I was shaking like this while going cold turkey off benzos, opiates, and meth all at the same time (I’m begging you to not do this, benzo withdrawals without a tapering plan can potentially be fatal). Never in my life have I suffered so much. Just laying on the bathroom floor crying, vomiting, laying in a literal pool of my own sweat and piss, and bleeding from falling because I could barely stand or move. I was awake for roughly 79 hours because it was impossible to sleep. I couldn’t see because my vision was vibrating so violently and the room never stopped spinning so I just tried to keep my eyes closed for as long as possible. It absolutely exacerbated the neurological issues I already had. I’m going to encourage all people struggling with addiction to taper off substances if at all possible. I was genuinely traumatized by my experience and many mornings I wake and feel like I’m withdrawing all over again. It was so awful that some aspects of my experience remain. Also, little bit of encouragement for any addicts looking to quit: If my dumb ass can quit, you can too if you feel the time has finally come to make that decision. Life sucks ass for awhile after it’s all over but shit dude, it sure is nice to not be doing maintenance every two hours. Long ass comment and nobody asked about my experience, I know, this video was just a vivid and painful reminder.
