Tapering for a year with no Dr assistance. Can not function today. I had to move in with my Mother and start taking care of her 2 years ago. Have no way to get better with this responsibility and difficult personality. Can not work, have 24/7 equilibrium rocking, can't sleep again, exhaustion, anxiety, depression, lost short term memory, can't learn and retain, blurry vision, twitching nerves. Have tried Theanine Serene and makes me feel worse but sleep better. No one respects me family wise. I never wanted to collapse and not be able to work. The torment is beyond words. Clinging to faith.
I understand but never forget the time passes. People forget and move on so don’t beat yourself up. Taper very slow. Very!! Not sure what you are on or how much but take your sweet time coming off. You don’t want to feel too horrible on each cut. Check out the Ashton Manual for coming off and go slower than that!
I came off of benzoyl cold turkey, I checked into a rehab hospital and confessed to my Dr. I was out of control and was going to die if I did not stop. I was monitored and given fenyl barbital and broke out in hives so he stopped it and just cold turkey and white knuckles it for 90 days. I will never say it was easy and for a short time I thought I was going to die but for me it was worth all I went through so that I could live.❤❤❤❤❤
I am sixteen years off benzoyl and thanking Jesus Christ every day. O would run out of a thirty day at four times a day script in two weeks then suffer serious problems until refill and do it all over again for years until I realized I was gonna die and checked myself into rehab and aftercare. Thank you Jesus
Almost died from benzo withdrawal. Quit cold turkey after years of use. Was detoxing and couldnt miss a day of work. I was working 12 hour days in a slaughterhouse stacking 100 pound boxes of meat.
I was a hospital corpsman in the Navy and have PTSD. Got prescribed Xanax by va and it destroyed my life. It didn't stop my nightmares of war. It made everything worse.
@@ShaunSavage-kl9pd Yup. I hear ya. Benzos are the devil. It truly woke me up to how much doctors don't know or don't care about. Shocking actually. Pure filth. The brain and body took a hit. Now it's about getting it back. It's a journey. No doubt on that one
7 months in BIND down to 3.15mg valium.... .absolutely hell....creates a chemical brain injury....no words can describe the level of torture and suffering
@@MrPeterISABELLA I know. It’s horrible. From the pit of hell. Benzos are of the devil. Cut slower then. I tell people to cut according to the Ashton Manual but cut even slower than that!
@@BenzodiazepineRecoveryNetwork horrific really badly struggling on 3.15mg valium The hardest drop for me has been the last 5mg...taken me 6 weeks to drop it from 3.5 to 3.15mg ....horrific...the drops before this easy I think the entire process wears us right down.
I was on 6mg clonazepam for 5 years. Im 24 wasnt warned of the issues. Was given 10mg twice a day diazepam to taper. . Way to low. And i ended up turning ice cold to the touch and sweating bad 30 minutes ago. Its been hell
@@Dillion-v6t I’m sorry. Have you looked at the Ashton Manual to show to your doctor? The switch over can also cause that since even though it’s still a benzo, it’s a different one. I felt lousy after doing a switch over as well. My body got used to it eventually.
@BenzodiazepineRecoveryNetwork yeah I showed my pharmacist and he's trying to contact my psychiatrist as you can't get past the front desk unless you are a pharmacist or something
@@Dillion-v6t Winning the benzo war is a battle of time and attrition. You may wind up not having many or no symptoms when you come off. But for now the issue for you is feeling good as you taper. Go slow. Do not rush it. If it’s years so be it.
you speaking facts, i watched entire video and it gave me motivation. im suffering from 1mg xanax everyday for around 8 years. i wanna quit benzos, tried tapering multiple times but failed and came back to them. what would you recommend me? should i try cold turkey?
Thanks for the comments. Definitely do NOT do a cold turkey! That is what happened to me and it put me into a world of hurt! If you have to take years to come off, then do that. The key is to go very slow. Very slow. Check out the Ashton Manual for coming off and go on sites like Benzo Buddies to help you. Keep coming back to my channel as well. I will be putting up many videos! Do not rush coming off. Ever! Slow wins the race!
My mother just killed herself yesterday. She was struggling with benzo withdrawal for 6-7 years. She just couldn't get of them. The drugs werent helping her anxiety at all. She said it was like living in hell, and she finally decided to end it all. I personally think it should be illigal to give this shit to patients without informing of the risk. She was given benzo in the beginning for releaving anxiety symptoms because of her childhood trauma. She ended up getting a higher and higher dosis until it was impossible to get out of.
@@camfre4k I am truly sorry to read this. Incredibly so. Please take care of yourself. It will take a while to process. Benzos are a filthy and evil drug. They need to be banned for any new patients. They need to go into the filthy ash bin of history they so deserve. I am so sorry about this. It is so infuriating. Doctors are garbage on it. Not all but way too many. Just talking heads for pharma.
@@BenzodiazepineRecoveryNetworkthank you. I truly hope all of you who are struggling are getting off this horrible drug, and get better !!! I fucking hate the doctors and the industry pushing this poison!!!!
Thank GOD it has gotten better. It’s a fight against pure evil. I liken it to a puzzle that falls on the floor and little by little you have to put the pieces back in. Let more time heal you and some exercise along with good diet and brain foods.
@BenzodiazepineRecoveryNetwork so far the first couple weeks was a bit rough but now that I'm in the 3rd week almost been a month I'm gradually getting better
Consider yourself very fortunate if you are doing this well early. Never ever go back on a benzo.. Ever! The next time could take you much longer to get better. Stay clear of it and stay clear of sleep meds like ambien and lunesta. Benzo lite.
It's weird. I used to be hyper sexual in benzo withdrawal. Then nothing. Zero interest. It balances out over time. As I keep saying benzos blow up everything. Pure evil filth. Never ever go back on again. You will get there.
I have yet to see a case as severe as mine. Im scared im gonna leave my precious babies alone in this world. They're disabled and need me i need help somehow!
Which country are you in? Do you have healthcare? Don't be afraid of asking for help, plenty of countries have better systems now, there are facilities and professionals who can help. Go to your physician and tell them this, they will point you in the right direction.
@@littlesometin I’m in America. Yes I do have healthcare. I totally agree with you. Just be very careful of what pills they push on you. Healing is mostly a time thing.
Because most doctors are clueless about it even though anyone can look up withdrawal symptoms right on the net! Stay with the people who know that have been through it!

Amen. So happy you got through it. JESUS is the ONLY Way. Amen.
@BenzodiazepineRecoveryNetwork how did you come down off of it? A slow taper?
I was tapering and suddenly at 6 mgs it was like my body gave out. I went too fast and did a cold turkey at 6 mgs of Valium.
Almost died from benzo withdrawal. Quit cold turkey after years of use. Was detoxing and couldnt miss a day of work. I was working 12 hour days in a slaughterhouse stacking 100 pound boxes of meat.
Yup. Can totally relate. I almost died as well. Thank GOD you are here. Can you tell me a little bit more about it?

And keep Praying. There is Power in Prayer. In JESUS Name I Pray. Amen.

Awesome. How are you feeling?

do you have sex problem after benzo
