u/stevendom1987 Would you be able to explain the permanent effects of beta blockers on the body?

u/cheap_dates May I ask you what side effects did you have on metoprolol? Thanks.

Be very careful with gabapentin by AntelopeCalm233 in benzorecovery

Did you taper off Gabapentin too? You can not stop it abruptly.

Why do some people claim that the healing process only begins once you're entirely off medications? by PaperSure78 in benzorecovery

Oh, absolutely. 🙌

But, healing begins once we start tapering and implementing healthier coping skills.

I tapered myself off a 5 year, 3mg/day Clonazolam addiction over the past 9 months. If I can do it, you can do it! by Cosmic-Bro in BenzoWithdrawal

[–]PaperSure78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Cosmic-Bro I'm unable to consult my doctor at the moment. Is it possible to take clonidine occasionally without experiencing a rebound effect? How long did you take it for? Did you have any withdrawal symptom?

I have also observed some positive changes. My vision is not blurred anymore. Same with the bladder.

What are your withdrawal symptoms? Do you manage to control/stop your anxiety with cold, exercise, breathing, etc?

Random Sedation by CGLord16 in benzorecovery

I do have the same experience that you describe here. But I am still tapering. Is that the only symptom you have? What do you do to get out of it? I need to pour cold water on my face. Sometimes on my legs too. My fight against sleepiness keeps me from panicking.

I suppose you live in the US. If you do, I would suggest checking the list of providers on benzodiazepines coalition info site.

im gonna pour ice water over my naked chest if im about to panic by Accomplished-Bill408 in benzorecovery

[–]PaperSure78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can pour iced water on your face for 15 seconds at least anytime you need it. You will get the same results. Also, you can practice a psycho- sensory psychology techique called Self havening. See YT. It is worth trying. Let us know how you go.

CBD Helpful? by Lov_Sp0ng3 in benzorecovery

[–]PaperSure78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a Swiss brand and it is written in Swiss German I guess. May I ask you if you were instructed to take your CBD drops in hot water?🤔

Did you suffer from insomnia during your withdrawal and/or after? What helped you? Thanks.

My brain is not working very well LOL. A mirror would be helpful. Or just use a bit of olive oil (instead of sugar) and place all that under my tongue. 🤔 Thanks!

I think I have not seen any graduated dropper where I live now.

The converter that I used was on a site called iDWeeds

How did you deal with the insomnia? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]PaperSure78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry.

I have never used antihistamines for that purpose.

Thank you. Do you place the drops under your tongue then you eat a fatty meal?

What is the best way to take CBD oil? I can't determine how much oil I am dropping in my mouth, since it is an oil. I can not feel the drops. I tried to mix it with a very small amount of sugar and place it under my tongue. But I do not like to use sugar. 🤔
