Benzodiazpine Withdrawals (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I do want to warn everyone that is taking Benzodiazepines. Xanax, Clonazepam, Klonipin, Ativan, Valium, etc.. THIS IS A PSYCHOTIC DRUG! ONLY TO BE USED FOR 2-4 WEEKS. I was put on them for yrs. I had terrible anxiety... the more anxiety I had, the more the doctor was upping my dose! It was the Clonazepam causing it. I went to a detox, they cold turkey'd me ~ TAPER SLOWLY. You will have the worst withdrawals and they are not like an opioid withdrawal! it takes weeks to over a year to go through the withdrawals. Trust Me I was a victim of such. READ UP ON THEM. See sites like benzo.org.uk then join a benzo group. They should be treated like an opioid. They can be worse than them.

Did you watch This is Life with Lisa Ling on CNN Oct. 6th, 2019? Very good reporting, once you are prescribed them, you cannot get off of them, Its a horrible medication, and its not to be used for sleep. That is off Label scribing

I don't have anxiety, I did while I was on them, and I was when I first got cold turkey'd off of them. That's the thing, the more I was given the worse I got. And like over 7000 people I know, are going through the most horrific withdrawals not recognized by the medical community. I had no idea for a yr. what was wrong with me, they did test after test, until I was invited into a support group, and they had every symptom I had plus so many more.

well, over 7000 people will have to disagree with you. I couldn't believe it myself, my Doctor ran so many tests for so many symptoms that came up. I do not have anxiety any longer, I only had it when I was put on the Benzos. Ativan, Valium, and Klonipin. Some tolerance symptoms and withdrawals symptoms are all part of the horrid medication that we get hijacked on
