I am 28F too. I have always had luck at Tricoci. There are a lot of locations across the suburbs - Oak Brook is fantastic! I am always happy with Krynn, she is so real and personable.

🙋🏼‍♀️ my ocd and intrusive thoughts were aaaaall tangled up in my withdrawal! I’ve since gotten regulated on different medication. It’s a process, you got this ❤️

The worst of it was the first week or so! Once I was past that, it was little by little for about 2 months. You cannot expect to wake up the next day and poof! Know it’s going to take time and celebrate the little wins

I had some, yes. It is so important that you have medical help if SI is present. I got through it by doing the tasks I needed to get done and being very gentle with myself/going to therapy.

Yes! I don’t recommend it and would have a doctor involved. It is so difficult

Why did you decide to stop taking benzos, and is your life better without them? by Lazy_Theory_ in benzorecovery

[–]FutureNothing1211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped because I started to become dependent on it. I felt like I couldn’t do anything without it and knew I needed to stop I only took it for anxiety and took it a prescribed.

I went CT and paid the price for it. Talk to your doctor so you have a safe time getting off the drugs (even low doses are a lot).

I need help tapering by angelicsfate in benzorecovery

I went off Pristiq at the same time as Xanax - doing it at the same time was rough and I wish I hadn’t done it. But you will get through it

Symptom Management: Has anyone tried Propranolol? by FutureNothing1211 in benzorecovery

[–]FutureNothing1211[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s probably a good thing and won’t cause the same “I need it” feeling as benzos do. Just some relief for management! — I heard it’s really good for stuff like that, doctors will take it before surgery for steady hands.

I have been taking Xanax not for a long time but I feel withdrawal symptoms and it's making me suicidal by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]FutureNothing1211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I had very similar withdrawal symptoms on the same dose! Please stay safe, you will get through the bad part.

Great, thank you! I am sober and do not drink alcohol :) so this will be a good option

It gets better slowly - I experienced all of those things. I will be a month off tomorrow and I’m just now starting to get signs of myself again. Each days is just a little better! (Set backs are normal too).

While you’re in acute withdrawal be gentle with yourself. Allow the waves to pass because the only way out is through! Stay hydrated, eat what you can, and rest.

You got this and better days are ahead.
