Stomach and other problems post taper

[[Oc...]]

Hello,

 

I am here on BB to get help.

 

I was on Clonazepam and a benzo like sleeping med along with other psych meds.  I was put on the psych meds because I had terrible stomach pain and couldn't take it anymore.  I went to the hospital and they put me on the psych ward.  While on the psych ward the doctors were switching meds all over the place and then I was put on a cocktail and started to be wiened off the dilaudid (pain medication) since the original pain in my stomach was diagnosed as "in my head".

 

I have completed my taper from all 4 psych meds as of June 15, which I started in early May with the a clonazepam cut.  I was on 2mg of clonazepam and 3 other pysch meds.  I was cut down from dilaudid from Jan to May.

 

I am here because the original abodomen problems are back and I am scared.  I don't know if it is the original problem that caused me to be housebound for over 10 years from the pain and on pain meds or it is the withdrawal from the psych meds and I need to give it time.

 

I also have other benzo withdrawal signs and am hoping that it is just the benzo withdrawal but the pain is really starting to come back just as strong as before. 

 

Please help.

Tsk

I am new here too (joined today).  I'm no medical professional, but I know physical pain/agony is never in one's head.  You have my sincere sympathy, empathy, and best wishes.

Google benzo belly. I read about it on Dr. Jennifer Leigh's site. I hope you feel better.
