Discomfort my ass!! Stop sugar coating, it's complete hell!!

It’s not just “uncomfortable.” It’s hell! It causes Gaba a receptors down regulation, hence causes dangerous physical symptoms. High HR/BP, shakes, fever, burning sensation, chest pain, severe panic attacks, seizures, Akathisia, insomnia, terror, panic, agoraphobia, dp, dr, etc. Is not just “uncomfortable”, it is the literal definition of hell. I hoped you were more well versed than most psychiatrists, specially as a holistic one. Have you treated, or helped a patient taper and switch to natural medications to help with the withdrawals?

I'm sorry it doesn't seem that I was emphatic enough. What you're saying is exactly the point I was attempting to make with this video. It's truly terrible. I have had some patients find benefit with kava kava and hemp oil. It's important to have someone guiding the process. most helpful has been a gradual taper over many months supported by nutrition, meditation and detox.

Don't forget benzos are also a mast cell stabilizer so it f's all those up too.

Veteran here, from prescribed benzos, taken as prescribed. Learned what this doc is saying from 7 years of benzo hell and still not recovered. The description this doctor gives doesn't give a drop in the bucket of the suffering benzo wd causes. Destroyed my life.

I rocked for 3 hours in my bed this morning - fighting to get through the mental torment. It is horrific. I am so very grateful that this thing ebbs and flows now. From June 2016 until March 2018 I was in constant torture. The only reason I am still here is due to the fear of death. 2018 I have improved and looking to continue improving generally in 2019. Love you all.

I sought help for my complete withdrawal from meds at Beyond Meds. She said it takes at least two years to get them out of your system. Be patient. Get your blood sugar checked. Eat right, take a walk and start a hobby or take a class. Go to church services and make some new friends. Help yourself. It is imperative to act normal so you can be normal. I also went to NA meetings. That was helpful, too.

Nice you have some good understanding of benzodiazepine withdrawal!I was on klonopin for 20 years for anxiety/once I’ve been off for over 12 years now.I weaned myself for over 9 months through water titration.The whole process is agonizing and I still have severe sensitivity to stress and noises.Hopefully one day the medical and addiction community will learn and know how to treat this,and a 28 day inpatient detox is the worst thing you could do to a person.Slow very slow taper is the best way for most!Thanks for the video,and the blessing you are for other’s!!

I’ve been off Ativan for over two months now (I tapered slowly) and still going through hell. And I only took it for less than a month for severe panic attacks and reached tolerance super fast. What has been done to us is a crime.

I’m in paws from SSRI’s.. I think the worst thing is we don’t have a voice. Soooo many people suffering unnecessarily, fighting for their lives without any offering of support. Not a single societal service even acknowledges our suffering is genuine. It makes for one lonely, scary ride. Its an experience which will turn even the most kind hearted and gentle person bitter.

Here’s an idea: no m.d., or other medical professional with an Rx pad, may prescribe a benzo unless, and until they go on said benzo for at least six months, and then stop. This should be the case for all psych meds these so-called health care professionals prescribe. That would turn this whole shit show called psychiatry on its head.

Yes intense discomfort and despair with seemingly no end in sight! It's enough to make even the most pragmatic, sayne, level headed individual feel like their losing their mind, body and SOUL. Not even a whisper of a respite or window in quite some time😂😥😷🤕😨😢

Stop prescribing them to new patients. Not people who have already been on them. They're already panicking and rapidly tapering people off of them. The last thing we need is millions of people ripped off of benzos way too fast. I mean that totally went great with opiates didn't it? And opiate withdrawal is nothing in comparison.

Stop prescribing them to people for minor issues like anxiety. They still have uses. And to the people wanting to ban them. Yeah let's just rip millions of people off of their benzo and throw them into CT benzo withdrawal and likely give them protracted withdrawal. Genius. We all know how well this has gone with opioids when they panicked and started ripping everyone off of them. Things got much better, didn't they?

You should make contact with Baylissa, if you haven’t done so already, she is the go to person in the psych drug withdrawal community. She has many clients that need help with tapering and a knowledgeable MD on psych drugs effects and withdrawal could be of assistance to her and them.

I have different stages, first physical sick tired, second stage, dementia intrusive thoughts crying can't do simple things severe depression, then the next stage I feel better but the o.c.d. and intrusive memories bug me. Then it all starts getting better, that's where I was until cefuroxine time, I kept taking it even though I got worst and worst Every time I took it, I just wanted to get rid of the lyme.
