Oh God. Dr suggested reinstating "At some point". Help :(

[[do...]]

:'(

 

I'm 7 months out and really struggling with exhaustion, weakness, neuro pain, panic and cognitive issues. My first 5 months were spent in spine, brain and stomach pain but overall it's lessened a bit. Over the last two months, though, my anxiety has ramped up a lot too.

 

I asked my doctor how it's possible that I'm this sick and he said that since I was put on this med (klonopin) at 15 and my brain wasn't developed yet, I may benefit from a small dose reinstatement.

 

This is the last thing I needed to hear... It kind of sucked any hope I had left right out of my body.

 

What do I do??

 

Feeling empty and hopeless.

Hang in there hun! 7 months was rough for me too. I was bedridden 98% of the time from taking my last crumb.....I turned a huge corner at 8 months no longer bedridden most of the time now, 25%.

It will get better, even though it doesn't feel like it right now. It very well WILL get better!!

 

 

Please stay strong!!

If I were in your position I would never go back to that doctor ever again! RUN AWAY! This moron wants to put you back on the same medication that has put you through hell for the last 7 months? This further shows the ignorance and lack of knowledge about getting and staying off of these drugs. Try going to 3 or 4 different doctors that only specialize in addiction/dependency. One of them is bound to be smart enough to help you without the use of benzos.

Drugs are never the answer, you will eventually hit tolerance and have to get off.  Don't throw away 7 months of healing. Stay the course!

Thanks Buddies 

 

I would never reinstate, especially this early. I know I still have a hell of a journey ahead as I was put on these drugs so young and for so long.

 

The Dr's advice just came out of left field and shocked me when I was already having a rough day. I'm still lost as to why it was even brought up. I'll seek a second opinion if this advice continues.

 

@Blessed41 - Thank you for the reassurance. It helped to know that you were bed-ridden all the time at 7 months out too. It' so hard to believe but true nonetheless...

Im glad you dont take his advice seriously. You should ask him for scientific evidence for his statement. I wonder how he came to this ridiculous thought. No one lacks benzo's as a medical problem. If this doctor reasons like this on his own he should not be alowed to be a doctor.

 

As a doctor is of no use at all during withdrawal cause they  cant undo the damage they've done and there is no help or cure, I would stay away as far as I could.

Find a new doctor.  Coming off a second time is far worse than the first.
