Pasquale's Benzo Recovery Video

[mikefiftynine]

pasquale tell them about the booze you drank - this is a fraud

[theanswer7787]

@mikefiftynine interesting, how do you know this?

[eelpieballox]

if you are not a member anymore,, how can you offer any hope or recovery,, you think your cured ?

[TheVintageGamer]

Any way for an updated video? 

[islandstarblanket]

I have been on 0.5 for 7 years about to go to a one week detox. What is your advice?

[islandstarblanket]

I have been on 0,5 for 7 years about to go to a one week detox. What is your advice?

[1kunoichi1]

Oh me I am so glad that I saw this. It has been 7 months for me now and I am in a HELL that I have never known in my life. I can barely move, my mind is tormented and I cry most of the days. Thank you P.

[wattsrightt]

I also had "everything" when detoxing from long term benzo. I walk/run daily and I watch EVERYTHING I eat. Nice to not have to take pills. Been a year...it gets much better...:))

[CzeciStan1]

I am now literally going through hell as there are no Docs. in Spokane Washington that understand what im going through. I am now have severe abdominal pains seizures and panic attacks.An nightmares that are the worst ive ever had in my 44 years on earth.And the dreams are so real and sometimes even lucid.IDK what i am going to do.I thought once i went back on subutex my life would get better but now with these withdrawls my life is total hell. Opiate whitdrawl is childs play compared to benzos.

[bcbsil12]

@CzeciStan1 Wish we could have told you. Yes, opiate withdrawals are a cakewalk in the park by comparison. Sorry you have to suffer so much, but you can beat it. Many of us did and we suffered horribly.

[404040c]

@bcbsil12 Im so scared how did you get off I know it wasnt cold turkey right please let me know how please! How Long were you on!

[art0neable]

@CzeciStan1 . No its not opiate withdrawal is physical i have no problems getting of iktos and xanax about 1 week per month i am out . I have to take my sub everyday

[rickpapi6999]

i understand what you are going though, u should check out my video, i can probrably help u if u listen to me. u probrably feel like that bec the benzotine if defuse ur body and ur have severe withdraws, watch my video and if it doesnt help email me at rickdamannn@aol.com

[CzeciStan1]

Was takind around 8 to 15 mg xanax a night to sleep. after 6 months of hell without suboxone i finally got back on it and quit the benzos cold. after about a week of just taking subutex i hadnt slept in 5 days was having lucid dreams seizures and halucinations.Ended up in the ICU whit severe rapid heart beat and high blood pressure. was put into drug inmduced coma for 2 days before i was able to have normal hb and bp. they were giving me adavan and colonapin.still didnt know it was benzo wd.

[CzeciStan1]

I was addicted to opiates for 8 years for chronic pain.they stopped working altogether...I finally found a drug called suboxone/subutex that worked great for chronic pain and i didnt gain a tolorance to it and didnt crave opiates. But these pills were costing me $800 a month and after 2 yrs i weaned myself to a half pill a day and thought i was ready to just get off them. All hell broke loose when i did. ie severe pain sleeplesness.started taking benzos for anxiety insomnia.

[bcbsil12]

It can take 2 years or more before you feel like your old self again. Doctors are morons. They ignore the facts. ALL your symptoms are caused by benzos!

Join the following benzo board and they should be happy to give you guidance and support. (Google "Benzo Buddies" and click on the first one that comes up.)

[123keryn]

@bcbsil12 I'm on Benzo Buddies, it's a good forum. :) Benzo withdrawal is a mind jerker. I hope everyone the best coming off these drugs. I know you think you may not be doing the right thing, but coming off and healing, you are choosing life!

[wattsrightt]

@bcbsil12 ..i am heading into my second year. It's doable.Takes time and patience. I am no longer depressed or agitated. I have an excellent memory and have tons of energy BUT it took time. I'm still not 100% but I am a whole lot better so it can  be done.

[mikefiftynine]

@bcbsil12 the owner of benzo buddies gives your personal info out to trolls on the net

[playaeyez17]

[playaeyez17]

Hey everyone/pasquel help pls... I was taken off klonopin & effexor about 7 months ago over 3 weeks, & I had initial withdraw but after 4 months i thought it was gone THEN It's like my brain started to try & turn back on & my whole head muscle.. relax itself!/deflate(?) in different parts i guess.. i've got a bunch of creases all over my head where it's eased up.. & the REAL HORROR STARTED (?) I have had this severe tight head pressure from day 1 of detox

[woody231979]

I am coming up on 13 months off on Feb 23rd 2011. I am still very bad. I could not have typed this in the first 6 months. I was detoxed (cold turkey) from 4 mgs of Klono. Let me tell ya something. You become friends with darkness, despair, evil, terror, confusion, paranoia, and every depressed emotionless thought and feeling known to man and it happends over and over and over like groundhogs day. Not to mention the physical symptoms and pains and fatigue. So much evil and darkness in benzo w/d.

[jpvp2]

thank you so much for making this video, and thank you to all at benzoisland who have been supporting me as i go through this

[Dude2Hot2BStr8]

Jesus Christ you came off in a month! OMG I WOULD HAVE DIED! I came off 3mg a day in 30 days and I was about ready to hurl myself off a bridge. I just curled up in a ball and sat on the couch watching TV for weeks at a time. I could do NOTHING else.

[rastahats]

If anyone needs help and support getting off benzos or going through withdrawal there is a new site/forum called Benzo Exodus.

[rastahats]

There's a good support site/forum for support in benzo withdrawal called Benzo Exodus. They are new and very helpful.

[KozmoJ68]

Not addictive!?!?!?!?! Who was this quack?

[Pent5HT]

im trying to taper of xanax its hell. :( Brings a whole new meaning to withdrawal. Im getting DP And DR to. Mainly DR. And thanks for the video man, really encouraging. Your brain is so messed up you almost start hallucinating sometimes and stuff starts morphing. its terrible! and constant nausea 24/7. Benzo withdrawl is nasty

[ryanwpatterson]

Hey Pasquale,

You're a hero for posting this. I am 10 months off a 3+ year valium/ambien habit and I am suffering intensely. I have withdrawn from from several types of meds, including opiates, and nothing comes close to benzo withdrawal. Hopefully I will be posting my success story soon.

-Ryan

[laurenmid]

Talk to someone who's done both opiates and benzos and gauranteed they will tell you opiate withdrawal was a walk in the park compared to benzo MAKER6450. Pasquale are you still around? I cannot believe you were on 24mg...that would be 12 mg of Clonazepam! I am in withdrawal from two and a half years of 1mg of Clonazepam and it's beyond hell...my head feels like mush...literally. Thank you so much for your success story! I can only hope and pray my recovery will be like yours!

[Muskateering]

Thankyou for this vid. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.

[VeritasTruthEmet]

I'm in the middle of withdrawal from 6 mg alprazolam/xanax after 7 years of use (since i was 17.) Im on 20 mg of diazepam now and im losing it. Thank you for this video, this is so difficult. The video helps.

[woody231979]

I am 6 months off of a 7 year 4 mg/klonopin prescribed addiction. I thought I would be somewhat better by now. My whole body feels like it's breaking down, my brain can't handle even the smallest amount of stress, I took a medical leave from work thinking I would be working by now. I was detoxed and I have been soooooo bad ever since. Some very slooooooooooow progress. I also joined Benzo Island last year. They are GREAT. This is such a long painful process. DO NOT COLD TURKEY MEDS !!

[andy2964]

Really encouraging video man. Im at day 5 and its now causing dp and dr. You would think doctors would reconsider what they are doing by Rx these damn things. I have a lot of the symptoms youre talking about like staring at shit for long periods and feeling like I am going crazy...

[collindacorn]

Everyone thinks opiates are harder to get off of. I went to detox and the people taking Percoset were getting much better. I am still having problems, I've been off for 3 mts almost. Not to mention tolerance withdrawal.

[wiltedrose82]

n

bbbb

[angryjunkie]

Benzodiazepine withdrawal is far worse than opiate wd's and alcohol wd's.

[Muskateering]

@angryjunkie apparently its the worst by far cuz it takes so long. I'm in hell right now. My gabba is all fucked up.

[rastahats]

Thanks for this video

[pdoggadog]

your an inspiration man good work.

[athenabela]

so my question is during the peak of that worst stage when you say that people around you thought you were losing it (when even you yourself thought you were losing it) did you find that many doctors were pushing meds back on you??? or did you actually find some professionals who acknowledged what you were going through...

[athenabela]

You say that at 16months off you were still going to the hospital 8 times a week. What would the doctors tell you during all of those visits???because I find it hard to believe that you made it through all of those weekly visits without at least one doctor telling you to get back on an axyolitics/benzos/anti-psychot­ic/ or anti-depressants.....it´s just like the quick fix for them....i've actually come across some doctors and nurses who don't even acknowledge benzo withdrawal is real.......

[quantumracionalist]

@athenabela ...i ignored all the perscriptions docs gave me..i was incogerant........but i could make sence of the fact that everyone told me it was withdrawals.......i desided to believe the benzos comunity instead ofn the docs..........hope everything is going well with you...peace.

[horsecircle]

Hey nice video.

Just wanted to add something which every health professional I saw failed to tell me: Valium and Propranolol (Inderal) should not be taken together.

So be careful of the Valium crossover method if you are on Inderal, and if you can and are willing taper Inderal first. Inderal and Valium use the same metabolic pathways in the liver, which causes Valium to build to toxic levels.

See Rxlist under Inderal.

[pdoggadog]

@horsecircle hmmm true the doc gave me xanax and inderal once and that fucked me up.

[EyeWonderOne]

wow. i can relate to everything you say. i'm so glad you made this video. when i was on my search as to wheather it was the benzos or not i couldnt find anyone like me. 15 months benzofree! i took xanax for 2 yrs. i detoxed in under 2 weeks. it wasnt over after detox.....but i am 110%! Kick those benzos!! trust me your quality of life will return! :D it is the answer!

[randy109]

My brother in-law was using 4-7 bags of Heroin daily AND taking 5 to 8 Valium daily. He'd had the H addiction for many years and the Benzo problem for a couple of years. How did he quit? Got tossed in a small town jail! They gave him 2 Klonopin a day, 1 in morning, 1 with dinner. That's it! He was "clean" in about 6 weeks when they shipped him out of small county jail to State Prison.

I do NOT recommend using this method to get clean but it does work...

[ccfc500]

@randy109 your brother was extreemly lucky, he dodged a bullet, it does work but only in a small percentage of people, its like playing russian roulette with your life, even if it doesnt kill you it can take years of suffering until you completly recover, heroin is a different story, u can cold turkey that and be fine, benzos r a whole new ball game.

[cozmikgate]

@randy109 He could have died

[randy109]

@cozmikgate- Possibly, but even though w/d from Benzo's are a total nightmare, death is actually quite rare. Kicking H is SO horrible that you can't understand the pain unless you've done it. Benzo's is more psychological than physical. You've really got to "wean down" before kicking either Benzo's or Opiates if you want to succeed. Jail/Prison doesn't give you that option...

[Metsada007]

OK I"m ignorant; can't we just use benzos for all our lives?

[tonypirog]

You develop a tolerance and go into withdrawal until you have to take enough to kill an elephant. Also, they cloud (fog) your mind and sap your initiative and enthusiasm. Not recommended to take them more than 2 weeks.

[bajshuvve1]

This is really interesting

[joyinlife28]

Thanks for sharing your story. im currently on my 5th day of withdraw of xanax. ive been on it for 4yrs. i cant eat or sleep im lightheaded and feeling numb. what scares me is how long it will take me to recover. xanax was good in the beginning. but it took so much away from me. and for the other comment someone posted about xanax that only people that abuse it get addict is so far from the truth it only takes a couple of doses to have withdraw reaction...

[randy95023]

Xanax is a miracle drug if NOT abused! A single Xanax will calm a panic attack and allow you to calm down and even sleep. Great for PTSD. Just NEVER take more than 1 at any single time and NEVER take more than 3 days in a row. If you follow those simple "rules" you will not become dependant, or build an increased tolerance. Please just be careful and do not abuse any Benzo's. They're far more dangerous than most people realize.

Thanks for posting this and sharing your story. God Bless YOU!

[therealCanablisS]

it took me a good year or longer to really notice a diff after getting off rivitril ,, i think u guys in the states call them klonopin andyways clonazepam ,, im also a recovering opiate addict ,... methadone saves lives :)

[Jarocho2003]

Congrats! And thanks for sharing!

[anneamp1]

Thank you so much for posting this, Pasquale! This video is so encouraging because you give others hope that they can make it through withdrawal. I have been trying to withdraw slowly after nearly a decade of Klonopin use. I am not there yet, and the withdrawals are not fun, but i am slowly getting there. Hearing a positive withdrawal story like yours helps to make a big difference.

Thank you.

[pasadena1994]

Everything you are saying is SO TRUE I was addicted to benzo's for 10 years and the withdrawals almost killed me. My brain played so many tricks on me. I really wanted to die. Thank God I no longer am a slave to those pills....

[kathmann]

24mg of Ativan! Good god. Good to hear you've recovered.

[camtcb]

awesome video man. I'm going through a withdrawal myself after 8 years on them. This is by far the hardest thing I've ever done. The symptoms are horrific. God Bless us all.

[crazy7house]

Benzos are very hard to come off of...

People who can just throw it down are very lucky, they don't realize they dodged a bullet.

However, the healing time can vary from person to person, some as little as a month, 7 months, and some a couple of years.

I hope you and others the best.

[Jsmooth7444]

benzowithdrawal (dot) com is a great site for support/help with withdrawal.. Please do NOT cold turkey, its dangerous.

[Loveheals2]

Anyone about to taper or already withdrawing will benefit from reading the new Benzo-Wise book available from Amazon. This is not spam... I just have to let others know. This book is amazing and will help you, your family etc. to cope.

[maxamillion1011]

Thats for telling your story! I am on day 11 of stoping cold turkey..not a good idea.....glad to have watched this video..thanks

[Rawlinson18]

All drugs are shit, I'm having a hell of a time coming off Benzo.

[404040c]

@Rawlinson18 did you get better just thinking of getting clean is scary as fuck!!! makes me cry cause I'm tired of taking this shit!!

[secr69]

in deed lucky i was on benzos for 16 years when i came off them i spent a week thinking i killed my children had i not had someone to calm me down i would o killed myself thats how real and horrifying the withdraws are

[wreckinderivative]

How did you get a >10min video on YouTube??

[zllzzllz]

I was on ativan for 12 years and withdrew over a period of two years-tapering. I was 30 years old when I came off and now I´m 46. I was a lot better two years after coming off and then I really improved. On ativan I had constant mental health problems; depression , anxiety, compulsions. These days I am a healthy successful professional, I have no mental health issues what-so-ever. Recovery is total but takes time. I wish everyone out there who is trying to withdraw good luck and courage.

[BitterrootJournal]

Bless your heart for sharing this. Congrats on your success. You are such an inspiration.

[snoopycool1]

If you have issues with benzodiazepines there is online support. For free online support benzowithdrawal com They helped many.

[unblindswordzman]

Hell times 1 million is benzo w/d from my experience.....if you c/t from high amounts of benzos for a long time it is possibly fatal...peace tony.

[tonypirog]

How you know it was me? LOL

[unblindswordzman]

I remember u from BI

[ccfc500]

exactly my point , you got off lucky, hello?

[MAKER6450]

you should try opiate withdrawles....thats hell

[bcbsil12]

But it's short, quick and over with. Imagine going through that over and over again for several years or more! That's benzo withdrawals! Hell times one hundred.

[akuma4u]

i wonder how many people have died from benzo withdrawal,...

[akuma4u]

easy one to kick? are u serious? do you know how many people will tell you different?

the top 3 to kick are heroin , alcohol and benzos . and you can die from benzo withdrawal if you stop it suddenly after long term heavy use. seizures, heart attacks, etc..

[akuma4u]

yes , yes i have. i quit cold turkey like so many times,. i didnt know that i wasnt suppose to. i ended up in the ER many times and been through hell.

[musik2007]

you are an idiot, getting off benzos is hell and only a moron with an Iq of 2 would make such a stupid post. Benzos are ruining many lives and they cause hell on the body and mind, do yourself a favor and shut your trap.

[musik2007]

38? you are an idiot like i said, this crap has taken 1 year of my life away, get a clue and stop being such a moron. You obviously talk out of your ass when you say that the withdrawls are nothing when it comes to benzos. Ignorant people like you make this world a shitty place.

[MAKER6450]

mate i was just saying iv been through alot worse and i made "my" opinion, benzo withdrawl can be bad but its not that bad. i dont wana fight you man, i just put my opinion on the table and you attack me...and youre not the only one. cant we just be adults?

[ccfc500]

then u got off very lucky m8

[MAKER6450]

no i didnt get off lucky, i just have been through alot worse and benzo withdrawls affect ppl differantly

[drewzian1724]

i started my widrawal programme 1 week ago.. now i can feel the anxiety, panick attacks, but.. its not extreme.. i can still cope.. this video is great.. i know its not imposible to come off this evil drugs.. i regret i took this benzos..

[BullhornGuy]

16 and 17 months??? OMG!! I have been off of 16 mg/day Lorazapam for 5 months and symptoms are still ridiculous. Severe pressure in my head, cant sleep, can't look at the computer for more than 5 mins.

After 5 mos I thought it was something else causing this nightmare. I've had blood tests, 2 brain MRIs, inner ear tests etc...

Man...I don't know if I can make it another year. I'm glad I didn't know how difficult this was or I don't know if would have tried.

[utufreak]

I started on xanax cold turkey'd , went crazy reinstated, switched to klonopin and have been tapering ever since.

In 06 I was 2.5mg a day

now I'm .75mg a day it has been slowgoin for the past year when I started my slow taper.

I still get nasty symptoms and I would rather be hooked to opiates than these shitty drugs.

Big pharma is corrupt.

[3125935951]

I am convinced that with any---but especially benzos, that Heather Ashton has it right---TAPER accordingly---One med at a time to focus on----I am inno way a Dr., but I think we could all agree we ARE the bastards of the health care practice---One thing,...TRY as hard as you can---NOT to introduce another med into your (regiman)...TAPER---John

[3125935951]

ty for sharing---small response, but much appreciation...good luck be with us all...

[JESME]

I am so grateful for your having created and uploaded this video. I hope that you read the comments that are left for you. You have given me a degree of hope. When going through withdrawal, it is hard to firmly and fully believe that "this too shall pass". It was helpful for me to learn that another human being has gone through what I am going through. THANK YOU! Yes, hope you have given to me.

[quantumracionalist]

Hi JESME this isn't my account, i got my account deleted wich was where i first put up this video.....i am glad someone preserved it......i have just read all the comments and am glad i have helped.......you will recover...have no doubt.....peace........Pascual

[dave805a]

thks for sharing with us, this great video. ten days after my detox in december 2004, i started to feel so bad. i was in so much pain, both phsically and mentaly(sever anxiety/panic, major depression, and insomnia). ever since then, i tried all kinds of SSRI medications. however, they didn't help. to this day, i am dealing with my disorders. although better, i still have a struggle, that i have to win. MEANTIME, CAN ANY OF U TELL ME, IF THERE ARE BENZO MEETINGS AROUND PASADENA, CA AREA? THKS

[NJmalibu313]

Thanks for the hope man! Although not the exact same thing, I am going through bad withdrawal from the SSRI Paxil, after being on for 7 years. I hope to make a full recovery one day!

[cirexlab]

waoh, I was 8mg on Xanax for 2 or 3 months, then I cut to 2mg then to 0 but switch to 1mg clonazepam. Im now just .5 and hopefully in one month out of benzos. I admit I have sympthoms of withdrawal but are minimal

I dont know if you believe in God, but Christ help, believe me!!

"Im part of the Body of Christ" 1 Corinthians

"For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

1 Cor 2:14

[styler54]

Thanks for the great video Pasquale. I just came off of .25 mg. of klonopin daily. I got up to 3 mg for a period of about six years. Right now I'm really struggling because it's difficult to work while going through this. I wish that our government made some provision for those of us experiencing this.

[mikeyyy10000]

i was also dependanton alcohol just like you i have been off them for6 monthsthestaff in the hospitalwere ajoke i was experiencingsevere paranoia anxiety delusiocns phsyocsis maniasuicidal idealataionsi didnt sleep for about 18 days hardly ate was vomiting blood man itis the worst thing ever feels like your liviing in a horror movie 24/7ive beenof them for6 months and my joke ofa doctor was like give it a month youl be fine awful mate anyways seriously i would love to get in touch with you tc m8

[mikeyyy10000]

hi mate i think i can relate to you more then anyone i was diagnosed with gad depression and posible bipolar at 15 i was havin hardcore random anxiety symtpoms i was sure it was physical yet the doctors said no and prescribed me these lorazepams and at the time i hbad no idea what they were just like you i trusted them ended up becoming addicted was on em for 4 years taking up to 8mg a day then they made me go cold turkey on em i ended up in a phsye ward for 4 months trying to top myself

[italiaguy25]

Awesome, Pasquale! Feel reassured that your video from the heart will prove to be inspirational for MANY MANY people who are suffering.  NEVER GIVE UP HOPE! God Bless!

[joolspirog]

Also my first point of call was B.A.T or battle against tranquilisers, they can be found on the web with Una Corbett as my angel incarnate. This is for UK only as Una lives in the UK

[joolspirog]

Please check out benzocs dotcom for a list of doctors and therapists that will help with this horrible problem, I have come off succesfully and with help It was not as bad as it can be. Thank you for highlighting this

[jzev]

It's almost impossible to withdraw from a short halflife benzo. I'm on my last .25 mg of clonazepam; that last cut is probably the hardest for me. I get all sorts of symptoms like depersonalisation, fasciculations, GI issues, tachycardia etc. I know if I can survive this, I'll come out stronger on the other side of "this". Good luck to anyone else through this. Just hang in there, and avoid increasing your dose no matter how horrid the symptoms. Don't fall into the trap.

[TheLightningStalker]

Holy crap, I was on 3MG of Ativan and the withdrawal was like a nuclear explosion going off in my head! I'm surprised you didn't go into convulsions and die.

[recoveringklonopin]

Also would like to add Pasquale that your video provides a lot of encouragement.  I know that those that are going through or have gone through this can relate very strongly to a lot of the things you said. The feeling of being able to get through anything and coming out so much stronger U nailed! Did you have any extensive family support? I had a few moments where I came very close to ending the nightmare I had entered into, but I chose to keep hanging onto that thread. Thank God for family.

[recoveringklonopin]

I spent 3 months tapering from 4mg Klonopin down to 0mg. I was mentally okay until I cut the .5mg. I became insane, but the terrifying part was knowing that I had lost my mind and remembering clearly when I was at one time normal. I'm into my 3rd month now and I'm still recovering. I cannot drive yet as my senses and perceptions are still off. To give everyone some hope, I do have "window" periods off an on to where I KNOW I will recover. I'm no longer begging my family for mental support.

[princessvernice]

Just now, 3 weeks off klonopin, I am feeling better, but still not that great,cannot work, can hardly drive.. however this video gives me hope. Thanks!

[princessvernice]

Wow, Thanks for this video. I am now just over three weeks completely off Klonopin.(started 5 weeks ago, going down to half a pill, for two weeks, then nothing). My dr retired, and I saw the new one, and he would not give me a perscription, saying that even 1 mg, at night, is not good. ( started taking them in 1995, 1 mg, 4x a day). I got down to 1 mg at night, about 6 yrs ago. and just stayed with it. I have been in hell these past few weeks. Just now, at 3 weeks off Klonopin.
