[...] Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 April 16, 2021 was the last time I took a benzodiazepine, I had taken xanax, 0.5mg for 5 days and I stopped suddenly. (I had previously taken bromazepam and clonazepam). It's been 2 years, and I admit I'm a little better, but I'm not recovered. I thought that I was going to recover between 6-12 months as Ashton said, but it was not like that. Then I thought between 18-24 months and it wasn't like that either, to be honest I think it will be between 24-36 months. Since I started month 23, I was in a constant wave practically every day. I had a lot of symptoms, from when I first came off bromazepam until now, but now my symptoms are pretty mild-moderate and I can function. current symptoms: insomnia: I sleep between 2-6 hours straight. (it depends if I'm in a wave or not) and usually, I wake up 1 or 2 times and go back to sleep, sometimes 3. scars that do not recover: I think that I do not produce collagen due to my lack of sleep, it is a very rare symptom, but I improve a little. fatigue: it's something very slight, but I don't really want anything. Diarrhea: I was in a wave and they came back, but there were days that I didn't have it. In summary I am better, almost everything is mild, and when there is a wave it becomes moderate, but I can still function GP23 Argentina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ja...] Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 GP congrats on 2 years and thank you for your check in. I was a dual long-time user too. I'm not nearly 'healed' at 17 months off. Seeing progress but in an almost constant wave.... onward and forward we go. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
