Part 3 Benzo Withdrawal Welcome To Hell

[OktoberStudioz]

Thas fucked up bro, I suffer from anxiety and we share a lot of the same symptoms, Im thinking about taking xanax every other day before bed, when I get very anxious...

[Elfavzla]

withdrawal is EVIL! Ive gone through paxil withdrawal twice, it's like dying... but only! to be born again!

[Idontknowwhat2type]

Benzo addiction is hell on earth. I really hope for the best man. It's scary shit as you probably know. But it gets better you just need to keep fighting.

[Azreal93]

For the heart rate problem you should try a drug called Atenalol, it is a beta-blocker and will slow your heart beat----as for as everything else I have heard..I'v been there..in 1981 a doctor decided to treat my anxiety and panic with a daily dose of 8mg of Xanax! And then pulls the carpet out from under my feat by cutting me off after 6 months....from that point on I wished that I was in Hell 'cause there is no way it could be as bad as the withdrawals i went through!

[macrent2]

Excuse me? But where the fuck were you finding such terrible doctors?

[JohnGotti604]

sorry to hear that man were are u from? if u were from my area i would found you a doctor that would of helped you in 24hours in time ive bin in your situation they put me on valium to withdrawal is was hell even tho i had the valium is still wasnt enough to get threw the sick days and i barely ate and felt as if i was going go into a seizure

[RosesBlue445]

Been to alot of doc's myself NONE of them listen to us! They put us on this shit then decide time to go off they dont realize wtf happens to you while ur body goes into seizures,the sickness and the whips, lightheaded ect. Then they get pissed cuz ur always considered to bitch or tell them whats happening to u. I cried constantly NONE would help me!To this day I'm paranoid scared ect. they say anxiety no shit! I know the difrrence now i'm more screwed up now then what i was!! I FEEL FOR YOU!!!

[herbprophet]

I have noticed creepy shit done by doctors when i was in the hospital one placed a fentanyl patch on me while being on all kinds of other stuff like oxy, from a broken femur...it almost killed me.

[BlackLabelSlushie]

My brother is a doctor and he is fanatically aware of benzo withdrawal. In fact, he flat out refuses to prescribe them regardless of the condition. The only exception is severe alcohol withdrawal (which I'm sure you know can lead to DTs and be fatal). There he will prescribe a one week dose IN a clinical in-patient program. He says benzos are the worst possible drug in terms of long term withdrawal, bar none. NEVER take them.

[5handshigh]

Man every doctor who dealt with you was so ignorant, thats disgraceful. I am so sorry. Been through it too. Strength to you friend

[daime1]

dude, i was on 40 mgs a day for almost 8 years of Valium for a severe chronic anixiety disorder (i have SSDI because of it) and was forced to nothing because i was placed in orange County jail for 27 days and they do NOT prescribe benzos. it was the MOST HORRIBLE experience i have EVER felt in my life. they gave me a small dose of syrax, to prevent seizures and that didnt help at all because i wound up having a very severe seizure right in from of the medical staff from the withdrawal.continued^

[MamaTea54]

I'm here with you. Trying to detox from 8 years of Klonapan and Xanax. Was placed into a detox facility when I became sucidial and they cold turkey me for a week. Since then, not taking Klonapan but taking Xanax. Currently feeling symptoms of gallstones, but negative.

[googuse]

I woulda walked out the door the second "jesus" came out of her mouth.

[dancingjennify]

I'm so sorrry to hear of your woes. That attitude of making you feel worse when you already submitted and asked for help is absurd--that's crazy. I'm glad you pulled out of it. Now you know you can do anything!

[dancingjennify]

[frikkers]

My friend, you need to see a natural herbalist. I have never been through what you have, but I have a family member who has been through something with similar prescription drugs.

[mayito714]

dude you seem to be an inorganic chemistry expert. Kinda suspicious...

[tweetysweety1966]

this is horrific my doctor keeps giving me scripts for lorezapam and wants me to take them every 4 hours 1 to 2 tablets.....uhg thank god i didnt take them

[CorneliusFractogram]

@tweetysweety1966

You're smart, don't take them. DON'T. Don't ever touch that shit unless you're in a full-blown psychosis or need acute aid in sleeping after days of sleep deprivation. After that, get a prescription for more sophisticated drugs more specific in their mechanisms of action. Handing this crap out to people like candy is more irresponsible than selling meth to kids, and I promote neither.

[mrfadedjeans]

im not done watching this so it better end on him finding what was wrong.

[youtoobe135]

I'm literally sitting here watching these videos almost crying, waiting for a doctor who isn't a complete idiot to help you in your story, I don't understand how this happened when it's so difficult to get into medical school these days.

[sallymaggiespotty]

These damn drugs are HELL.Fuck them and the fuckers who prescribe this shit.Been there and done that.

[sallymaggiespotty]

I can relate totally to this man's story.My Dr. put me on Efexxor and left me on it for 4 YEARS.I decided to stop the drug "cold-Turkey" and I believed there would be no withdrawal problems.Instead my life at that point became a living HELL.After only 2 weeks I could no longer stand these Hellish effects and was forced to see my Dr.At that point I was told I should not have stopped the drug suddenly and was put on Zoloft, which I have finally discontinued.DAMN these drugs.

[wolfdale00]

Damn....the cardiologist should have just prescribed inderal.

[GanjaEclectus]

So why are these drugs legal?

[clockfool]

:( this makes me sad

[GirlInterupted28]

lol, "look at him, he's so cute and anxious, he just needs pills"....makes me want to cry sometimes at the ignorance about anxiety and agoraphobia...they just don't get it, maybe they don't care but I don't know.

I used to drink a lot, just to numb myself, I'm on two kinds of pills, alepam twice a day and zopliclone to sleep at night, I won't touch antidepressants because I have never gotten any help from them, just a lot of negative effects from them.

[laylaaleksandar]

do you think you could email me at tillynboo@aol.com I literally feel as if my life is in the balance.........there is nobody whom understands this pain

[Bennett46220]

I totally hear you!......wish you would email me @ Corduroy76_bpw@yahoo.com

would like to chat.......thanks

[rahayden2009]

dude, wow. I cant believe how your still here. You went through this experience by yourself, which made you a true worrier, and you've scene first hand how most people don't know anything. 

[kylegatorfan89]

Are you doing ok man? I love your videos... make more.

[the7thwreck]

The not eating is horrible, you feel empty all the time but CANNOT eat! The weight falls off, I think I went two weeks cold turkey benzo withdrawal at a tax dodging detox clinic and lost 3 stone or something stupid. It resorted to me being forced spoon fed by the clinic 'owner'. But by then I was so ill she put be back on my original dose of benzos! and just concentrated on my other addictions which withdrawals wouldnt kill me.

[angelinajoanie]

the therapist said accept her lord and savior jesus christ? isn't that illegal?

[judgerofwars]

MY WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS LASTED FOR 6 MONTHS. I WAS ON ATIVAN. AFTER THE SIX MONTHS I COULDNT READ OR EAT ON MY OWN. MY SISTER WOULD HELP ME. . 

[Bravesfan4500]

@judgerofwars how long were you on ativan?

[junior1984able]

i tend to goout alot at night too, is there something behind that

[supercoon100]

My Doctor cut me of Klonopin on March 3,2011 . i can't sleep im sweating all the time i don't wont to go anywhere,I was on 2Mg 3 times a day,I have allready lost over 15 lbs,im a total wreck,i never felt this bad in my life.Fuck the Docs and the big Pharma co.

[RoberTastic]

@supercoon100 how are you now? I've been intermittently on Klonopin + beta blocker for about 2 months for sleep anxiety.. well monday i woke up to feel fatigued and so i quit using it (.5mg) and the symptoms seemed to subside, but today i woke up and have jolts in my arms all day and shortness of breath.. Already have had a heart workover and nothing was found, so i'm sure it's this klonopin with the 35 hour halflife.. never taking that crap again

[STRATCAT101]

@supercoon100 too many doctors don't have a clue what they are doing.They just give you another script of 100 10mg valium plus xanax,just to shut you up about what your real problem is.I was given these drugs for panic attacks also for insomnia.

[stereomarlowe]

therapist praying for you..... man, I'm tapering - if my therapist told me that I'd snap.

[1werall]

omg man i hope your better....this so sad!

[chris31768]

legal drugs are the worst

[ANT1714]

yoooo bro i got something i want to ask you my names anthony 330-503-9967 call or text me soon as u can thanks

[Krebcakes]

Thank you for this.

[centerpocket]

the sweats, loss of attention and 50 lbs loss of weight scared me out of my mind. ive been on sleeping medication for ten years and got sick when i started tapering off about two weeks ago...

im still going through it, i hate the drugs. i wish i had never started. i was on ambien and zopiclone.

i was on ten times the dose daily..

most people who start never get off until it gets bad..

[HurricaneSondra]

thanks for the posts, i took imipramine for about two to three LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG months at the age of fifteen, and it did a lot of the same shit that this paxil you say is doing to you. i'd throw up, i couldn't eat! nothing would stay down! i'd be full ALL the time even if i didn't even eat anything! it was pure hell.

[zep4life]

00:20 is the thesis of this entire thing.

[stubbs4434]

You are a straight boss for posting these vidz

[Trutzblatt]

.....the medical practitioners were all pleying it down, cause that is what they are taught by guess who.....the pharma companies!!! The more are addicted to their product.....well, you know the rest!!!!

[ahyeaman]

@ 1:00, your tough. mentally, if it matters, i think ur very wise and heroic, ive never been on benzo's.

[fredguy2]

man I've been going through most of your hell since november 2009. I hope your better now.

[Necrotic89]

Wow... I'm really glad you remained as strong as you did, instead of killing yourself. You suffered for way too long, and I'm truly glad you're beginning to feel better. This video is over a year old now, so I'm hoping you're fully recovered. I'll look at your more recent videos as soon as I watch part 4 to see how you're doing now days.

[maneatingtoilets]

A lot of doctors are only able to repeat information they've been taught, unwilling and unable to accept any other possibilities. It's a shame, because the way the education system works, its these type of people that are able to perform well under the "listen and repeat" structure of the education system and so a large amount of these people manage to get into health. They seem to be intellegent, and they are. However they are lacking in free thinking, restrained by imaginary boundaries..imo

[Gixter1000]

I am on day 14 of Ativan withdrawal 1-2mg a day as well as Temazepam 30mg at night. I am starting to have good days and able to start driving again. The first week was pure hell. I will never take benzo's again except in the hospital. Why they are givin out like candy by doctors is beyond me. Doctors are just as bad a drug dealers. I could not imagine someone withdrawing from a large amount of benzos. Good luck and leave the benzo's alone.

[the7thwreck]

benzo withdrawal can take up to two years....Ive only ever lasted a few days! I couldnt imagine what it would be like....well ive come off heroin and methadone cold turkey and that was bad enough...lol im addicted to everything.

[Nitrousx]

"Doctor's don't know, or they're denying."

Exactly, this is what scares me too. Some doctor's actually get commissioned on what drugs they prescribe.

[mettabee]

@Nitrousx also handing out pills is a quick easy fix, you're in and out of the office in 5 minutes and all they have to do is write an Rx.

[shelliebill]

"I longed to be my old anxious self."

I know. Thank you for posting these videos. It is malpractice what they did to you.

[mandtconstruct]

Brother let me tell you as you said DOSE DOES NOT MATTER!! .25 MG or 10 MG!! No difference!

[404040c]

unless you go through it people will never understand nobody knows how it feels i exercise so that should help

[HerrSpieldose]

ssris are the worst, I was drugged as a kid so I got into the cheeking and shutting my mouth but I hated the Lithium and speed and SSRI's but benzos were okay to me because they made me happy... Dex and Ritalin made me goal oriented and SSRI's made me nuts but benzos were great to me...

I am in school to be a drug counselor and have been there done that but I think the drugs that are pushed on ppl are the problem and the psychologist playing and pimping this BS is sad. Benzos were the worst.

[lamiac2411]

I understand you situation my friend, as I went through something very similar. I know u have probably heard this a million time but Exercise!! I promise you bro I read to exercise like a million times when I was sick and in WD but I was like fuck that I can barely move much less run. One day I decided I need to feel better and i Started a workout routine. 3 days a week slowly working my way up to 1 hour each day of goin out and running. After only 1 week my depression began 2 lift! IT WORKS

[dpalmacci]

what part of the country do you live in so I know to avoid the stupid dumb doctors in that area.....

[mikesc281]

This part was hell for me aswell. I would go into ER's asking for more benzos. The doctors dont understand. They'll tell you your not letting the medicine work. I was actually sent to a state hospital after telling the ER people if i had to tell them i was going to kill my self in the fuckin ER to get help then ok im going to kill myself. Detox was basically the state hospital pumping me full of other drugs. Same story, you sound like me.

[llailapooh]

wow, your experience with "healthcare professional" is awful!!!! they all wanna put you on pills...and the doctors get upset when you tell them about YOUR BODY!!! Thats why I say to HELL with them this is my body and I have to walk around in it! These doctors only care about MONEY, they dont care about helping you get better or saving a life...its about money...Stay strong and keep being persistent about your well being! Thanks for sharing

[angusonfire14]

i respect you so much for being strong enough to get off of benzos. My mom is detoxing from years of high doses right now and im only seventeen and im having to take care of her and its really wearing down on me. shes going through psychosis and delusional states of mind talking about how her dad is here. hes been dead for ten years. i am trying to be patient because i know shes going through hell. i need some words of encouragement badly. i dont know how much longer i can take this.

[Flerg3]

there is no scientific evidence to back up the chemical imbalance

[VeritasTruthEmet]

ive gone down from 6 mg alprazolam for 6 years to 25mg of diazepam right now. i feel like im going to die, im toally in this alone. i cant take it. i need help.

[JoshSitar]

@VeritasTruthEmet That's far too fast a taper and too small an amount that you're on right now. Please look into getting onto a proper tapering program. You can get through it, just make sure you get help for it; it's very hard to do this stuff by yourself. Call as many places as you can to get the info and help you need. Some people will be full of shit, but there are people out there that know the proper way to help you.

[alienwarelaptop100]

@VeritasTruthEmet Your not alone, if you need someone to talk message me.



[snow6768]

Cheers 4 sharing man, I'm glad someone else saw thru the docs as well..I'm still getting heaps from them. Cheers tho man!!

[RownyV]

I took 2 mg of xanax for a year or more, I had some of the symptoms u describe.. but I was not that worse. I could eat normal sleep normal.. the way I did it was going from 2 mg a day to twice a day 1 mg for a month, then 1mg in the morning and 0,5 mg in the evening for 2 month.. after that 0,5 morning and 0,5 evening for a month, then 0,5 in the morning for 2 months after that i took 5 mg of tranxene when needed. after a while I quit tranxene too and my body calmed down and i felt better

[skellycat9]

There's heavy metals in benzos....Barium....it's probably still in your system

[coldlife]

i've been on xanax for about 5 months now, missed a doze one morning, and that feeling. i can't even deal with it. you explain it so well. good job. i don't dare quitting. i've tried doing it cold turkey, i lasted for a week, then i felt like too much of a wreck to go on that way. so i went back on. now i have no idea what to do. i'm locked behind xanax bars for now. but this video really helps. i do not want this hell. i'd rather be my old anxious self.

[tracyblogger]

My nurse practicioner refused to acknowledge that xanax is addictive. HER solution to my illness?  She actually told me to take a multivitamin each day!!

[Winter077]

@adiostraitorobama Good comment.

[blackkat77]

im on pantaloc right now because of a drug i took half a year ago. It was an antibiotiric that reacted with one of my medications. antibiotics ruined my stomach. i went through similar things as you, like not eating

[WizzardOfGlue]

damn man, if you can go through that. you can go through anything

[badcboi1982]

i understand ur pain..

[jrk7501]

I'm sorry for all these fucked up doctors.

[tren979797]

coming off 2 mgs. of xanax now...I'm tapered down to .5mgs at night and I cant sleep! had to leave the gym today cause I just couldnt function in public. Feel wicked disoriented. Did your eyes look really blasted(dialated and restricted pupils and just a vacant look) when you were coming off? My eyes look kind of scary. it's freakin me out. dont want to make eye contact with anyone!

[thedancetuber]

i am watching this series, bcuz, i have the same affiction as you, and have been on xanax for over 5 yrs, and also still have a bottle full of temazepam, which i do not take. i have started the tapering off and really trying hard to get thru my own "hell" thanks for doing this series.

[718mom]

I can't believe how many bad doctors you had to deal with, feel so sorry for you!!!

[ninka12345678]

listen i can help you!!!!

[jazzflea]

I know what you saying!My girlfriend was really sick and I was upset, anxious so my doctor gave me Valium, after taking 2 X 5mg a day for about 6 weeks and my girlfriend got better (Baruj Hashem) and I stopped Valium cold turkey,Now I feel shit, frequent panic attacks, anxiety, feeling poisoned, waking up with nightmares, afraid, I was checked out head to toes and I am all good but my chemicals in my brain are mixed up! Doctors r shit, they get incentive from the pharmaceuticals!Evil ass cunts!

[Michaeltanase]

U.S. doctors answer to everything is pills. That's why there are so many people addicted to pills.

[Draziom203]

psychiatry kills!

[Crinwa]

when you say 'i wish i was my old anxious self again', that rings true to me so much! I would love to be the person i was before i started taking benzo's because long term use of these drugs only makes your problems worse.

You take xanax to relieve the symptoms, then you take more and more to get the same result, you end up having a relationship with the drug. I take 6 - 8 mg's per day. It's gonna take a long time for me to be free from this void in my life

[BrickMonkey99]

I know what your talking about. I cold turkeyed xanax 2.5 years ago and Im still messed up somewhat. I am better but still have symptoms. I believe you.

[zabitkhan]

you what i was the same age when your anxiety started ..i was 15 and know i am 33 years of age and i took a lot of antidepressents ..and when ever my heart started beating fast i would think i am having a heart attack ..i suffered a lot i can't tell you trhat how many times i have seen my death so close that it freaked me out ..so depressed .now i am learning to live without madication i just stopeed taking cipralex ,,,it's now 20 days since i left my pills i prey for good to happen ...i like

[ghaleonx128]

sorry to hear that your drs were so incompetent, its unfortunate but really a valuable lesson. I had a catholic psychologist and she had a book in her office called something like "Prayer Cures Everything" and that really freaked me out. And when i tell her about my anxiety she says its normal even though I know its not.  Sorta strange how they can be so "out there" and still part of the medical profession.

[DigitalAnonymous]

Thanks for this video. I know you speak the truth dude. I tried to end my life after spending 20 years on the drugs and they stopped working. I was on xanax for 8, klonopin for 10 and valium for 3. Never take benzos longterm. Hell is just around the corner when these drugs quit on ya. Heroin is much easier to get off.

[DigitalAnonymous]

They are almost impossible to detox from even after doing a slow taper. You will suffer almost unbearably hell for years after you come off these drugs. I have been off over a year and still I am suffering daily. A walk thru hell is an understatement. Stay away from these drugs. They will wreck your life. Thanks for this video guy. I know you speak the truth.

[DigitalAnonymous]

I have never experienced pain like this in my life. I took xanax for 8 years prior to the K and it was hell on earth too but klonopin made me try to end it all. Never take benzos longterm.

[DigitalAnonymous]

I believe you dude. I tried to end my life when the .5 mgs of klonopin I had taken for nearly 10 years quit working. I was ready to die.
