25 not sure and threw them away. The withdrawals were crazy shivers, mental breakdown, hyperventilating literally wanting to die and hallucinations thinking a cat has run past etc and just wanting a good cry not knowing what it was because of and ive never used any sort of anti-depressants in my life even sleeping tablets unless they herbal. Can someone advise me what i need to do or how long this will last?
@@DeinVatersVater that's not true. I experienced these symptoms from the same amount mil wise and was a script... I only took it for 4 & a half days. I was shaking/night terrors/tears streaming down my face shoulders shuddering thinking my cats were dying hair standing on end.. feeling like I was gonna die on & on & on for about 3 days and then 4 days of general jumpiness/anxiety. This drugs is the motha fuckin DEVIL.
I took xanax 250mcg at bedtime. Then i suddenly stop it after 24 days. I experience light headedness and dizziness for 2 days now every morning. Is it normal to experience this? Im afraid it would be something. Thank you
trust me its not like that .. learn dependency and addiction .. so many ppl as priscribed like me .. hope you want have it as it can just turn around one day not working ..and you find yourself next to us in the hell :)
@@Barborossaa Family and I both have taken it, I have for pry three years, but I don't allow myself to take even what's prescribed. Be smart, don't do everything some doctor says, it's been known for many years to be extremely addictive, it's even hard for me when I quit or tape .25.......and the bottle says three times a day, no thanks. So when I quit after doing it daily, I do feel withdrawals, but they are not severe, nausea and such, I hate it, but, like I said in my post, depends on the dose and how often for how long. Everyone else I know takes stupid amounts, just kept building it up, knowing they have been told not to, same as alcohol. So like any other meds from your docs, know your body, don't always just go with what a doctor says...............when I said ppl took too much, I'm not talking about the abusers, I mean the ppl that take these absurd prescribed amounts. Your on the wrong med. I'm tapering again myself, and whenever I have taken two in a day, then at night think hey I will feel great if I take the third, I remind myself that this stuff sucks, and I go back to tapering it.
NOT sure who this person is BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM!!! She is suppossed to help but has a book that she reads I am sooo sure she has seen patients in severe withdrawel and chalked it up as addictive behavior!!! NO GOOD All this imformation is WRONG!!!!
