I’ve just come across your post- I found dropping the 10-9mg harder @ 1mg- how did the rest of your taper go

@@jodavidson1733 Hey there :-) Funny timing of your comment; Today exactly marks my 4th year since I joined rehab and start my recovery journey, and this post of mine has been a reminder of my journey and how much things change in a year (obviously of course, but it is also nice to realise it!). Anyway… Since last March, I have dropped from the 7mg to 5mg (which actually went ‘okay’). It was done gradually, and I was open about it with my psychiatrist. They were not pushy and I didn’t feel it coming as a punishment when they encouraged me to ‘just give a try and we check during next appointment’, usually taking place every 2-3 months. Since then, I faced a bump in my recovery unfortunately, it lasted 2 months. The reason I mention that, is because during that period, I discontinued my medication (I was busy doing ‘other’ things), until I felt ready to get back on track and fight the fight and continue my journey. Please, this is not me giving ideas, and my relapse and medication were not interconnected. Looking back, I would have preferred if I had not relapsed and kept my 7mg or more:-) At the moment, on paper, I am at 4mg/day “when needed”, which for me, for now, interprets as 4mg/day about 4 to 5 days a week, and we are both okay with that (my psychiatrist and myself). I do not feel as dependent on it as I used to for 3+ more years. But also, far from feeling I can just get rid of it. My heart skips a beat at the thought of it :-) Bottom line, I am not a doctor (far from being one), and my advice is simply from my own simple experience which might not be the best approach medically, but: if you are being followed up by a psychiatrist (and I hope you are - I self medicated and it took me nowhere), keep an open discussion, don’t hide your fears around it. Having a push here and there can do good, but don’t let it come as someone forcing you if you don’t feel ready and as long as you are sticking to whatever dose is recommended to you, low or high. And time needs time, a bit poetic but totally true and honest. If you need to talk about anything else or ask me any question about it, I am an open book, regarding my own personal experience (again, I am not a doctor) :-) Best of luck! Take care, always :-)

Aw wow- perfect timing and thanks for the reply Nadim. I’m in NZ and was started on the poison to help with a new SSRI I started right as Covid hit so unfortunately the Drs seemed to be more concerned and preoccupied with that. No I’m not with a psychiatrist and tbh, the Drs have no knowledge of tapering let alone w/d and the last psych I had a zoom meet with, growled at me for not being face to face with him but I have Agora thanks to the Diaz. Plus I was told by the Mental Health team I wasnt having withdrawal from the amount I was tapering and they discharged me saying I wasnt trying. I religiously tapered every 2wks until I got mouth zaps and was given an informal diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia over the phone and put on Tegretol, a mood stabiliser, so while on that I halted my taper for 6mnths till I finally got off the Tegretol, of course all 3 of those meds for the CNS. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️.I started back on the taper 19 Feb this year at 10.5mg taking it in 4 daily split doses, dropping 1mg off one of the doses at a time and alternating which dose each time to try and keep it even. I did the 1mg drop for 3wks, then the next 1mg for 2 weeks and was feeling quite good and at least functioning but here I am on 9mg and 2wks tomorrow and wont be dropping till I feel more comfortable. I feel crap if I’m honest on Day 13 so I think the drop was too larger amount and/or maybe my sweet spot atm is 3wks. They recommend 5-10% so all I can think of. Anyways thanks again, was interested to hear your story..stay safe and well

@@jodavidson1733 awwww!!! Thanks for opening up back :-) I am always open to talking mental health struggles - this is exactly the reason why, people tend to open up in return and we all feel less lonely, even if just a bit 🤗🥰 I live in the Netherlands, we have a weird system here as well, although I got lucky: you can only be followed by a specialist for a period of 2 years, “until you stabilise”, and then you are moved to the GP who will take me over in a month or two. Exceptionally, my psychiatrist extended for 2 years, because the thought alone of not being followed up by a specialist was going to make me relapse tbh. But now is time, and I am mentally getting ready to be followed up by my GP, who will… listen to that: barely knows me and will have to control my list of 4 psych. meds. It is just so weird how systems are done. From one side I do get the ‘shortage’ and the growing need and waiting lists (world is not helping), but at the same time I just find it weird. If you can allow me to add my 2 modest cents on the matter 😋: 1) search for a psychiatrist, and even if there is a waiting list, then just wait. You will feel in good hands. And try to find one that you can try and do your best to see f2f. I can only imagine the struggle to do so. But believe me, it is important to establish a contact and trust (both sides!). Remember, it is also a responsibility from the other side…. 2) super important that I mention again that I am no specialist by giving any advice on mental health, and all the different diagnosis and how to approach them best!!! But in case you are supposed to taper off, as per a specialist recommendation, try to look at ‘tapering strips’. This can be done according to any plan you put with your specialist, and can go 0.1 every couple of days you both find fit. I know that was going to be an alternative for me, in case I could not do it…. Again, I wish you the best of luck and a lot of strength! You are not alone :-) Xox

@@nadima1988 Thanks for your support Nadim. Pretty sure there are no tapering strips avail here. The scary thing is knowing you are feeling like this and there’s little point in seeing or speaking to your GP who all your life you’ve trusted in their practice. They dont even seem prepared to read up on what this is about and agree, workloads, the world. We put our trust in these professionals and trust for most of us suffering this, is something hard to come by and yet we are trusting of strangers albeit, laypeople who have been through it. Its disgusting tbh. I have no idea if there is a psychiatrist in NZ who specialises or at the very least, knows about this w/d process and tapering but will try and search. You Keep moving forward - its apparently worth it and your mindset sounds like its in the right place. J XO

When did your symptoms start?

What dosage were you on

@@justinskedelofficial4515 I am trying to taper down but my regular dose is 0.5 mg of Klonopin a day twice not much but I had seizures because of the withdrawal and I want to go back to detox for alcohol but they give you a 3 day taper on either Valium or Ativan but I am on Klonopin which I am prescribed point of the story benzos are horrible I wish they never made them but from what I have read according to my research they were made as a safer alternative to barbiturates.

This is my worst nightmare

And yes it wasn’t the first time but the3rd.

Lord I feel so bad for you that had to be complete hell

drugs,drink,gambling,sex you can go on to food tv as you say theres few people that arent addicted to something,there the lucky ones .

This is a great herb but personally I would try Kava kava or L-Theanine. It’s all very personal because everyone reacts differently to supplements and herbs. Some don’t take any. I’m one of those who took them during acute and I am still taking herbs in protracted. Can’t imagine not taking anything. I would probably not survive it. My suggestion is if you want to try magnolia bark take very tiny dose and see how you react. I don’t believe it works as quickly as other herbs though. Good luck!

@@angelikask7721 Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it. I have tried L-theanine but it makes me very drowsy. I agree it's hit or miss with some of these herbals but I am willing to try it to get off of benzos for good, thank you, many blessings on your journey.

@@victoriajustice564absolutely! Do everything you can to get off the meds. NAD therapy is intense but it has helped me a lot. You can research it. It’s expensive too but if you are interested I know a doctor who doesn’t charge that much. Again it’s not an answer for everyone but it saved me and my job. Good luck to you and hang in there!❤️

I would suggest a slow taper. you have not been on it for long, You may not feel any withdrawals, but still do taper. i've been on prescription 1mg/day xanax for 8yrs now and i want to stop and i am so scared of withdrawals. You really are ahead! best of luck!

Thanks @ doctorojie1@yahoo.com for helping me get rid of my herpes simplex permanently now I am negative again thank you dr .

Daniel Wheatley yes that’s is the reality my man you are correct those pills are very toxic.. dangerous stuff..

I would try to stop now rather than continue. 3 weeks wouldn’t be hard to come off.

See my other reply, as well. I slowly tapered off clonazepam more than once over the years (I knew it was addicting, but I never knew you could develop tolerance). I just went slow and never had problems... other than feeling antsy approx. 7-12 days after last dose (due to the half-life) and it always only lasted 2 days and then completely passed. Just go slow. If too hard to go slow enough with dry cutting, then consider doing water taper over 2 months or so. You haven't been on it that long and that is a very good thing. It's hard to avoid alcohol, but it is helpful to do so while tapering and for a while after off of benzo too.

You would be fine. That's not much.

@@bartginger123 how much should you reduce? and how often

Im w u. Been on it 6 years now. Down to .5mg myself and working down. Was at 3mg a day. I figure i have another year left then im done. i plan on going down 10% every month.

Did you ever feel your brain doesn't function normally and can't understand that people can do normal things and live their normal lives and became overwhelmed of any normal things? I call it brain lock and it is stopping me to function and see people. Before I got prescired benzo and no warnings I was active social person and now i'm alone mostly because I tell my hell all the time to my loved ones and feel like I'm in a different reality from other people. I feel depersonalization and derealisation and disconnected from people and enviroment and my loved ones. My brain just shuts down. I'm tapering. All the best.

Amanita Muscaria mushrooms? That's a hard one to believe. Trippers.

Amanita mushrooms are one of the most powerful healing tools. You don’t trip off them unless you take more then 10 grams. Healing doses are 5 and less. It’s all about dosage.

I don't know why physician prescribe me these deadly medicine called benzodiazepines....

You just keep reducing as you are doing and over time these horrific symptoms gradually decrease. It is truly the most challenging thing to endure. Just know that hundreds of thousands of people have done this same thing and are free. You are on your way to joining them. Distract as much as you can, go easy on yourself, trust your body as it knows how to undo these adaptations.

you will definitely feel it already on the 1st to 2nd day after you stopped taking it. for example Inner restlessness, anxiety, spasmsm burning sensation on your skin, not feeling well...can happen you dont feel any hunger or excess hunger. Furthermore Xanax is not the best benzo for tapering, but you could try if you can cut down to 1,5 - 2,5 bars for 2-3 weeks and then make a quick taper down to 1 or 0,5...as long as it is bearable for you.

Any update on this??

@@amandabee5933 yes I'm ten x worse now.

How are you now?

@@hearme4581 worse than 3 months ago.

how long would you consider long term? i have been stupidly using them recreationally/ therapeutically for around 2months and when i stopped i started to get this uncontrollable itch all over my skin. im starting to taper now but ive got myself into a sticky situation here where i thought i was taking a drug recreationally and ended up having physical withdrawals.

@@MrJonojono34 I'm not for sure everyone is different, I'm not a Dr I would think it depends on how much you're dosing and what particular benzo you're using.

Is 2 months 0.25mg once a day considered long? Do i need to taper?

and now drop the 0.5 Kpins.

@Ukri1 that's what I did and was fine

@Carson oh 2 years taking it is a lot. Gotta taper off. Take the smallest dosages when feeling sick until your body adjusts, then drop lower.
