Hi, neuropathic pain and twitching

[[GH...]]

I am 15 months off and have twitching and weakness. It seems that it will never end. I was a lot worse 6 months ago, so i guess it is getting better. The improvements are very slow, so slow, impossibly slow, did I say slow?

 

I also had severe anxiety for several months.

Watery diarrhea for 6 months.

So can I say most of the remaining sxs are physical as opposed to mental???

[[re...]]

Mine are mental and physical.

 

Obsessive thoughts about death. (24/7) and tingling, burning, spine pain, bone pain, back of head pain, burning tongue, ringing ears etc. etc etc... every day. NO breaks from the body stuff.  NO break from the thoughts for 4 or 5 months. It is exhausting.

6 months off of Klonopin here.  Moderate to severe Tinnitus, burning scalloped tongue, loss of taste, constant irritated nose and throat, excessive mucous and saliva.  Floaters and clumps of floaters in left eye.  Random muscle twitches.  Intermittent lower back/buttock  pain radiating down right leg, pain in arch of right foot.  Obsessive thoughts of death.

Will be a year out in one week.  Both physical and mental symptoms. 

 

Mental are most bothersome at this point- include no self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, absolutely no sex drive, occasional bouts of anxiety and depression, and just a general hollowed-out feeling of self.  I can't wrap my brain around the difference between who I was when I was on the drugs and who I am now.  It's unbelievable- like two different people.  I feel like the remaining shell of my old self.  Very defeated feeling.  At the same time, I feel lucky to be alive and happy to have any feelings at all, as when I was on the drugs I felt practically nothing.  Because of this sort of psychopathic sense of feeling nothing, I now feel like I was an actor in a play all these years.. and like I betrayed myself.  I didn't grow up.  I was on the drugs from age 19-28 so now here I am almost 30 and feeling like I haven't had the experience of my 20s to grow and learn about who I really am.  So confused, angry, and sad about it all.

 

Physical symptoms include a big wave every six months.  With the wave, I lose my appetite completely- can eat only oranges for about a week, have horrible tremors at night that last for an hour or more at a time, nausea, panic attacks, hot flashes, temporary weight loss.  The wave is followed by a rebound in my appetite which has caused me ultimately to gain weight.  IBS symptoms- constipation vs diarrhea... what'll it be today?  Who knows.  I also have come down with Rosacea (red rashy skin on face neck and chest.)  The Metrocream is helping a bit finally after 3 months of use.  I also came down with a uterine polyp the same month I got off benzos last March.  The polyp occurred due to a hormonal imbalance, which I believe occurred due to withdrawal.  So now I will most likely need surgery if the polyp doesn't go away on it's own.  Yes, I blame the benzos for this, even though there is no "scientific evidence" that they are to blame.  I just feel it was all too synchronized to be a coincidence.

  Mine are achey loose joints in the fingers, knees, toes. Calves that undulate 24/7 and very tight muscles, back pain, mild anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, weight loss ( from 196 down to 159 ) and I eat 5 meals a day....etc. Maybe some day we will finally be able to put an end to this torture once and for all.
