What a guy you are sir.... You're still active for the community even after long long time of recovery... You guys left a content which will help lots of people when they'll try to get off this poison...

I'm stuck on zdrug and I have been self medicating. I was left on for 6 months taken off 7.75mg.. went through horrendous withdrawals. I reinstated by getting of the net No Doctor had a clue about slow safe tapering.. iget the awful morning anxiety on the zopiclone. I take them with a painkiller containing operates. Take 10 zopiclone a day. Is there any help for me out there? My wife passed 4 years ago. I vevwr had anxiety till her death. Grief is horrendous. Please help?

i took 1350mg a day two years ago. it got to a point that i didn't even take it to get high but just to be normal and go through my day.

No grapefruit if you're tapering or on other meds.

Almost 4 years on daily basis on tramadol now the dose is 200 mg a day weekends 400 almost a day! The withdrawal is scaring me alot due to my strong insomnia problem before my addiction! Couple of times i tried to let go i couldn’t handle the withdrawal and i always felt convinced that i fuction better in life with tramadol in my life . But this addiction is pulling me behind wd life and developments ! My relationships with people i care about! Its been long time i want to let go but im searching for tips to go tru easier withdrawal

I went from 6mg of Arvin to .5mg over about a two year span I think. It was a tough time and I still have the .5 to go but taking a break, it’s been two years.

I'm 32 months I have dpdr I'm numb and my head it doesn't go I feel worse. Will this get better

Crazy doses of Lycra and Dhc for me and as you describe perfectly they stopped working for me. One 300mg pill at the beginning was the answer to my prayers and now over 2000mg and done feel a thing. But if I don't take them then I am in hell. Feel totally trapped. I wish you many years in recovery and hope I find the guts and determination you found 🙂

You got a new subscriber, and its under xanax tapering.

Ive come off several drugs in the past. And comimg off benzos is worse by far then any of them.

Yeah the way these withdrawals really deceive your perceptin on reality. Its scary tbr.

You also want to save your fattest dose for the very end of the day if you can since that sleep/rest window is quite long to go without dosing

When I came off of this before I stayed at my friends house and I was holding onto the legs of the table in the middle of the night. Each time a car would turn into the street and it's headlights would shine through the front window I was getting ideas that it was a sniper coming to shoot me and I couldn't sleep I thought that there was killer clowns outside and the nephilim had returned to the earth. I had complete agrophobia aswell I went back on it cause my life became so limited by fear that there wasn't almost anything I could do which involved people anymore. Apart from a select group of people who I am comfortable with

I came off of valium at the beginning of last month after years of addiction and I did it by tapering and using thiamine in quite a high dose and I know that that has made a big difference in my confidence which seems to be better than ever in this early stage of recovery, I also use magnesium glycinate, I figured that if alcoholics are given thiamine then people who use benzos must also be thiamine deficient and I must have been as after taking thiamine I felt sooo much better, I made sure to take enough. Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED!

I’ve been in taper for years and I must say; you rock. Doing a great service to help people. All best wishes to you, my friend

Nice video! I am now 9 months off xanax, my physical symptoms are less, but the impact is mainly on mental. My mind is always in confusion about myself and my surroundings, it seems that my brain cant shift focus from one place or thing to another smoothly. If I I try, it leaves me confused and disturbed. Is it a benzo withdrawal symptom? It wasn't there before. Now I can only hope that time is the key to recovery from all this brutal and horrible phase.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU......

You do me good, Phil, thank you for this video

Thank you Phil I'm off 2 years now with no windows. But I believe I will recover at some point. My symptoms are severe, but I've also come off 4 major drugs, Xanax, Valium, Gabap. Oxyc. Now Cymb. I'm 68 years old. My main thing is to have time with my hubby and travel. I believe time is the cure. I have done some amazing things during my healing. Things that no one can imagine, but I know one day I will be completely back.

These drugs should be taken off the market

you are a real good man in this world thank god

To calm my withdrawal physical part.. so i cannot get up i lay flat on my bed and ask anxiety to show its brutality at max my eyes continuously focused on the roof i stay like that for 1-2 hour and the anxiety the symptoms starts to fade everytime.... My healing process and my way of dealing with the hellfire symptoms is with hellfire.... Poison can cut poison... I have not seen people with my way of dealing not even a percent.... And for lazy people let me tell you my symptoms... (What I've seen so far 100's but these were horrifying) Bloodpressure - 170/130 heartrate 165 Spine burning like I've put in the piranha solution My body feels so bloated like I'm going to explode like a Nuclear bomb My head feels like demons anger to kill anyone My body is a spasm machine I couldn't eat anything like my soul and body working totally differently.... On 6th month today I've mastered the technique so well that even the worst symptoms cannot withstand.. What meds did i quit - klonopin effexor Antipsychotic (all cold Turkey after 4 years daily usage) I used to get scared as far as i remember from a small stomach ache this made me a monster....

I love this video! I am ending 14 years in severe WD, caused by doctors and the NCMB. I am finally coming back. I did think about killing myself....all the time! Never thought that before and I don't feel that way now. All of this was so bizarre. I am hoping to open a slow taper in Chapel Hill, NC within the year. Thanks for the positivity. I am totally normal!!! Whew!!! I am so happy to be coming back. I am much more chill now than I have ever been in my life!!! Just poking out from this. I clawed my way back! Life is getting better now! Hang in there y'all. <3

Phil!!! I have NEVER heard anyone describing the symptoms I had like you just did! I'm yelling at my phone; yes! yes! and yes! when you were talking about the phone ringing or someone someone coming to the door and just feeling petrified. My insides shook physically and you felt that too! I also feel like coming back from hell has given me the strength to get through anything like you mentioned! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being the first person to feel the exact same feelings I had in the throws of what I also called "hell on earth". Thank you, God, for getting me threw it. ❤

I feel no light! Everyday i feel like im suffocating. Like my cns gave out n tells respiratory system not breathe 😣boy vibrates n causes pain. ExTreme pain in back of head...n eyes..dp/dr etc wanna die. I been to e.r so many times for feeling like suffocating..😣muscles squeezing so tight

Everyday I feel like I'm suffocating!! My muscles squeezing so tight in chest, stomach, and back. Been to e.r so many times for EXTREME air hunger! So scary..

What did you do to get better? can you make a video explain what and how did you do it ....please help 🙏

Hi Phil, I have just discovered that my girlfriend of six months is dependent on tramadol. I've tried to intervene, but she's blocked me on all socials. How should I approach this situation? She has no family and lives alone.

No one has described Gaba receptor damage from Benzo use like you. Everything you said is incredibly spot on. The severe lack of sleep, paranoia and need ro withdraw is so paralizing. Ive lostl myself no doubt. Also, its discouraging because I've begun to question weather I can return to normal and living this way forever seems unbearable. The body is in fight or flight mode every day all day. Thank you for helping me and others to see we are not alone and not crazy. You give inspiration to carry on and fight.👏❤️👏

I only took it for about 2 1/2 months and still got hooked. I’m on day 3 of cold turkey and this absolutely sucks! It is one of the worst things I’ve been through. The RLS and insomnia are by far the worst.

I lost my whole family because of 20 + years of lorazepam. I am 60 years old and I can't function. I can't stop this shaking and sweating 24/7. I am down to 117 lbs. I can't stand that I wasn't explained that I would be like this STILL stuck on way too much lorazepam around the clock. I have no doctor to help me anymore, after trying to switch over to valium for 3 days. He told me it would even out my symptoms, but it made me worse. My body is dying and has even reacted to antibiotics. Now I am back to taking lorazepam and it isn't working. I am scared isolated and in pain. I have no one to turn to. I can't even take a damn shower anymore I shake so badly, and I have become to weak now with sarcopenia. Called 911 awhile back and they came in and scolded me and told me to just take my lorazepam that there is nothing that they can do. I had a seizure and they didn't care. I am being medically gaslighted and left to die. I can barely walk with a walker in my apt to go from bed to bathroom. I hurt all over, and cough up mucus. I order Boost nutritional drinks to be delivered so I get some form of nutrition in me. I have called every medical place asking for help. They say they will call back and never do. Been told to go into detox centers, but due to the PTSD on top of the chronic anxiety I fear doing that. Because I know I wouldn't survive. Sorry this is so long. I am scared and have no one to reach out to for help because I refused detox. I am existing in fear 24/7 unable to function or sleep or eat. I can't take this anymore! NO one cares! I don't know what to do. I am dying and have no one to help me. I am scared!!

Their is no key it’s only time

Thank you for your information. I've been through all you have been through. Anxiety & depression. Been on kkonopin for 10 yrs. The dose no konger helped, so I took 2 at a time. I feel sick when I take Klonopin. Getting ready to get off this awful, awful med. You have given me some really good ideas. I see my therapist tomorrow. You are doing wonderful and without knowing you can tell you're a wonderful man.

Nobody seems to talk about the extreme physical symptoms, only the mental.

What’s your Facebook page

I been taking 600mg of tramadol for 14 years my journey starts today I am very scared wish me luck.

Wonderful intelligent talk❤

Thanks for the video... Tapering now

God Bless you. 💐✊

Giess he has moved on

Thank you! I needed to hear your message. ❤

<3 "..Happiness, is feeling pain, and knowing you will be okie..."

I’m sorry this happened but you left an awful lot out. How much of each were you on? How frequently did you take them? Did you taper or just stop taking them? Did you abuse them or take as prescribed? I took the same dose of klonopin for 9 years and tapered carefully off it and had minimal withdrawals.

May Allah bless you

sending love to you

Wow. I read many comments on this video and it’s clear each person has different experiences in how this drug works in our bodies. I’m a retired army Infantryman and nearly 59 and started taking Tramadol after a severe leg injury in 2005. To make things even more interesting, I had stomach surgery a few months after the injury called a full Nissin procedure and it caused “failure to absorb” episodes where any med I took may or may not process and metabolize properly either partially or nothing at all. Then I have the inability to process opioid meds! They barely work and the stronger the pain med, the less it worked. Tramadol was the only med that worked consistently when my stomach was cooperating. To make sure the dose will absorb, I make sure my stomach is empty for 90 minutes after eating and wait for 45 minutes after taking the med before I eat anything else. I don’t drink and never did drugs so all this was new to me and it was so embarrassing to tell the doctor that it’s not working or sometimes I consume more than prescribed, they thought I was abusing the med which I never expected. For me, taking this drug is like taking a Tylenol (I’m allergic to Aspirin or anything in that drug family due to RH negative blood) and I don’t get any kind of high or improved mental state, it just works at relieving the pain. I’ve been taking it for 19 years now and it’s one of 3 meds I take daily but I consume 20% more than others die to the stomach issue which my doctors finally acknowledged a few years ago as the information was disseminated down to them. 6 months after I got my stomach surgery they quit doing the full nissin because of a 40% rate of adverse reactions in absorbing meds and nutrients but try explaining that to a doctor or medical staff you have to deal with, they’re not budging on their abuse opinion. I don’t have any sleep issues or body temperature swings as some have, one of my other meds does have a known side effect of making me grouchy so I’m extra careful to not respond too quickly to any adverse stimuli. I did find a way to improve my stomachs ability to absorb the dose by crushing the tablet and putting them into gelatin capsules you can get at health food stores, it was a great improvement for me given my issue. I did this with another med I take as well that was giving me similar issues. During the Gulf War I was exposed to Sarin nerve agent in multiple minuscule doses for 30 days but our unit ignored the chemical alarm when it went off a couple times a day. Turns out the Air Force was bombing weapon storage facilities and there was chemical munitions stored there and we were along the Saudi-Iraqi border and chemical weapons spread best during cooler and arid conditions. Back in 1997 I was informed by a letter from DoD that my battalion (2/502 INF, 101st ABN) was exposed to this agent and to report to the nearest military base for an exam and evaluation questionnaire regarding this, at the time I was still in the Army. I also took those PB pills that were experimental nerve agent defense pills that was intended to slow down the spread of an exposure in the nervous system but they did a lot of damage to people in various ways depending on their own predispositions. Apologies for the rambling, just wanted to give a bigger image of my background and how Tramadol affects me and I plan to reduce the amount and switch to something better and healthier. Thanks for your time.

Hi im going to try come off the xanax and diazapam , i take about 10 to 12 mg of xanax and 10mg of diazapan a day ..ive been researching this the last few weeks, does anybody have any experience with gaba supplements helping and magnesium? Im actually terrified to do this but i have to , my life is going nowhere at the minute and its because of the benzos , thanks in advance and ive so much respect to everybody who have given up these god awful awful pills 🫶 .❤

Thank you so much!

You've got a lot of heart. It shows. It's been a long time for me and I forgot I'm still sick.

I take 250mg of Tramadol a day. Every day from 5pm to 7pm with a bottle of wine to alleviate pain for a neck injury. The orthopaedic actually says I need a neck surgery. I am avoiding it due to financial reasons and fear of the opperation. After a year I have started getting some anxiety and panic attacks and I think it's due to the tramadols, so I now also take 1 or 2 Ativans to relax the anxiety. This also allows me to sleep. I ran out tonight and realised it will be around 4 days to get a refill and this is stressing me out. Any advice please...
