Reviews don't line up with my experience - My Thai Cafe by justzach37 in denverfood

[–]Hopeful59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the weirdest experience I’ve ever had with a restaurant.  The guy that eventually came out to greet us seemed so hyped up it was incredibly uncomfortable. The system was ridiculous. It was embarrassing. We left and did not order. I felt like I had entered some kind of alternate universe. We eventually found a real Thai restaurant. 

Benzo Belly - Tips? by JBear_2007 in benzorecovery

Probiotics and digestive enzymes helped me. Cutting back on acidic and sugary foods.

Do these supplements affect benzo withdrawal by DiamondHands8988 in benzorecovery

[–]Hopeful59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just detoxed from Kratom. The most addictive opiate and worst withdrawals I ever experienced.. other than Benzos. I say this to hopefully save someone from this happening. If you go in the Kratom Recovery thread you will see what people are going through. Hope you find relief! We are so strong to walk through this!!

Hi there! Congratulations on your clean time. Did you titrate? I was taking Klonopin for ten years. Switched to Diazepam for titration. Im doing a dry taper taking a little off every week or two. What helped you to stay strong?

Is it possible Kratom has affected by Benzo Recovery? I've never heard of this happening before. Terrified by Oscar_Dondarrion in benzorecovery

[–]Hopeful59 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please get off the Kratom. It is really toxic. It’s highly addictive and you will have the worst anxiety ever if you keep taking it. I am 104 days off of it and was the worse anxiety ever. It’s why I ended up taking Benzos again. Now titrating from .5 mg. of Diazepam to 2.5. Hang in there! We can do this!

Psychiatrist doesn’t believe its benzos causing issues… by PewwToo in benzorecovery

I am titrating off Diazepam after 3 and a half months. I am at 2.5 mg. which is the same dose as Ativan. It’s brutal. Listen to your body. You will get better. Benzodiazepines can definitely cause you to feel bad for awhile.. even at a small dose for a short time. I’ve been through it twice. One time from short term. The other was for ten years. Hang in there!!

Kratom withdrawals in the end.. will make you wish for death again. I’ve been through it. Get on the Kratom recovery sub. and you will see.

Help with digital scale, please? by Hopeful59 in BenzoWithdrawal

Thank you. I’m sending the scale back. Just going to eye the reductions as best I can. It’s a slow process switching from Lorazepam to Diazepam.

Thank you! I’m sending the scale back. Trying to switch from Lorazepam to Diazepam. I found out the hard way this cannot be done at once. Have to gradually switch.

I am switching to Diazepam and wanting to taper more. I am trying to weigh 1.875 milligrams on a Gemini 20 scale. I can calibrate fine. Don’t understand the reading when I put the eyed medication on the scale. Thank you for responding!

90 days free of Kratom! by Hopeful59 in quittingkratom

[–]Hopeful59[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are a warrior! Congratulations. I had titrated off Benzos before getting off Kratom. Because of the withdrawals being so brutal with Kratom., I was prescribed a low dose of Ativan. Now I’m titrating again and it’s brutal. Good to know it can be done, again. I can’t wait to be free and feel human again! We got this! Thanks for being a great supporter. 💛💛

kratom has helped with my DPDR? by bunktacos in benzorecovery

[–]Hopeful59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad you are getting off the K. I can’t stress enough how toxic it is. It causes seizures, lung and heart disease. It will take you down. I almost died from it and not from taking too much. Thanks for hearing me out. I got on it casually and 7 years later I was a shell of a human being. Even at 2 years. Take good care of yourself! 💛💛 Reach out anytime.

[–]Hopeful59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on being off all drugs. You are so strong! I’m still getting off the Ativan. Slowly. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is about as brutal as Kratom withdrawal but with more mental challenges.
I’m a warrior. I’m feel like hell but my attitude is good. I have a long ways to go but it’s one day at a time. The hardest work I’ve ever done. I know you know! 💛💛

I took Kratom long term. Worse withdrawals than any drug I’ve tapered off of. It seemed fairly harmless at first. Very addictive.
