Benzodiazepine Withdrawal = Benzodiazepine HELL

The Benzodiazepine (pronounced /ˌbɛnzəʊdaɪˈæzəˌpiːn/, often abbreviated to "benzos") first introduced to the market in 1960 are a commonly prescribed class of psychoactive drugs with varying sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic (antianxiety), anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and amnesic properties. Some of the symptoms which may occur as a result of long term use of benzodiazepines include emotional clouding[1] nausea, headaches, dizziness, irritability, lethargy, sleep problems, memory impairment, personality changes, aggression, depression, agoraphobia, anxiety and panic attacks, social deterioration as well as employment difficulties.[4][5][6] Many of these adverse effects of long term use of benzodiazepines begin to show improvements three to six months after withdrawal of benzodiazepines.

i KNOW NOW THAT i HAVE NO HOPE OF EVER BEING FREE FROM THIS EVIL DRUG . = [

I have been given at least 8000 mgs of Clonazepame for six years!

I have found that there is no help...it changes your mental state...it ruins your thought patterns. You are anxious for no reason...it is just the Narcotic that has changed your nervous system.

I've been suffering for month now & i am worn out. I have been taking 2mg Klonopin every day for 8 yrs. I have been thru opiate withdrawals cold turkey so it's not like i'm a wimp. But these withdrawals just keep coming with no end in sight. I feel i am losing my mind. I do know lack of sleep affects you, but where are these suicidal thoughts coming from? Also, how could my Dr. say a 1 month taper would be enough? They don't want to hear or be responsible for prescribing such an insidious drug.

[BarackHassanbinsober]

@Bahnain Get another Doctor...you cannot get off in a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All true...tell your Dr. you can't handle the withdrawals...He will put you back on the meds. It is serious...you can have seizures from the withdrawals. I am not a Doctor...just a person wants to ban Benzos...they are evil.

I am so afraid that what i'm going through is never going to end. I thought there were limits to human suffering! I have been prescribed 2mg Klonopin since 2001. I have gone through opiate withdrawals cold turkey, and even though they are excruciating hell,this is much worse. I am not strong enough for this, today is my birthday,(worst ever) I am 1 month into this, I can't fight anymore. I was going to kill myself 2 days ago. What is about this drug that makes you think that way? What can i do?

[BarackHassanbinsober]

@Bahnain You can't just stop...I was on 3mg a day for 5 yrs. I posted this because I was never told that these tabs from hell would destroy my life!!! Don't listen to the withdrawals (i.e. killing yourself) get back on them until you feel normal...then ease off a little at a time. It has taken me 6 months to get to 1 1/2 mg a day sometimes I need more. Withdrawals are horrible...nausea and flu like syptoms...disassociation...fee­ling of overwhelming fear and anxiety.

Why are imperfect, synthetic, addictive drugs legal but weed isn't? It cures everything.

@munted66 ,,taken me two years...:) 

[munted66]

@Bahnain

You can get off them, it took me 18 months but I got there. Just be prepared for the most fucked up ride of your life.

Why are the most dangerous drugs legal? Fucking strange that...

@Katszr Good whole-food nutrition, daily exercise both play and non-play, plenty of rel-time love, some kids to play with, safety, no anger, and nature will heal most things, if not all, much better than psychiatric drugs, which heal nothing, ever! They are not medicines. They only cause more illness. Trust in nature, which was good enough for humans long before psych drugs arrived.

@BarackHassanbinsober You r so wrong. You should ask someone who's a long time user & managed to successfully withdraw from it. I'd been a frequent user of Valium for 20 yrs & on 270mg per month. I went cold turkey. Yes, withdrawal effects was hell but it's a means to detoxify the drugs. The worst was depression, hallucination, dark imaginations & suicidal thoughts. But just ignore all these deceptions & you'll be on the road to recovery. Don't worry. Nothing is impossible if you r determine .

[Monrocsol]

@BarackHassanbinsober YES YOU CAN. GO TO A HOSPITAL AND GET A DETOX. I ABUSED ATIVAN FOR 22 YEARS AND DID IT. WAS IT EASY? NOPE. MY WITHDRAWALS LASTED FOR 8 MONTHS AND I DID NOT SLEEP FOR PROBABLY THAT LONG. IT IS NOT EASY, IT IS WORSE THAN GETTING OFF HEROIN. YOU CAN DO IT THOUGH!

[GanjaEclectus]

My doctor told me I'll need to be on drugs my whole life. So I quit all the dangerous pharmaceuticals and now just use Marijuana only. The herb is my medicine, I don't get withdrawals when I don't feel like using it or I forget to take it, it's all natural, and doesn't rot your brain like pharmaceuticals do. I feel 100% better than I did when I was on those dangerous pharmaceuticals. Thank God for Medical Marijuana!

After 3 years on Klonopin, then 4 on Ativan (8 mg per day), I was cut-off after a voluntary detox from prescribed pain management Morphine. No doctor (including ER) would reinstate. The Morphine was a relative (6 day) breeze compared to the nearly 1 year horriffic withdrawals from Ativan, of which they detox hosp. gave me only a 6 day taper, where hell began!

There's a Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Support Group on Facebook if anyone's in need of help regarding benzo withdrawal, or considering it.
