Until people like you and me actually confront doctors and nurses about this epidemic they will continue in their harmful ignorance. The onus of effort is on those of us who have survived. I warn everyone I come in contact with about these toxins. I would encourage you to also plant seeds of warning with those in your sphere. It is an action we CAN take.
@@silvana8246 They are ignorant and foolish. People that defend these poisons are truly sick people and deserve the hell that will be unleashed when the drug eventually turns on them. Harsh but that's life.
Thank you for sharing your story, and helping spread awareness about the dangers of benzos! I'm so sorry for your loss and pain. Congratulations for being a year off that is a huge accomplishment!!

I hope you feeling much better now, I am 55 years old on been on Xanax for maybe 7 years I want to get off from them so bad but the fears of withdrawal scare me, I don't feel like my self even taking them, I pray to God he give me the strength to wean of them. May God keep giving the strength to all whole are going throw this.
Your story is harrowing. The fact that you made it this far is a true measure to hope. All of your symptoms are very serious each on its own would be enough to drive someone off the deep end. But sometimes we live minute to minute to just get through. Thank you for spreading the word with your story.
Your story is very similiar to my own. I have not been able to put my thoughts together enough to do a video but you described alot of what i went through. I never did find a doctor who recognized that this was due to the benzodiazepine, and i even saw several neurologist, every one in my plan actually. I eventually lost my job and ran out of money, but i also went to other states and used my own money looking for answers because i too thought i was going to die. I am about a year from being off a forced cold turkey by the VA; i was never reinstated and ended up in 2 detoxes and 3 pysch stays where i was polydrugged. I am so sorry for all of the suffering you have been through. Sometimes when i really think of it, i can't believe what has happened to me but than i hear a video from someone like yourself and i realize that yes, this unfortunately is real, it happened and it is not over yet. I hope to do a video some day as well. The more of us that come foward, the better chance we have of other's believing us, and making changes so that other people do not have to go through this. This is no joke; people are losing thier lives; seizures, strokes, heart attacks and suicides. Thank you for coming foward and God bless you.
Thanks! That gun to the head looping is horrific. I’m re-tapering and not stable and know I am headed back there. Interesting what your Neuro said. I will ask mine about it. How is your pain now? Have you had severe muscle tightness, contracture and feeling like all muscles have turned to hard shortened rubber that crushes you lengthwise?
I'm so sorry your feeling so sick. Such an awful experience. I am still healing but many things have gotten better. Still symptomatic. It's just unreal.
Most of my burning went away. I do still get it in my brain but it's not as painful as it once was. I would continue to drop lower than that. I'm sorry your still suffering from this. I never thought I'd still be having symptoms at 2 1/2 years off but I can tell you it does get better.
I have the same symptoms like you veryyy sever air hunger heart palp ect I took xanax only 3 months and i tapper becouse i try to could turky and almost die from a heart attak I am off from 6 months i still have bad symptoms i hope to be ok hugs
NO ONE CAN STOP THESE WITHOUT BEING TORTURED! This is NOT FUNNY!ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TAKEN MORE TGAN IN SN EMERGENCY 1time Situation to STOP A SEIZURE!!! This is NOT LEGAL TO BE PRESCRIBED for weeks at a time!!!!
You've done a great job on this video. Very believable. 10 years off, iatrogenically injured and still healing.

i do this all the time raising awareness on these toxic poisons and get laughed at or ignored every time.

What is the name of the neurologist who told you about the basil ganglia?
thank you for telling your story.
Thanks! That gun to the head looping is horrific. I’m re-tapering and not stable and know I am headed back there. Interesting what your Neuro said. I will ask mine about it.
How is your pain now?
Have you had severe muscle tightness, contracture and feeling like all muscles have turned to hard shortened rubber that crushes you lengthwise?
You'll get better xxoo
How are you doing now? Just starting to taper and feel horrible
I'm so sorry your feeling so sick. Such an awful experience. I am still healing but many things have gotten better. Still symptomatic. It's just unreal.
@@christinekotansky5930 just wondering if your burning went away. Mine is excruciating all day and night. I am down to .50 should I jump off now.
Most of my burning went away. I do still get it in my brain but it's not as painful as it once was. I would continue to drop lower than that. I'm sorry your still suffering from this. I never thought I'd still be having symptoms at 2 1/2 years off but I can tell you it does get better.
@@christinekotansky5930 how long did it take for the burning to go away. Mine is nonstop
It took about a year and a half Post tapering but I still have it in my brain and eyes
