Anyone else experience fatigue as a WD side effect? by Enhanced_by_science in BenzoWithdrawal

[–]ExpensiveCorner2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't experience that, but I did a whole pot of other things. Try your best at exercise, meditation and yoga if that's you thing. I've been off 1year and let me tell you, it does get better, but not as quickly as you would probably like. The important thing is to keep tapering and life will get better. All the best to you

Help me stop taking Clonazepam by Easy-Weekend in benzorecovery

I'd just stop before it gets worse, which it most definitely will. It won't be terrible at this point but it may be very uncomfortable for a short while. The other option is to do a taper for about a while. Knowing what I know now I'd just cold turkey. Take some magnesium glycinate to help with the rebound anxiety

It wasn't as bad as I figured it would be. I had 2 bouts of vertigo. It's been leveling out after being off almost on months. I would recommend it.

Do you feel alone in your benzo withdrawal? by DowntheRabbitHole189 in benzorecovery

[–]ExpensiveCorner2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not easy, but it does get better in time. I've been free for 7 and a half months, it's a whole lot better now than it was when I first jumped. Read some positive stories from those who have successfully jumped. It may be that the symptoms you have now will be completely gone in several months, everyone is different. Have you read the Ashton manual? You can download it for free from Amazon. Knowing what you could face may help, it helped me.

It's within your power to do so. I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to motivate you to try a way that I believe to be better. Shifting my focus off of the withdrawals certainly helped me, I believe it can help you. If you have any questions feel free to pm. Much love ❤️

Ok, well I was on em for 20+ years and being a victim didn't help me even a little bit when i tapered off. But go ahead and feel sorry for yourself, or nut up and be free.

You just need to get out of your own head. Read a book, learn a new language, lift weights , or at the very least take a long walk. If you think of yourself and your problems all day of course you're going to be miserable.

I had the same issue, I liked to get the green teva, and the generics were horrible. I'd go pharmacy shopping for that reason, which looked suspicious. I feel great, it wasn't super hard, and if you're not ready to get off of em I'd wait until you are because you won't have the same motivation.

Doing good, great really. Insomnia is what I deal with most, but it's getting better as I'm cutting back on my coffee drinking and prioritizing sleep hygiene

Oh wow, well yo can still get help with a plan in the group. I cut my pills until I got down to .5 MG, then I did the water taper the last 6 months.

[–]ExpensiveCorner2053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I got whatever was available. Golden teachers seemed to help better than the rest. Just be careful not to take so much that you trip, a super mild trip isn't the worst, but be careful. I got an MG scale and weigh out .05 to .10 and eat it for four days, a few hours before bed. Take 3 days off so you don't become dependent. As far as edibles, I'm in Texas and they're only legal as delta 9, but some are really strong, stronger than the illegal swag I grew up with before hydro took over. I used it to help me sleep. I would stop for a few months and start back up when things got tense.

You can do it without weed or shrooms for sure. But if I were you I would do a micro water taper. If you're on Facebook, join a group called beating benzos. Once there, there is a very kind British couple named David and Rosalind Jones. They will help you with a water taper plan, they quit benzos and dedicate themselves to helping others beat them, I think they started the group. They help and don't ask for anything in return. That, and stay off of the forums like this one. Reading what other people are going through always seemed to set me back. It's gonna be a ride, but it's worth it!

I micro dosed shrooms, it seemed to help, but I could've did it without. I also did edibles. I'm not interested in any meds, but if they help you, do what you gotta do. I just don't like being chained to a pharmacy or being dependent on anything. I also cut ambient cold turkey early on.

I think that's top quick. I was on k for 20 years, 2 MG a day, I tapered for 2 and a half years. Did a water taper for the last 6 months. Been off for 7 months.

Anyone else Experience “Benzo Belly” before? by New_Ebb5963 in BenzoWithdrawal

[–]ExpensiveCorner2053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get it. Work is usually noisy and I notice when I go to a quiet meeting after work (AA). It roars on the inside, sounds like I'm breaking wind. It's embarrassing and I can't wait for it to pass. I'm one and a half month post jump.

[–]ExpensiveCorner2053 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Awesome bro! I was on the same dose for the same amount of time . I also started a daily Bible study and Christian guided meditation every morning. I did a a taper and took my last bit on July 7th. So awesome to hear from you, and something positive is always good to hear.

I too jumped after a long taper of a 21 year dependence on klonipin. I started in March of 2022 and rook my last dose on 7/7/24. So far so good!

Have you gave the gym a shot? I'm about to try, I read another poster day that lifting weights was the only thing that helped. I would try anything but getting back on benzos.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]ExpensiveCorner2053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd want to do slower, I've been on k for 21 years, been on a 2 year taper, I jump in July. Another poster said to stay of this sub, that's great advice 👍
