Magnisium Oxcide « on: June 12, 2019, 06:34:38 pm »
I just got out of a terrible set back from off gassing from furniture.
A specialist told me to wash my clothing in Enviroklenz laundry enhancer to remove the Chems.
I am not worse than before from breathing in Mag Oxide and Zinc Oxide.
It says mag stays in the system for 27 hrs. So I read its a GABA acting metal? Now this means im in the thick of it again?

I don’t want this to be controversial but I’m having a hard time seeing people that are so sick years out. I’m having a hard time believing it’s still withdrawal (except for cold turkey people).
Maybe we shouldn’t be telling them it will get better. Maybe they do need to be on an anti depressant.
Please don’t attack the post. I’m just questioning the quality of life if the suffering goes on for so long.
This is exactly how I feel. People keep saying I’ll get better because I’ve only been on them 2 weeks and some change and got like this. And it’s November and this all happened end of July. It’s so tiring. I’m willing to take anything. I’m too young for this. It’s so depressing. I question my sanity everyday. I obsess over it. I’m like a caged animal in my damn head.

Yes, I have seen it a few times on here.
Another day full of torture, at the end of my rope and looking for support « on: August 22, 2018, 02:50:12 pm »
Heading 18 months next week, but the burning nerves and chemical energy are absolutely horrible.
I am losing my mind and would like to smash everything in my room, because of the pain and anxiety.
I hope someone can give me some positive words today. I am fucking done after so long.

I know exactly how you feel. I’m there to. It sucks watching everyone living so happy and normal and here we are in god awful agony. Then the assholes who prescribed us these poisons say we’re not in withdrawal because it has cleared our system. It ain’t fair. Just hold on tight. It’s all we can do. I’m nearly 26 months and don’t know how much longer I can do this. I guess just keep pushing.

Really not only them, but family and friends think we are crazy and put a label on our head.
“We are you lying on the couch the whole day”, “why are you not working” etc.
I remember the words from my doctor who said this medication will help you with your sleep issues (1,5 year back). Yeah right it has destroyed everything. As far as I know from you, you are also struggling really bad isn’t?

Struggling really bad. I’ve lost friends cuz they don’t understand. Coworkers won’t even stop to talk anymore. The statement that really pisses me off from people that don’t understand is “SNAP OUT OF IT” it can’t be that bad. Went to see a new doctor and when I explained what I was going through I got the same puzzled look and he wanted to refer me to a phych pill pusher. I told him the damage is done and I need to be left alone to heal. He strongly disagreed and offered a script for Paxil and Xanax. I got up and left. There’s my pissed off vent for the day. Let’s just keep pushing and eventually we will be writing our success stories. Hang on buddy!!!!

I’m in there with you guys. I’m having a bad run on and off. Hope, I felt what you described wanting to scream or break things, it happened yesterday and I went what the hell was that I’m a pretty fun lovin guy. It may be the length of time given up to healing and not seeing a straight line improvement. No choice, move forward, stay clean.

Afterlife fear « on: March 29, 2017, 01:14:49 pm »
Before I was put on a benzo I had Pure o OCD. My theme was I thought I was dead and in the afterlife. Today while in benzo withdrawal I can’t seem to break through the thoughts that I’m fine. Like I’m totally losing it.
I have Mental illness so it’s kinda hard to help me when I have so much going on.
Re: Afterlife fear « Reply #1 on: March 29, 2017, 02:49:54 pm »
I think it may be your mental illness combining with the DP/DR that happens in withdrawal! For me it was just creepy things like the feel of plastic grocery bags was all wrong, I was sure they were much thinner and cheaply made 
and I despised touching them for a long time. Religion and your concept of what an after-life is are probably overwhelming right now.
So, research Depersonalization and Derealization, I hope that will comfort you…
peace,

I'm 45 and have lost ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. « on: March 14, 2017, 10:16:14 am »
I’ve been fighting clonazepam withdrawal for four years now. I’ve made it through it twice only to b launched back into it by mistakes. Once from taking a prescribed drug called perphenizine which totally reset me back to zero. And once from taking Aleve. I’m 45 and have lost everything I own. My savings, my 401 k, my stock portfolio and my house ..which burned down while in clonopin withdrawal. My credits destroyed too. I’ve lost over 200,000 total.
I’m 45 yrs old and feel there’s no use in trying to start over. I’m too old. My life is over and I simply do not want to exist anymore.
Anaesthetic Dilemma- Help Please!! « on: June 19, 2016, 04:14:12 am »
Hi Everyone,
It’s been a while since I posted. Lots been happening including a hospitalisation on 6 March 2016 when I was admitted very ill & vomiting blood. Then followed blood transfusions in ER due to low blood count. Next thing was to find out the root cause of presenting symptoms. I was given a general anaesthetic for a endoscopy using a Benzo anaesthetic. Drs found HPylori bacteria had caused ulcers & biopsies were all clear of any other concerns. Have taken 2 lots of strong antibiotics to kill bacteria.
The anaesthetic caused my w/d sxs to escalate to such a degree that I had to hold my taper & only started again about 5 weeks ago (at a lower cut than I was doing before).
Presently on 14mg Valium per day & due to start another cut of 0.5mg tomorrow.
My concern is that the Gastroenterologist wants to do another endoscopy on 25 July to check all going OK. I know that this is possibly a good idea, but the thought of having another anaesthetic is terrifying, as I’m still recovering from the onslaught on my body of the last one!
I’ve printed up my very easily understood excel Tapering Schedule, have a folder full of personal information & relevant Ashton & other material so I can back up what I’m telling them. BUT to my dismay none of them even want to listen let alone look at what I’ve researched.
Bottom line: I really don’t want any more of this ‘stuff’ in my body at present & want to wait for further investigations when I’ve finished tapering.
Has anyone else had to face this dilemma whilst in horrendous withdrawal & tapering?
Any thoughts or encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
Love & blessings to all,
[…]?

My suggestion would be not to try them making understand, just make it clear that you cannot and will not accept any benzodiazepine except what you regulary take for your taper.
Get it in writing if you have to ! Sometimes people have it reported in their medical files that they are ‘allergic’, but I don’t know if that would fly. Maybe the phrase ‘paradoxical reaction’ would work ?
I take it they used a benzodiazepine in addition to whatever else they used for aneasthesia ? There must be alternatives !
I haven’t been in that situation, but I know docs just won’t get it.
