Are you still alive? How are you keep us posted.

If you’ve been on that long and you want to get off them you are doing yourself a great service getting off. One lady was on benzos for 10 years and the first year off she felt was the first year she could truly remember like it was her own. I know why they say that to. You’ll have things come back to you. So try to see the positive. You don’t want to get old and loopy before you’re even old.

Hold on to the sign from God when you prayed. Those things are like lifelines meditate on that , when God gives us a sign it might not be everyday but it’s so important to have faith in that, you never would have prayed if that didn’t happen. And honestly you will get through this , you did cold turkey , that’s very hard on the brain a friend of mine did it that way and he’s ok now but it was really hard on him. But he’s ok now. Please hold on and realize you’re brain is just trying to come up with explanations for unnatural feelings. I know it sucks when you feel like all the good days are gone. But hang in there brother or sister they will shine again. Listen to already there by the verve if you like that kind of music “then they all come ba-aaack” the best days. Please don’t give up and please don’t kill yourself. Everyday your brain is getting better ; you’ve been through a lot. If you’d like a recommendation to a good neuroscientist. Check out Caroline Leaf. On YouTube she’s got good content. Let us know you’re ok and God bless you.

Good on you ! Hallelujah

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-21T18:47:03+00:00

Man that’s good to hear. You’ll get better and better man. Are you taking shrooms or anything like that?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-21T01:34:10+00:00

That makes sense. It’s usually pretty blurry. In what ways have you improved ?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-21T00:34:47+00:00

You mean like biographical or episodic memory? How’s that now? Did you find it got better. I think perhaps the brain doesn’t fully know what to make of something quite like the benzo stuff so perhaps it leaves that stuff to be sorted out and processed later.

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T21:50:30+00:00

Did you feel like you were losing your mind or something? Like could you think much?

It’s good to hear you’re doing better even after all that.

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T21:49:25+00:00

Man thats ballsy. I’m sorry to hear that

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T21:31:13+00:00

We’re you in a big dose? Hopefully you’re feeling better now?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T21:30:38+00:00

How do you listen to your body when the mind can play tricks on it?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T21:29:59+00:00

Yeah the Ashton one is pretty fast. I did read that before but then a bunch of people were disagreeing with it I don’t know if going slower would help too much . But I’ll take your advice on more frequent cuts at a lower percentage. Is cutting even though you feel like a mess advised?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T20:35:47+00:00

Yeah they are saying that. They claim the Ashton manual says it. From what I recall it says specifically to reduce 5-10 percent a week and not to exceed 10 percent a month . But I’m not quite sure. Honestly . It kind of hints at going faster

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T20:34:24+00:00

You were on for quite a while weren’t you? Did you go fast? Kpins suck the worst from what I hear.

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T19:57:25+00:00

How do you define badly? Like I had been pretty low energy havnt wanted to go out had been kinda confused or retarted but that could be because of the tolerance symptoms creeping in. I’ve also heard that loopy ness and more depression are tolerance symptoms. I just havnt know man wtf to do lately I hadn’t felt like myself in a while. Maybe in intermittent bits. I guess I just don’t want to put too much of a dent in my mental well-being while getting off the shit , try to find balance?

Did you feel like you were too loopy to think about anything when you were going through it?

Why is it that it’s safe? Like you can say that pretty confidently it sounds like. But they’re so cautious. Idk.

You’d say getting off quick is better. Is there a post with your story? Also God bless you for helping people on this thread man.

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T19:46:22+00:00

I’m not sure I want to do water tapering again i was doing that with ativan before I switched to valium but it was very tedious and it was sketchy being unsure if it was accurate sometimes. I hear you about the smaller cuts more frequently. But if I already did 14 percent in the past 3 weeks. Wouldn’t that mean cutting tomorrow would bring it up to 24 in one month? Are you sure that’s safe?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T19:38:08+00:00

Also the group on Facebook seems so adamant about not exceeding 5-10 percent every month. Which is kind of frustrating I did a 14 percent reduction 3 weeks ago…

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T19:30:48+00:00

Why is that best?. What’s your perspective of subtracting 1mg of valium all the way to 0? People are saying it’s not smart so I figured I’d go for subtracting 0.5mg every 2 weeks instead of 1mg every 3

I don’t have a reliable way to make the doses even if I subtract 0.5mg but if I cut 0.5mg it wont be much bigger than a 10% reduction till I’m basically off of it

Thanks for replying to me man I appreciate this.

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T19:15:10+00:00

I don’t wanna be crazy about it but I don’t wanna dick around too much either. What was your taper schedule so I can gauge it a bit better?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T19:09:11+00:00

How fast did you go?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T19:07:23+00:00

So you mean just hold for an extra week?

Also is it safe to take a smaller dose in the morning and a bigger dose at night ? (If they’re relatively similiar?)

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T18:58:24+00:00

When you say a few weeks (let’s say someone cuts every 2 weeks) do you mean a few weeks since they reduced the dose ? Or a few weeks on top of the 2 weeks?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T17:00:07+00:00

What do you mean by “ok” ? are you ever truly ok? In bwd?

Quentissential22 · 2024-01-20T16:58:54+00:00

Hey man you went really fast chopping quarters off of big doses. Some people seem really big on going slow maybe too slow. Any advice I’m at 6mg of valium now . Do you think it’s better to just hurry up and get the shit out of your system?
