How Do You Know If You Are Healing?

[[So...]]

I guess my question is more to try and sooth myself and my worried thoughts because it is so crazy that sometimes I feel amazing and other times I feel really loopy and weak and tired. I was just wondering if there were any sure fire ways to know that your brain is healing from this medication and learning to act like it's supposed to during tapering.

 

I have read a lot about neuroplasticity, the importance of exercise while tapering and after you stop taking klonopin, and also the importance of avoiding alcohol and everything like that but I just want to set myself to be in the best possible position to heal and want to know that there are signs of healing taking place.

I would give this a look.  I found it to be very true for me: http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=156111.0

So what are you doing while tapering? I hate to think Im doing nothing but prolonging the inevitable.

That's how I feel as well, I am tapering and my doctor said that the brain slowly learns how to function with less and less of the medication but there is not need to rush getting off it, obviously you can go too slowly but once you reach .125 just get off of it because that amount is negligible at that point.

 

I think definitely the brain is healing during tapering but I don't think true healing can begin until you are completely off of this stuff honestly. I want kids and knowing that need to be off of it for at least a year before I should start trying to have kids is terrible so I just want to get this crap out of my system so the true healing can begin.

Still not liking that sxs get worse after you r off even if slow tapering. Im honestly wondering if its worth it. You want a baby so I see that, I merely want to sleep through the night again and my pdoc is doubtful that will happen since menopause hit

I'm obviously not a doctor at all but have you looked into NAD therapy or the road back program at all? I have heard great things in this forum about them and am going in for a consultation with one of the pioneers of Neuro Reciver a liquid iv NAD amino acid combo treatment which is supposed to assist with healing your brain and anxiety. It's 13k roughly but I will try anything

I am really skeptical of those programs. Too many people prey off the misery of others.

You can buy amino acids online easy for way less than 13k

Great question! I notice healing in the fact that I can feel some stabilizing between lowering doses as I notice the cycle and pattern my body goes through then recovers and adapts after a cut. Sometimes it's worse before leveling out but for me that's hope. Also, things became much better when I crossed to 20mgs of Valium at 1 mg of K when I just couldn't further my taper bc of how bad off I was.
