sorry for being annoying! only mental?

[[Be...]]

Is there anyone out there who only had mental issues? Really only?

My physical left 3-4 weeks after c/t and i only have mentals.

A benzo doc told me if i was having a long wd i would be having physical too. I am so scared!!

Thanks germangirl.

i'm not saying that your time line will be the same as lidi , but all her physical sxs left first and she was left only with mental until she healed.. read her story.. like i said i'm not saying you'll be that long healing but an example of someone with mental only...

Hi germangirl

 

I am not quite what you want but I have not met another Buddie with my pattern of symptoms

 

3 month taper - no symptoms

6 months - depression only/no physical symptoms

12 months - physical symptoms only/no depression

 

Forget what your doctor says. They don't know a lot about benzo withdrawal and in my case diagnosed ME.

 

Just because your symptoms are atypical does not mean it is not benzo withdrawal.

 

It is bad enough going through this agony without doctors making things worse.

 

Rant, rant, rant, having a bad day.

I really only have mental anguish and depression it's total torture. Makes me want to give up the fight. See no end to the suffering and I'm only 4 months off. Suffering longer than I took meds this time. Really scared I'm going to do something permanent.

I had very very few physical symptoms.  Mine were all mental and sometimes excruciating.  They started to become more manageable by month three.

Just posted a rather lengthy response on the "only mental symptoms" on your other thread, benzomama and germangirl.

I've had the "only mental symptoms" for 30 years and am now coming off the drugs.

Hi Benzomama.

 

The times I've quit and reinstated my symptoms have been mostly mental up to the point of wanting to die, with a few headaches and lethargy as physical symptoms, maybe some blurred vision sometimes, but never anything that noticeable (or maybe I had them but didn't notice them?).

 

I know we shouldn't be prescriptive, but I sort of agree with lookingforward about what a doctor says, because unless they're benzo specialists they seem to know very little about benzos, and even if they are specialists everyone's unique so we can have different symptoms between people. There's no guarantee that person A will get the same symptoms as person B.

 

I hope your symtptoms end as soon as possible as I know it's crappy when our mind is what's affected the most.

I completely agree....even a benzo-wise doctor cannot know everything. But most of all, everyone IS unique! What I went through doesn't mean you will go through anything similar. This is why we recommend not comparing...its a way to possibly get overly upset about something you needn't be upset about. In other words, GG, just because someone else "only had mental symptoms" doesn't mean that what happened to them will happen to you.

You are you, special and unique, and your recovery will be different from other peoples.
