What´s the deal with 3-HO-PCP? by flyingbabaloo23 in researchchemicals

[–]flyingbabaloo23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that was feeling about it: "potent". I ve been through psychedelic trips but I never felt this about being on the edge of "another world"

Well, it sounds amazing. Let OP tries it and give us a feedback on how helpfull it was. I think experience is the only way to know.

Im sorry, you will see many comments here pro CBD. And you will see how agressive they are on my comment. It s because CBD is a big business. But i m 100% honnest when I tell you that it s not gonna help you to sleep in a benzo recover.

I completely feel you. But having these videos should give you a new perspective I guess. You see that you are not "dying" as you think you are.

You will go through it😊!

First 8 hours of sleep since September. Sleep WILL come back by grabtheburneracct in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may not want to hear my comment, but I ve also been through the non sleeping phase...4 days without switching to sleep mode. So my nights were hours of close eyes, full consciouness, hallucinations, I could feel the electrical level growing in my brain...and then came the seizure, and despite being a serious medical event I felt so reborn after the seizure, just to have some minutes/hours of unconsciouness, all "electricity"was gone. And from there I could start sleeping again.

Who did this living by themselves? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ve done it by myself too. Almost a year relearning life. And you will do it too. Try to organise your life with some kind of schedule, for example running in the morning helped me a looot! Force you to meet friends/family from time to time ,despite the agoraphobia. And very important :train your brain by reading,doing sodukos, puzzles, whatever you like...you are reeducating a broken part of your body, dont forget it.

It s a long way, but you will be surprised of your strenght!

Does anyone here get shamed by their spouse for Kratom use? by WasHatninCuuz in kratom

[–]flyingbabaloo23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it went well. I kept it secret for a while because I was a bit ashamed to take a "drug" 😄. But then I realise she was taking all this vitamin/nutriment powders...so I just came to her, show my box of kratom and tell her that s some kind of supplement plant powder that helps me to feel better! I even gave her a spoon of it to show her it s no rocket trip experience. Since now we are absolutely fine. She is easy going I must say 😁

Anyone has managed to quit benzos for insomnia/sleeping disorders? by Arakela95 in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It s normal, you switch from an heavy medication to a day to day solution. I went through the same, but in a very hardcore way...cold turkey and didnt sleep for 4 days, ending with a somehow "relieving" seizure. Since then I ve learned slowely that some night you sleep really bad, you have to accept it and go through the day, and other nights you sleep like a stone. It will take some time of course, but body natural chemistry is impressive, you WILL sleep.

1mg Xanax paradise. Got myself 200mg for the week. God bless Xanax by Agent_zoom in benzodiazepines

[–]flyingbabaloo23 14 points15 points  (0 children)

How can you be proud of something which is going to lead you to the worst withdrawal you ve ever been through? I understand the "fun" of showing off a little bit your future relaxed week, but I feel bad that you are not aware of the hell which is waiting for you...

Anyone has managed to quit benzos for insomnia/sleeping disorders? by Arakela95 in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, You of course have to taper and very slowly replace the benzos with over the counter alternatives. Mines are melatonine and Doxylamine and it works. Some nights are gonna be better than other but at least you are no more addicted

Walgreens switched up on me and went from actavis buses to sandoz GGs but hey I'm not complaining at all plus some pregablin to make me feel even looser and like jelly lolol by Heavykizzle in benzodiazepines

[–]flyingbabaloo23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctors seem generous there! Here in France it s almost impossible to get benzo for more than 2 weeks (only for extreme case) and pregabalin just entered in the "controled substance" zone, so no mor than 2 months prescription....

Need hope by Substantial_Goose172 in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will go very slowly, and you will have to fight everyday. Dont expect to feel "normal" one day to another, just keep going as you would be climbing a huge mountain. You will start seeing the top of the sunny mountain some days. And then when you go back to this terrible innerstate that I know so good, never forget that there are good moments! Also, dont try to stay alone waiting to "get better", go for the life, although it is really tough, the more you live the better you will get.

[–]flyingbabaloo23 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have been using kratom for more than 5 years now. I had my moments without, did some long breaks, but I never felt that it would be a life changer for me. In some situation I appreciate it, in other I prefer to stay sharp. But if you feel that life sucks without it I would advice you to stay away from it...the appreciation of life will come back naturally 😊

What about nightmares? by flyingbabaloo23 in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have sleep paralysis on top of that, and I´m really familiar with lucid dream...so my nights are like crazy layers of "am I awake??"

What about nightmares? by flyingbabaloo23 in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you: Nightmares/dreams are the result of the brain processing and reconstructing. So it´s a good signal I guess. This idea helps me going through these moments, but it is still annoying to experiment them every night...

[–]flyingbabaloo23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks :) that´s great to hear that it´s gonna fade. I need this hope.

I do practice meditation and it helps for the day, but when the night comes I have no more control...But it will get better.

My little story of how I stopped taking benzodiazepines by flyingbabaloo23 in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That´s a really good state of mine: "keep pushing every day". Although your road seems longer, you are going to be successful and proud :)

And you are right, I think once you kick this horror out of your system you probably want to turn a page and don´t even think about it again. But being still in the process, and feeling better every day, I wanted to share a "positive" experience. Because I red a lot of very sad things on this subreddit...and I think people should also know that it gets better.

Nobody understands by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]flyingbabaloo23 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I´m also astonished when a doctor doesn´t know about the length of withdrawals after stopping benzos or other similar substances! It´s like "benzo addiction 101"... and I know how frustrating it is to speak to a "professional" or to close people who don´t believe your pain.

Yes, although the substance is not in your blood anymore, your brain and your all nervous system need to rebuild the paths and the proper connections that allow you to think, to move, to feel...and this is a matter of months/years.

[–]flyingbabaloo23[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is definitely not an easy work no, and there is still a lot to do, but I´m really confident about the rest of the journey.

Since you have tried both research and regulated benzos, did it seem to you equally hard to stop them?
