[ea...] Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 kachina, please do not go back onto a benzo! My personal opinion is that would be the absolute worst thing you could do. You might gain some very temporary relief, but after that, things will just get much worse. In u7 years on BB I have seen this happen over and over. Someone feel defeated by benzo wd and reinstates, only to find they now feel even WORSE. Please do NOT choose this route, as it will only backfire on you big time. You have friends here on BB and I am one of them. Please do not do this, sweetheart. You are so worth saving. I know that you, like me, suffer still from childhood hurts. There is NO drug that can heal that stuff. Allowing drugs to rule your life is a huge error. We who have been abused as a child have to deal with this is a sane and careful sort of way. The hurts we endured are deep and severe. No pill will ever make this feel better, only WE can, by facing it without drugs. Love you, Kachina. I am on your side. east (Annie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[jo...] Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I agree don’t do it. I went from 2mg of clonazapam to .5 over the course of 18 months very mild symptoms worst being insomnia at the time then my nieces 7.5 month old baby died and I got very upset and updosed all the way back to 2mg for a period of 2 weeks only. Not wanting a longer taper i went from 2 mg to .25 in 53 days and jumped. It will be 6 months off on aug 16 and I burn like the worst sunburn in my life from head to toe can’t even wear jeans. Worst mistake in my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ea...] Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 kachina, I am SO sorry. I know you did what you felt you had to do. When you really ARE ready to get off benzos, let us know. Something that I had to learn was that taking pills for anxiety was a huge error, because benzos actually CAUSE anxiety if you take them for more than maybe a couple months. I will never take a pill for anxiety or depression again. I wish you only the best, kachina. Please stay in touch with us. east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
