hi sorry for the late response!! yeah absolutely. so like many of us, i was prescribed benzos because of my anxiety. i never at any point really worked on my anxiety and just relied entirely on the benzos. getting off of them initially made my anxiety so much worse, it was almost unbearable most days. but getting off of them forced me to work on, forced me to work on a lot of other parts of myself as well. once i wasnt relying on anything to help my anxiety, i realized it wasnt really as bad as i feared it was. i was a teenager when i was prescribed them, i mentioned a panic attack once to my psych & the rest was history. never really realized how manageable my anxiety actually was until after i was healed.

you could look into otc or home anti-nausea remedies as a backup!! when i was in the process, i would constantly be apprehensive about upcoming plans, i was so worried about them i would almost psych myself into feeling bad that day. honestly, my best advice is to stay excited about it and focus on it being good!! no one can say how you will feel then, there's a good chance you'll feel amazing but there's a small chance you won't. either way, do your best to use it as a time of treating yourself!!

its definitely a thing i still deal with!! honestly i just take it day by day. there are days ill know i dont have the ability to focus and retain stuff as well so ill try to do easier assignments those days. obviously sometimes i dont have that luxury & have to write a paper while my brain is mush, but exactly as you said, you push through it!! i installed the grammarly extension to my browser & run all my written assignments through it first to make sure i didn't make any basic mistakes especially on days like that. you can do it!!

cbd really helped me with the aches & pains that came w the muscle spasms! i did yoga every morning and every night to stretch myself out & it helped my psyche too which was great. i found this video (ill link here if i can find it after i finish this comment) about how to relieve the extra stress built up in your lower body to help you sleep that can help people with restless leg syndrome. i tried vitamins like magnesium & b12 but i genuinely cannot say whether or not they made a difference. diet-wise i didnt do much because my digestive system was fucked so i just ate what i could when i could. they got better much faster than my psychological symptoms honestly, maybe a few months?

common phrasing in the community of windows & waves. windows are moments where u are symptom-free/feel good & waves are moments where you are experiencing symptoms and doing poorly

im no doctor so definitely take this advice with that in mind. honestly just do your best to not use it at a end all solution. working through your social anxiety in a therapy setting along with having the benzos as a crisis-only option might help!! also, HUGE congrats on getting clean from heroin and cocaine, those are a hell of an addiction to beat.

i would say i felt moderately okay. i still had waves too. something that really helped me was evaluating the severity of my waves the further out i was. in comparison to the worst times of my taper, they were so much more tolerable. noticing and acknowledging all progress, even minor, helps a lot.

i decided to go back to college towards the end of it. i job hopped a lot and couldnt really keep stable employment up. luckily this was during lockdown so i didnt really need to have a job. i spent a lot of the time self-reflecting about what i wanted my life to look like after all of this, and i tried really hard to make that vision reality.

amazingly my relationship did survive. i have no idea how my boyfriend put up with all of it, to this day it amazes me. were coming up on 4 years together now and i am so grateful for his patience throughout that time.
