Hello whythis Welcome to benzobuddies

 

I am happy that you found us,  you will receive much help and support here.  I am sorry you’re having a rough time of it.  Withdrawal is awful and symptoms can take quite some time to settle down, they will go eventually.  The Ashton Manual is a very good resource about benzo withdrawal. It also gives you information about the recovery process.

 

I will leave a link to the manual here : Professor Ashtons Manual

 

Congratulations on being benzo free. Please feel free to ask questions, we have many supportive and kind members here who will support you and give sound advice. Feel free to check out the forum and post to any of our dedicated threads.

 

I am unsure if you tapered or stopped abruptly and so I will leave a couple of links!

 

Here is a link to our Post withdrawal recovery support.

 

If you stopped abruptly, then you can connect with others here who are in the same situation: Cold Turkey Detox & Rapid Withdrawal Board

 

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”

 

Welcome aboard It will get better

Hi why this.

 

Did you do a direct taper or cross over?  What kinda support do you have at home right now?  Do you have a dr you go to for support?  Why did you start on benzos and why did you come off?

 

Sorry for so many questions just wanting to know some background so maybe we or I can offer support.

Just to let you know. You will get better. I went to the ER twice in one week for the same reasons . My anxiety was so severe I thought I was going to go mad. My doctor prescribed hydroxyzine which helped me get to a better place.

 

5 months later I am still tapering , but feeling much better. That hell will pass. It is not permanent and the fear is from the drugs.
