I want off so bad:(

[[An...]]

I want off these drugs so bad!  All I can think about everyday is how a year ago I was happy, independent, loving life.  In October it hit me and my life is filled with terror, no hope and feeling less than capable at life.  Every time I have to dose I cringe.  I ended up taking too big of a cut trying to get off sooner and now I am paying for it.  Does life ever get back to normal?  I want to look at my kids again and be energetic to take them to the pool or park....or anything.  I feel like a failing mother and wife.  This clonazepam is worsening my depression  and I WANT OFF!  How do others cope with daily life?

Most people get off the drug and heal and when I say most it's only a small percentage that don't.

If you read the archives you will see people struggling badly and gradually get better and just dissápear from the radar, you just have to go through it. Taper down and off and heal up.

I wish there was something I could do to make this process easier for you but, unfortunately, it just takes time. Though you feel like you can't take one more second it, please try to look forward. The only way I could deal with tapering was too push through each day and hope for a better future. There's so many of us who've successfully got off benzos and are healing properly.

 

Try not to be so hard on yourself. You're going through a very trying time, and it's okay to give yourself some attention too. You're only one person, and you can only do so much.

Annie,

 

I'm not sure I'm reading your sig correctly (May 2011 to Feb 2011?), but it seems like you've reduced QUITE a bit from 3mg. That's a huge achievement and I can only wish that I'd gotten that far by now. Looks like you're doing great!
