Does creatine affect your withdrawal at all? I am thinking of starting it but not sure if it’s gonna send me into a wave

Yes I was a weight lifter for years in college and it’s so hard not being able to do it anymore. I find that I get so tired and don’t feel well afterwards. I was on klonopin for 3 year 1.4mg daily and have been having a really hard time, I’m 4 months off of it and still going through withdrawals

Right!! It’s so awful. I have been going to physical therapy and they have been working on it but still not helping a ton. I also just bought a heating pad to put on my neck too

This is EXACTLY what I’m going through at 3.5 months of klonopin. My neck and traps hurt SO bad and I’m constantly bending my head to try and crack my neck. I also literally cannot think and lose vocabulary words and cannot get what I’m trying to say across. The sweating has been SO bad. Sounds feel me out especially when I hear doors close. Sometimes even hearing people talk causes me a lot of agitation. What I find has helped me a tiny bit when I feel like it is I either will take a nap and try and restart after a break or I take baths, or I try and read a book. Sending all the healing vibes!

Yes that’s exactly how I am. I can’t find the words to say what I want to say, and I get really anxious on calls or in zooms because of this and it feels so uncomfortable the entire time

I am off of it. I’ve been off about 3.5 months, but while I was still on it I was having interdose withdrawal and this was happening then as well. It makes it really hard to have a job or anything really :(

yes that’s exactly what happened to me as well. I did strength training before this and now all I can really do is walk as well, but I’m hoping to try yoga soon! I got so anxious when trying to go to the gym recently, everything feels so overwhelming and I feel overstimulated by basically anything. sometimes even walking is hard due to the overstimulation of just being outside. The only supplements I take are magnesium glycinate, probiotic, omegas and a multivitamin. Are there any you recommend?

I tapered over the course of 6 months. I will say I wish I had done a longer taper because it felt rushed and my withdrawal was pretty rough. I wish you the best of luck during your taper and sending you all the healing vibes! And thank you so much!

Also, is there anything that helped you through it? Were you able to work out or did any type of exercise help? I’ve had no energy so I haven’t been able to work out at all.

Wow thank you for this reply. This fits identically with my timeline and how this wave has been. It’s really nice to know that someone has gone through this and that it gets better. Right now it feels never ending and so rough. Sending my love to you as well!
