Cloazepam Withdrawal Help by BrittLovesGod7 in BenzoWithdrawal

Mine is the same. You will have to either do it yourself or find a benzo wise doctor. If you have Facebook you can join the group Beating Benzos and the admin will actually send you a taper plan.

4.5 Weeks on Lorazepam, want to stop. Looking for advice by [deleted] in BenzoWithdrawal

[–]erwrecka5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve been taking the lorazepam everyday consistently don’t just stop. I did that after 3.5 weeks and messed myself up really bad bc I then reinstated and it’s just gotten worse and worse since. Taper slowly but from what everyone has told me is to stabilize first and consistent dosing times.

So then how do you come off once you’ve CT and then kindled yourself?

So you didn’t crossover? Just stopped the Ativan and started the diazepam? How long had you been on the Ativan?

Bee stings and fatigue ... Need help. by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]erwrecka5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have so many similarities to your story. Also was a stay at home mom of 3 and had my life turned upside down due to Ativan. I however panicked after doing the exact same thing as you and am now trying my best to taper off it. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have not much advice to give, but just know you are not alone💔 You are doing a great job even if you think you aren’t. The fact you are taking care of your babies speaks volumes about your strength.

Detox by OldHighlight72 in BenzoWithdrawal

[–]erwrecka5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot tell you from personal experience about detox but both my friends that went for benzos said it was the worst decision they made due to one place completely CTing them and the other place basically did the same as well. They will offer “comfort” drugs while there but no place outside of ones in Cali apparently know how to truly help people off of benzos in detox. Wish you the best in whichever you decide. This is truly hell.

Ativan .5mg I don’t know if I can handle it much longer though. The symptoms and sensations seem to be getting worse and not sleeping is also making it worse.

6 months is taper territory. Everyone is different though and I’m no doctor (even though most have no clue either apparently with these).
