Recommended Posts

i took clonazepam and alprazolam (i m from argentina so i don t know the names) almost 4 mg for almost 7 months during 2015 finished my taper  september 2015....i have done a lot of work involving all aspects (therapy, sports, eating, herbal suplements, bee venom therapy, chinese medicine, going to the sauna, playing soccer, etc) i m a lot better than a year ago...i mean A LOT

but still NOT ENOUGH i think my recovery will be very long unfortunately. just looking for support it s easy to lose faithj and patience

 

i took other pills before benzos so i cannot isolate 100% the "benzo factor"

 

i had about 35/40 wd symptoms

 

now i have about 10 , but they are the hardest

 

the most dificult thing is paresthesia a feeling of having like a glue mask on m,i face or someone touching me in the face, liquid or water in my ears

 

others are  burning feet..and the most disficult: TINNITUS

 

i hace learned some tips for tinnitus (sports, shouting) but still not enough

 

hope getting better soon

 

i would like to get some support and feel o.k soon

 

thank you

Hello, lizard king  :) - welcome to BenzoBuddies, and congratulations on being benzo-free!

 

So sorry you are still having symptoms, but that's common even after a year or more off. I still have burning feet too, and I'll sure be glad when that eases up. Meanwhile, you've come to the right place to finish your recovery!  :thumbsup:

 

I'm so glad you decided to join the forum - you'll find plenty of information and support here. Our members have gone through all aspects of benzodiazepine use and withdrawal, so you'll be able to connect with others who understand what you're going through and can tell you what has worked for them.

 

Please feel free to post to any of the specialized boards, which can all be accessed from the BenzoBuddies Community Forum homepage. Based on the information provided in your introduction, the following link may be a good starting place for you.

 

  Post-withdrawal Recovery Support

 

When you have a chance, we highly recommend that you take a look at The Ashton Manual, which is an authoritative source on what to expect during withdrawal and recovery, authored by Dr Heather Ashton, who is an expert in the field. It provides a great deal of information that can be very reassuring during any stage of this process, including a list of common symptoms with helpful explanations.

 

Please take the time to Create a Signature. This will allow members to see where you are in the process, so that they can better support you.

It sure feels that way, but things really do improve over time - sometimes more slowly than we hope, but sometimes surprisingly quickly.  :thumbsup:
