    I'm on my 13th month of xanax withdrawal! My doctor took me off of it cold turkey after prescribing 4 mg a day for 10 years! I can't even express how terrible this is. But due to the grace of God, I haven't had a seizure. Please offer some prayers for me!

      @@elisaacello592 It is by the grace of GOD alone that I made it through a little over a year and a half of mental & physical withdrawal! I KNOW there were times when GOD heard my prayers and sustained me during times when I thought I could literally lose my mind. We are living in the end-times, and I hope that all find Christ before it is too late! In Scripture, Jesus declares: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by me."
      There is no other way.

      I started taking psychiatric medications 30 years ago. I took different medications at the hands of a doctor, and in the last twenty years I constantly took a Zoloft 50 mg pill with a benzo medication, which is lixomil 6 mg, (bromazepame)half a pill in the morning and half a pill in the evening. I am now 55 years old. How can I make a plan to get rid of them?

I'm a week shy of 9 months off of Tramadol and Ativan and have hit a wall this week wondering if it's worth it due to intrusive thoughts and memories but again, you saved me. You look very happy and healthy. Thank you, Phil.

    I am 4 months off ambien , how did you deal with no sleep , and how long for you did if take to getcsleep back ?

    • @phileichinger1532
      @phileichinger1532  Год назад +3

      Yeah. I went 11 days off the bat with no sleep. I thought it was physically impossible. Basically got me fired from my job nodding off in meetings. Regular sleep came back at six months. I think people exaggerate the length of this stuff because they want you off, but realize if they told you the truth of how long it takes, you wouldn’t quit. So I get it. But I really try to just tell people what is ahead, then support the hell out the them. Especially Benzos. Based on my experience, unless you catch a real break, you’re looking at 18-24. Sounds crazy, but your lucky it is Ambien , yes a Z Drug, but so much better than the big 4. I’m no Doctor, but based on experience from this amazing group, your pretty close my friend. Hang in there. There is no turning back now., One Day at Time.

At c5 am sleepvtill 9-10am I am retired so jo big deal...I can function. Coaching high school baseball.. Mood up n down, and intrusive thaught in the evenings, which I think due to sleep anxity , .other then that everything is not to bad, but I am not in any pain thank God. YOU DEAL EITH SLEEP ANXITY ?? when sleep did come back to you how did it ?? As mention I fall asleep at 5,-6 pm..hell does my normal cycle comes back ???

      It’s normal in morning bc your Cortisol & ADRENALINE SPIKES by we have no Gaba to regulate it to lower down since the BENZO Burned it off & it takes Years to grow back!!! So Use Pink Himalayan Salt in Water to Lower Cortisol & rebalance Nervous System! It’s called SOLE WATER ! Google it! It’s on you tube! Pink Salt has 97 Essential Minerals in it ! It’s like having a Saline IV!!!
