Hey

[[OG...]]

For about a year, I was taking 2-3 1mg Klonopin weekly. I never realized that it was a problem because the days I wouldn’t take it, I would be fine. Not realizing that it’s a long acting Benzo and it was never truly out of my system during those days. Withdrawal symptoms didn’t kick in until about 5-6 days after last taking a pill.

 

I’ve been off of them exactly 1 month today and although the withdrawal symptoms aren’t as intense as they were, say, 2 weeks ago or 3 weeks ago, I still can’t function that well.

 

My head feels so clouded and blurry and unable to think critically or focus/concentrate on anything longer than 1 second. Also the main problem I have with all of this is I’m literally unable to feel horny. I have an entire loss in libido and it’s been this way since the withdrawal started and hasn’t subsided even .01%.

 

My question is how long will this feeling of constant cloudedmind/confusion/blurred reality/inabilities to concentrate, think critically, or activate my sex drive last?
