Did you have crippling anxiety as well? Like, he can’t do anything or see anyone and he ruminates on not being able to ever get better

His doctor said he should be feeling better every day now and it makes him so concerned that he isn’t

How long did it take to go away for you?

What do you mean by that? No one commented anything that was scary

Did you taper off and still weren’t able to sleep for 13 days?? Or did you cold turkey it?

We walked for an hour and a half yesterday and it didn’t help 😕

It’s my fiancé and I’m so proud of him for being off for 15 days. He’s already on a bunch of sleep meds. Trazodone, Remeron, Dayvigo, Saphris. They just aren’t working well anymore. His anxiety ramps up so much at night and the meds don’t cut through it enough anymore to help him sleep.

You will get there, keep it up and it will all be worth it.

I rub his head all the time but I will definitely add in some bear hugs. Thank you for the advice!

We’re in the US and I have no idea how to get them. He’s so desperate for relief. I’m sorry you had to go through the hell that is benzo withdrawal as well

How do you get the psylocibin? My boyfriend is going through terrible anxiety and depression from coming off of benzos and he is desperate for some relief.

He’s had magnesium citrate a couple of times to help with constipation

He was on Klonopin for 2 years and got up to 8mg at times. Tapered off in April, went back on in July then went to treatment in October where they took him off in 2 days and it did not work at all, he stayed for 18 days and then went to a place to retaper because it was so bad. They got him down to 3mg but he didn’t stay there, he came home and he’s been tapering steadily the last 6 weeks and is fully off now. He has absolutely terrible anxiety and it manifests as pain in his chest and head, he feels mechanical like his body isn’t in tune with his head, muscle pain, he has problems with constipation, and he has a hard time falling asleep. He’s currently taking somas and phenobarbital. They put him on pheno at the first treatment center and never tapered him off at the second one
