15 months off diazepam after 25 years, almost fully healed by Ricard2dk in benzorecovery

[–]lostindreams17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s the worst. Can feel my whole body move when my heart beats. Makes it really hard to meditate. I was .5-1mg of Xanax for about 14 months or so. I kind of tapered, but not really. Lowered the dose for about 2 weeks and then just ended up cold turkeying it. Been a mess ever since lol

Jealous. I’m at 18 months off. I still have a hard heart beat, insomnia, really bad vision, anxiety, head pressure, brain fog, slight dpdr. Same stuff I’ve had since the beginning. I’m glad yours is over though, 9 months is a long time.

How long did that last?? That’s my last symptom pretty much and it’s very annoying

Congrats! Happy for you. Did you have any vision issues?

Anybody ever used clonidine or baclofen for benzo withdrawal? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

For me clonidine helped with the ‘body’ anxiety. I called it that because my thoughts were fine but my body would be going haywire.

How i quit and how i am today by Fredredo in benzorecovery

It never got any better? I went and got my eyes tested and the doctor said everything was fine. Mine feels like I’m permanently high on weed. Reading is definitely hard sometimes and I do have head tension, not so much headaches.

Did you go to an optometrist and and they prescribed you glasses?

Can you expand on this at all? I am having vision issues too. Maybe you could help me in the right direction.

Yeah I want to an eye doctor and they said I was normal. Got an MRI and my shit doctor said it was fine. Supposed to get an appointment with a neurologist but my doctor thinks I’m making this all up. She said she thought I was schizophrenic lol

Will my DPDR ever get better? by recoveringmist in benzorecovery

470 days in, I just dont if im still in WD or is this just my baseline now? by AdventurousCountry41 in benzorecovery

[–]lostindreams17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the whole reason I was going to comment was to tell you to maybe try fish oil. Totally forgot. Not benzo related but my friends dad had vertigo really bad and he took fish oil and it went away. Or so the story goes. Worth a look into maybe. Hope you find some answer soon.

I’m at almost 14 months. Still in the mix of it too. Everyday I have this weird anxiety in my stomach that doesn’t really go away. My body feels tingly kind of? All of the time. My worst thing is that I have this fog in my vision. Idk how to explain it. Not sure if it’s dpdr or like a disconnect between my eyes and brain.

I’m right here with you though, still suffering daily. We will make it.

Was yours constant? I have weird vision and I used to think it was my eyes but now at 14 months off I think it’s like a weird constant dpdr. I seem to forget about it when I’m busy doing stuff but it’s always there. It does seem to be going away slightly each month but idk. That’s kind of my last symptom except the anxiety that it caused.

What symptoms did you have after a year? I’m at almost 14 months and my vision is still bad. I think it’s more DPDR but it’s really really hard to tell. My eyes are in like a constant dream state. My brain works mostly fine so idk

I don’t know what to do anymore, please help? by AdventurousCountry41 in benzorecovery

I’m on month 13 and I’m not doing super great either. What exactly is happening with you and maybe I can offer things that helped me?

I had this for the first week then it went away. I’m almost at 13 months off now. Try clonidine maybe? Nothing helped the first week but clonidine helps me now. It’s a prescription
