    This is so encouraging!! At 11 months off, I also think that my nervous system is damaged , but this message give me the hope, and now I believe that it may take long, but it's injury is temporary, like any other wound on the body, and will eventually heal.

    I’m amazed no one talks about how much your gut gets tore up. It was my gut that stated saying “no more of this”. Then when my gut healed, no way would I agree to more pills.

    I am trying to wean off of Mirtazapine 45 mg that I have been on for 2 years for functional dyspepsia..not mental health. I was doing 10% decrease weekly and was doing fine until I got to the 15 mgs 2 weeks ago. A week later I was dizzy 2 days, then my stomach issues (gerd and burning) is back. I was trying to figure out what to do next. I only have my PCP to ask because a GI doctor prescribed this and he doesn;t have good info on weaning and really neither does my PCP. So now, I will just hold here at 15 mg to see if the symptoms resolve. Once they do, I will proceed slower, maybe 1 mg every month, if I feel ok on that dose. I like you said that it's ok to crawl. I felt like I was going to be able to get off of this faster since I was doing so well, but now I see why it got harder. I really hope I dont have to go back on a PPI for my stomach ( I was able to get off of it because of the Mirt) i have been off of it for months, but... I think a PPI might be the lesser evil between to the two drugs for long time use. any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Angie I heard once you said about someone still having severe akathisia really, really, really far out. The kind that’s explosive, hulk like still! I walk and jog more than 20kms every day. I have to. I can’t be still. I’ve done 58.000 kms in the years. It’s me.. will write to you at some point. Also still intrusive thoughts every second of the day, awful content, compulsions, surges up explosions from the chest. Severe anadonia, DR and DP. Migraine, head and brain pressure, inner vibrations, doom and tears still most of the day. Now 22 months since a glimpse of the last window. It’s pure survival. Won’t talk tones not not scare people. So hard to believe healing is happening. Can’t count the losses. Thanks for your message of hope. ❤

    I haven’t seen it go past 3 years so I’m not sure who you’re talking about. The one person I saw who still it at 4 years out, I told them to investigate other health issues and that person was on other meds that were causing it, mold exposure and diet related. Once they addressed those things they were much better. So please address other health issues if you are farther out and still have it. I’ve only seen that once in my time doing this full time.

    Crazy Canucks benzo detox taper. 👍 If you get someone to help you, you can completely control your withdrawal. Do not tell your doctor that you want or need to get off them. Just keep getting as many as you can and save up a stash. They had me up to 4 mg, I have been doing a milligram a year, and I am down to 0.5 mg. Still scared to death, but I am able to function.

    Are neurological symptoms are different from mental ones. At 11 months off, I usually dont have much intrusion thoughts, but I feel like my mind is bot connected with anything around, I have a cut off feeling from reality, some days it feels I don't know or hard to connect with my family members, or even with my memories. Are these mental symptoms? Will they go away? and I will be able to connect with the world around ever? It's very scary.

    Your videos are so helpful, to get some light of hope. Now at almost 11 months off, it seems that I am getting worse, my symptoms are changing every day, sometimes my brain is disconnected from the environment, sometimes my mind is blocked and has a stuffed feeling, my head is heavy and screwed feeling, some day I feel I don't exist. Why do I experience these scary symptoms? They were not as intense in earlier months as now ? Are they common in benzo withdrawal at 11 months off? It's very difficult to believe that I will ever be normal.
