Hello, new member who wanted to introduce themselves

I'm currently going through withdrawals after 3 months of klonopin use and going cold turkey. Just looking for comfort and answers as to how long I'll be facing this hellish nightmare! Thank you all

Hello, P1ckleRick - welcome to BenzoBuddies, and congratulations on being benzo-free!

 

Comfort and answers are on the way! Cold turkey is pretty rough, but since your use was of relatively short term duration, your nightmare may fade sooner. As hellish as they are, the symptoms do ease up over time, so it becomes a matter of managing them while the healing takes place. 

 

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.

When you have a chance, I recommend that you take a look at The Ashton Manual, which is an authoritative resource on what to expect during withdrawal and recovery. 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.
