Need reassurane that we heal

[[pe...]]

I am 11 months and 1 week off of clonazepam and 5 months ane 1 week of of zopiclone.  I am having an awful time with physical symptoms (tightness and numbness in scalp and face, tightness in upper abdomen, burning in chest, cold lower legs and feet, tingling in hands)  as well as BAD anxiety and depression.  Can anyone reassure me that we still heal after this long.  Has anyone else gone through this and healed.

Thanks  Any reassurance would be great  I am having a very hard time right now.

{{{{{{{{Pegasus}}}}}}}}  Come here you, you need a great big hug.  Yes we heal.  Some faster than others.  Some easier than others.  My benzo saga is different than yours, and we are all different,  but I AM healing.  I am much better although I still have fearsome waves regularly where all the symptoms come back with a vengeance.  On the other hand I do have windows where I feel great and am full of hope.  Those windows seem to be lasting longer and longer.  I'm sure some longer timers than me will jump in with reassurances.  Just know that we understand what you are going through and you are not alone.  Sending positive vibes for healing and peace.

Pegasus,

 

I am a little over 12 months off, and having physical symptoms, too.  I noticed the tightness in my  abdomen a few months ago, burning in chest and now my stomach, IBS, spasms.... anxiety and depression that comes and goes.  For about a month the tightness and burning, buzzing, pain in my head, neck, and shoulder has been better. I feel the burning, tingling in my arms, hands, feet, legs...at times....and feel like I am shaking or trembling inside.  I don't feel very comfortable...but one thing I have noticed this week is feeling clearer in my head...which is nice.

 

Just wanted to let you know that you are not alone....and any reassurance would be nice to hear.

Thank you MiniMinnie    ((((((((Hugs to you)))))))    I hope your recovery is moving along.  It is just so discouraging that I still feel so bad still.  I will hang on to the hope in healing.

Thank you Sunny girl.  I hope that you will see many improvements in the near future.  I have not had much in the way of windows and then only partial and for one day or so and then back into hell.  My dear husband, who is my rock, is getting tired of constantly reassuring me.  I'm afraid that I just can't convince myself that I will really heal from this.  It seems to be going on so long.  I did notice that after I stopped the zopiclone that things got worse so maybe it is caused by that.  This is very discouraging and really need alot of reassurance right now.  Is there anyone who had experienced this and healed.
