Long term users in recovery thread (10 years +)

[[os...]]

 

The more I read on this site, the more convinced I am that this is basically a 3 year deal for many for the majority of symptoms to leave and for a TOTAL recovery, maybe 4 or even 5 years (to the point where every last symptom has gone).

 

I can't see the bad anxiety being as severe getting down lower, not after an extremely long taper... I will live in hope anyway, all I want is for it to dial down just a little bit when I make reductions...

 

I may just have to train myself to accept the fear and try and see it as par the course... if I get panic attacks also, well, that's a different thing altogether.

 

Glad to see some recovery happening.

Another long-term user here. This stuff doesn't want to let go, at least not any time soon. My life pretty much revolves around this taper now. Not what I bargained for . . .

 

I can so relate to that underthecovers, the taper is pretty much 95% of my life now. It's kinda depressing at times.

 

How are you doing?

*Bumping as there's not much support for long term users. Hopefully things will pick up on here I myself have been on this drug way over 20 year's and tapering but having a hard time with symptoms .

Hi Nova... i've been on and off benzos for well over 25+ years. I'm also looking for support from others who are in the same boat. This thread doesn't seem to be very active. Sad. Please reach out to me for support! We can help each other.
