Finally a place to vent :)

My reason for joining BenzoBuddies is because I need a place to get support. I was taking Klonopin 1 mg per day for 14 yrs. and ambien for about 4 yrs. I finished tapering from ambien in April 2014 and klonopin in July 2014.  I also just finished tapering from effexor xr. Withdrawal has been a living nightmare!

Hi Silverlining

 

Welcome to Benzobuddies

 

You will get plenty of support here, Congratulations on being benzo free, and well done getting off Ambien.  I am so sorry your experiencing withdrawal symptoms, they are temporary but it does take some time for the CNS to recover. I will put a link to the Ashton manual here for you: Professor Ashtons Manual It is an authoritative resource on benzodiazepines and withdrawals

 

We have a wonderful community of people here, our embers have been through all aspects of benzodiazepine use and withdrawal and are more than willing to share their experiences.  Please feel free to post to any of the dedicated boards.

 

Here is link to the Post withdrawal support Post withdrawal recovery support board

 

Take a look at the success stories, it will get better with time. Success Stories

 

If you would be so kind as to add a signature (history of meds/doses etc) it will help members give you relevant advice this link will show you how to Create a signature

 

Please let us know If you have any questions.

 

Welcome Aboard

Welcome  Congrats on your tapers. Very well done! you should be really proud of yourself. Withdrawal symptoms can be pretty awful, but the good thing is they are only temporary. I went though a horrific withdrawal one year ago and now I am 100 percent healed. There will be a time when this is all behind you. Let us know how we can help.
