What percentage have you recovered?

[[...]]

23 months,  95%

[[fi...]]

22 months - 40-50%

[[Sa...]]

Almost 16 months. Hard to gauge the percentage recovered because I don't quite remember how I was prior to benzos. My primary issues are cognitive and memory impairment which is probably why I can't remember how I used to be. If I were to guess I would say 70 to 80%. Definitely better than in the beginning. I could hardly read/write or speak and was completely anti-social due to how poorly my brain could function. Last few months I've begun working out, getting exercise, and hanging with friends again.

[[lo...]]

8 months, 50-60%. Windows are very good when they happen but I still have sensitivities that can interrupt them.

[[Ma...]]

1 year and 80 % but still having waves for few days.

[[So...]]

I am 3 months off now and around 85%, getting about four great days feeling healed and then one crappy day where I am just tired and my stomach hurts. Now if I could just lose all this crappy weight I put on while on benzos I would be the happiest girl in the world!

[[la...]]

14.5 months out and functioning but not great. Still have couch days but shorter and milder. Pain is my main symptom now. Hard to put a number on how I feel.

[[Be...]]

50% @ 16 months off.

[[jx...]]

Before reinstating, I was off Klonopin for 10 months and I was 0% recovered. I didn't have one window. When you take benzodiazepines recreationally like I used to, you don't heal.

[[Ri...]]

8 months out and I would say I am in stage 2 of healing. My waves are usually triggered by stress, sun or certain food. Other then that I am 90 percent most days.

[[Th...]]

Still tapering next 4-7 weeks but already 30% healed by assessing my w/d symptoms quantity and seriousness.

[[Su...]]

I'm almost 7 weeks off, I'm only about 25% healed. At least I'm not getting hallucinations anymore. Bring on the healing I want to be me again

[[Re...]]

Have been at about 10-15 percent for the last 10 days....  Hoping to have an upswing arriving.  I'm supposed to be on vacation with family next week.  Here's to better days.  Chin up everyone!

[[Fe...]]

6 months off, 75-85 % healed. Sleep is still the biggest problem.

[[Gr...]]

6 months off, about 75%-80% healed. I have most of the same symptoms as FemWen above.

[[bl...]]

11.5 months off and 85-90% healed. When in a wave I'm about 70%.

[[sl...]]

4 months: 0%

[[Ne...]]

11 months off. About 75-80% on good days. When I'm in a wave, the crying spells put me in the 25% bracket

Almost 18 months. Right around 90%. My biggest issue is sensitivities. If I don't introduce sensitivities, I feel amazing.

[[sl...]]

this is actually all pretty good.

 

I am at 0% in month 4, were you guys also bad at month 4?

 

I really really start to think mine is not benzo related...

I'm 100% recovered but it took about 16-18 months. I give a range because a few things would crop up during those couple of months. 

 

Where was I at month 4, still very very symptomatic. In fact, new symptoms showed up at 4 months, the worst being the dizzy, boaty feeling which persisted for several months easing off slowly.  You are still early off but it never hurts to get a good check up, I did this many times during withdrawal.

10 months and two weeks xanax free i would say 70%,  in windows 90%

(big improvement at month 6/7)

[[vi...]]

28 days out.

 

20% to 25%

 

Things start to feel worse as reality sets in. First two weeks I was in almost complete zombie mode. As the third week progressed I started to realize just how awful this is and I felt even worse. One day I can walk to the driveway gates the next day I can't.

2 months out and 0%.  very sick and no reduction in symptoms at all
