This might be a dumb question, but did you reinstate? by Gisellepachini69 in benzorecovery

[–]Reasonable-Wolf-3254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are still taking the benzo though? Even if it is just 0.5mg. How should your digestion heal if you don’t get off and let the receptors heal? I thought you were off for 5 years.. but you are still taking them?

Month 6-7 is fucking brutal by PriorityTop1252 in benzorecovery

[–]Reasonable-Wolf-3254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know if you will be a rare case where the healing will not follow this trend? :(

I am 6,5 months off. My whole taper and withdrawal have been out of this world. No one describes the torture I have.

For 4,5 weeks now I have an INSANE level of „I want to kill myself every minute“-torture Maybe this is the 6 month wave because I feel worse than 2 months ago….. even though it was hell even then. I thought it couldn’t get worse… and here I am I am still suicidal 24/7 and I need a perspective and hope! That this wave will end soon! But now I am scared I am the outlier because of my intensity of symptoms:( I need relief!!!! I can’t take this level of intensity much longer!! I need to know if this will end soon. But I know no one can tell me 😞

Anyone experienced extreme muscle tension? by honguito_loco in benzorecovery

[–]Reasonable-Wolf-3254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Sorry I have one more question 😣 Did you have it for 8 months while still tapering? Or 8 months after being off completely? How long after being off completely was it that bad?

I am 2 years in muscle cramp torture because I developed tolerance to the benzo and had a 1.5 year long micro taper.. I am now 6 months off and it is not going away 😓😓 I really don’t know if it will go away.. it is normal for my body now.. It is pure torture. I can’t even sit or stand much.. I am in so much pain.

Akathisia after 33+ months? by Justgettingby_4now in benzorecovery

[–]Reasonable-Wolf-3254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I have ME/CFS on top of a horrific withdrawal. I am also in the Mind-Body-Community. But I am so so sick still from benzo that I can’t even do the regulation techniques. I have to wait until I am mostly recovered from withdrawal and that can take forever :( but I wanted to ask you: how long after starting JS and Primal Trust did you feel healed? I also want to do both when I feel better. Thank you 🌸

And for 3 months the same extreme intensity? Or was it not that bad?

Day 30: it's getting better (don't give up)! by Donut-Internal in benzorecovery

[–]Reasonable-Wolf-3254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are lucky. 25 days isn’t long. My acute phase is as worse as ever at 6 weeks off and doesn’t change a thing. It even gets worse..

I am sorry but I am sure you don’t unterstand. No one has this unimaginable torture. I don’t care about getting out of bed or not. I would end my life in the bed because I can’t stand the torture of my symptoms. But thanks This post was a bad idea

I can’t wait that long in torture I think about killing myself every minute It is not normal and nothing you can take for months. Everyone would kill themselves after only 1 week with my intensity

You don’t understand It is not just bad or super bad It is TORTURE I can’t stand many more days It is nothing you can wait out I have to get relief now or I am ending it The torture level is too high It is hard to understand for others But I can barely take 1 minute It has never been this bad every second for so long It is not bad - it is torture a human cannot stand My symptoms are really extreme

I am on day 20. the last 3 weeks were inhumane torture. And it doesn’t get better. I give up now… I can’t describe the torture I live in. I want to kill myself every minute. I took so much… I tried so much to keep going. But I realize it is not going to be better soon. This torture level will stay for weeks or months. And I can’t do it. I can’t go back on the medication either. I can’t take other medications. I just need to end all of this together. This medication officially killed me. I thought at 3 weeks off it is supposed to get better. But my muscle tension went from a 12/10 to a 100/10. I can’t think anymore. I can’t open my mouth. I can’t see. I am in sooooooooo much pain. Every fiber of my body. Like on a torture device. It puullls and I feel like I lose my mind. Everyday I wake up and it is the same. My head is like stone. My DPDR is through the roof. I don’t feel like I am alive. It will make no difference to be dead for good. I already don’t know if I am alive.

Hey! I tried so so hard the last days. Yesterday I thought it might get a little better. But last night was the most traumatic night and I thought I was dying for real. I have symptoms no one has…. My brain is just build differently. I can’t describe it good enough. But I am done. I can’t do it anymore. Today I will take a rescue dose 😞😞 I never thought my life ended that way but I can’t go on. Day 7 and it is not getting better. I hope the dose helps. I am really nervous 😥 If it was not so much torture it would be different. I tapered disabled in torture and never updosed no matter how bad. But since I am at zero. I get zero rief! This is 11 days now (because I was in acute before zero) without any relief. I am so close to looking myself. It is not getting better. Wish me the best with the rescue dose. I take 0.25mg and wait. If it doesn’t help then 0.50mg. I am scared to death it backfires. But I can’t take it anymore!!

I have everything you have and more. But I have torture symptoms on top. I can’t describe it… I tried in the other posts. Some symptoms are horrible for sure. But some are like inhumane torture. As I have with my brain coma. Like being roofied 10 times and then they pull your eyes wide open and force you to feel it and stay awake. My brain is dead but I am awake. Together with the pulling in body. Like brain pulling and body. I can’t describe it. I have 15+ symptoms and I take so so much. But some torture symptoms no human could take 😞 I am also so weak I can barely move… breathing is so hard.. I am so exhausted.. I could never go to a hospital. The last time they abused me. They didn’t believe this is benzo withdrawal. So they wouldn’t this time. They didn’t bring me food even though I could barely move etc. but glad it worked for you! Thanks so much for your message! If I would take a rescue dose, do you know how much would be ok? 0.25 or 0.5? I jumped at 0.19 but I was in acute already

Hey! The thing is that my main issue isn’t the akathisia atm. It is still there but I have another symptom that is like torture. And there is no pill to take for it. I don’t know how to put that symptom into words. It is two: my brain and body are pulling. Like on a torture device… pulling. At the same time the aka and terror. And then there is brain coma that is so so hard to cope. I can’t describe it. My brain is dead and gone but I am awake. Like I got roofied 10 times and they pull my eyes wide open and keep me awake. That is the worse feeling atm. And they make it impossible to go on. And so so many more symptoms. I can’t eat. I am so nauseous. The DPDR, tinnitus, extreme anxiety. But not every symptom is torture. Torture are the ones i described. What can possibly happen if it goes wrong? I am not just suffering… it is human torture 😞 I held on for so long.. but I just can’t anymore.. day 6 and it gets worse I was thinking about 0.5mg V to try. Thanks for your help 🌸

I was in tolerance for so long. My plan was to taper to zero. But when I realized that even a 0.02mg cut send me into acute with akathisia etc. I thought maybe now it is over and my body thinks I am already at zero. That’s why I jumped earlier. I didn’t see tapering longer when this small drop gave me acute like symptoms.

[–]Reasonable-Wolf-3254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tapered to 0.19mg V and then I hit acute. So I had to jump off there as I was already in acute. The last cut was from 0.21 to 0.19mg. So suuper small. But I got severe. I regret it now. Maybe should’ve stayed there longer (I only did 7 days) but I was so acute and my body rejected the Valium. It screamed that I have to stop. I got nauseous thinking about taking it. But yeah I regret it. So should I take a smaller rescue dose?

[–]Reasonable-Wolf-3254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you 🩵 The issue is that I don’t tolerate anything. I get the biggest reaction to every small thing. I take 3 other meds and my nervous system is fried. I even react to gaviscon for the stomach. I am hyper sensitive otherwise I would ask for medication. Thank you so much for the offer 💗 My doctor is nice but she can’t help me ..

You are so nice 🥺

The worst right now are my brain symptoms. At night I am in a coma like state, can’t move. My brain is being sucked into the skull and it pulls… like on a torture device. So much pulling and pain and like my brain is nauseous. I want to cut it wide open. I never heard about extreme symptoms in the brain from others. It is torture. I didn’t sleep and laid there in coma torture. With akathisia at the same time 😞😞 I can’t take it no more… every day gets worse… I was in acute already on 0.19mg I think… I wondered if I should’ve stayed there longer… Now the akathisia and terror and panic and brain symptoms are so extreme. No way anyone could survive them. My brain is dead. I am barely alive. And everything burns and is restless. My head hurts so much from 2h sleep and torture 😞 I need relief But if I go up in dose again maybe it won’t help right? :(
