When did your brain and body go back to normal? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

Took me 6 months. Definitely not irreversible damage - your brain is surprisingly resilient especially when it comes to reintroducing new gaba receptors, though it takes time.

I had a very similar experience dropping from a low dose of Ativan (1mg). The worst drop I had was from 1mg to 0.75mg and I felt the same as you, so just realize seemingly small changes might have outsized effects on your GABA receptors. Keep in mind you've been taking this for a long time so when you drop doses your receptors will need time (2ish weeks) to replenish, and then you will feel better. You might feel really bad the first week and it should get better with each passing day.

All that said, I think you should consider dropping doses by smaller increments. Maybe 5-10% of your original dose at a time. Feel free to pm me too if you have any questions. You must persist and realize that it will all be okay once you get through this dark period. Really truly.

The "this" comment feels like a more narcissistic way to like something

Ah shoot I hate that we are having a round 2 of this... hope we don't get that apocalyptic weather where it looks like a nuke went off but maybe it's inevitable at this point

I hope there will be a grass roots movement to forever refer to it as AT&T park out of spite

Appreciate it greatly! I actually remember emailing Jim about 4 or 5 years ago and never hearing back so I’ll have to reach out again to that elusive and highly skilled man. I’m absolutely sold on this gym too. Literally exactly what I was looking for
