A nightmare to get off of them. Renzo withdrawal is very long and awful at night.
Mindfulness helps a lot. The guide book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels is a great resource.
Artsie did u feel fatigue like no spirit in body and stomach cramps in ur withdrawal please ans I m 90 days sober
Xanax is basically banned in Australia. Its an S8 medication which means it’s basically impossible to get thank god for that!
It seems to be useful for 3 days then your tolerance grows, your addiction grows and suddenly you’re up the creek. I got addicted in the 90s. Had a bottle of 2mg x 100!!
After a month of light use it became apparent that my anxiety was worse than ever. I only took them initially because my separation from a terrible person was very stressful! I had never really had anxiety before. I know what anxiety feels like, everyone gets it sometimes, but normally I didn’t suffer from it.
Xanax actually gave me anxiety. So to fix the problem I dissolved 15 tablets in 60 ml of water in a bottle.. then I would dispense myself 2ml of the preparation at night time and top it up with freshwater each time and leave it in the fridge. That’s only one milligram and every time you have it afterwards it’s dosage is decreasing in a inversely proportional taper - painless. Worked like a treat.
You just have to remove any temptation of taking Xanax when you are a little bit pissed off or upset. I threw them in the toilet- devil’s brew!
I am glad that XANAX and is banned in Australia because I can see the problem caused overseas by its continual dispensing.
then dont take them every day...
@@nickcommie yes don’t take any thing at all if you can.
One word NO...Do not take benzos...took me 10 years to get off...It is 1 of the drugs that the withdrawal can kill you...
I had cancer & was nvr given more than .25mg. Ppl talking about ‘bars’ of Xanax are the ones who typically get in trouble. I can’t believe Dr’s prescribe more than .25mg pill. I occasionally take 1/2 of that! So no, it doesn’t take 10 yrs to get off of it if the patient & Dr are careful. I needed Xanax for chemo side effects, like nausea.
This - Benzos are DANGEROUS
Exactly Deborah. ;(
@@CapysGardenShop but often Dr.s aren’t careful. They are responsible singlehandedly for the opioid epidemic. They don’t understand addiction typically and they also don’t understand how their prescribing practices promote addiction.
@@CapysGardenShop I was on .25 mg of clonazepam and still suffering after 3 years off.
I took benzos and TRUST me...they made me feel relief at first but then became my hell.
They are not worth the pain & suffering . That is my honest opinion based on my experience.
Can I ask what did it do for you? Did you feel bad or did the meds help you?
@Jenny Àldrich look up benzo post acute withdrawal syndrome and look up the Heather Ashton manual. Haven't taken A benzo in 3 yrs but they've ruined my brain/body. Muscle tightness in every joint, all my tendons are in pain/inflamed, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, apathy, nerve pain, sensations. They are terrible. They induce glutamate excitotoxicity.
@@Rachelllllll2024 oh wow I didn't know I will have to look that up but I've been on these since back in 2003 maybe 1993 anyway i fell super hard at my old job back in 2017 and it had to have shifted my body anyway had a MRI on neck I have cervical spinal stenosis and all the Drs I've been to say there is nothing they can do. There are bone spurs bulge disc bone on bone and osteoarthritis in neck plus the fluid leaked out. And can't hold my head up I'm in pain every second of the day and night. I don't think my meds did that to me. And Drs won't give me anything for the pain the muscle relaxer does not even work all the creams we've bought did not work and the 8 injections in the neck also did not help. Thanks for the feedback.
@@Rachelllllll2024 I wonder how a pill can hurt someone's body so badly. That's sad
@@Rachelllllll2024 Look up The Root Cause Protocol on how to get your minerals balance. This will help with everything. Maybe not cure, but definitely help. There is a website, and you can find Morley Robbins here on YT doing interviews and such.
I have severe social anxiety and take both a SSRI and Benzodiazepines PRN usually when I miss a day or 2 of my paxcil is when I take about half daily until my paxcil starts to work again. The drug can have awful effects if used incorrectly but it is a life saver for me. I literally couldnt look at people in the eyes or talk in many cases bc my anxiety level was so high, even with family and close friends. It’s one of the worst feelings. Always be kind, you never know what someone could be going through. NEVER SHAME people for bettering their life, no matter whether you believe it’s the right way or not.
same with me i am having anxiety disorder panic attacks palpitations since 2016.... now i had chlonozopam.... i feel relaxed my life is impossible without benzodiazepines
@@pheranmooza1905 Thanks for posting. I have felt so weak for taking my lorazepam and was told by many people That I HAVE to get off them. Right now, between 2 years of covid plus other life events, I can't function with out it..I have decided that weaning off is a possible future event, but not right now.
@@carolwhelihan1514 take care always.... hope people understand what we are going through... how much painful is anxiety
I totally agree with you .
These types of medication are able to give relief in cases of extreme anxiety so the life becomes more tolerable.
I am the same way as you. I can't even leave my house at 32 years old. It's killing me and I have suffered since I was nine years old. No doctors can take me seriously and it's starting to get to the point where I don't even know if I can live like this until I'm 40😢 I've never had a prescription for benzos but I've taken every route ssris snris beta blockers which landed me in the hospital after taking too many, I mean it's just insane. I can distinguish the difference between high blood pressure and anxiety so I definitely need something for my anxiety and panic attacks I suffer from morning to night just like you basically but I am not taken seriously. Until people start taking their own lives because the anxiety is so debilitating. I take clonazepam most nights only at 0.5 and I can get them from somebody unfortunately but that's the route I have to take to even maintain my sanity at this point. I don't up my dose so, I've been through Alprazolam withdrawal before not because I was abusing them, I went through something traumatic and was cut off very quickly. That's when I got them from a friend after that and tapered myself all fairly quickly and easily actually. But I knew now that it's worse than ever my anxiety is almost Unstoppable and I do everything I can from Thai boxing, Russian sistema, mindfulness meditation, everything I can possibly do and none of it works
Benzodiazepines works fine on me for chronic use. But Antidepressants have more side effects and lees therapeutical effects on my body, every person and situation is different...
Ask Jordan B Peterson what he thinks! One word "Akathesia'
I was just thinking this
2nd words: life threatening withdrawal.
Started Jordan’s new book and it’s really interesting. Seems he’s speaking more as a clinician in this 2nd 12 Rules book vs a researcher PhD in his first 12 Rules book.
Reading his book now. If u want go induced coma in Russia.
Thank god he's doing better now. The world needs some sense talked into 'em.
@@susanpeterson3162 when i get some money on my hands im ordering it first, his third book was probably supposed to be different but after the withdrawal popped up i bet the book changed a lot ..:A LOT
Benzos ruined my life for years, took even longer for the side-effects to wear off. I don't know why these are still prescribed, but it's just not worth it.
I'm so sorry. Glad you are off.
@@wawabbit Thanks. Many professionals, including my own, are still in denial on benzos and recover times/damage. I was always well under my prescription dose for 3 years, tapered a little too quick over a six month period, then completely off for seven years now. I have little to no memory of 3-5 of those years during and after. Had to switch doctors as the previous didn't believe what was going on. They weren't alone either. I had a spouse at that time as well and information on what I went through wasn't readily available back then. People are just more comfortable saying you've lost your mind to anxiety and write you off.
Your a survivor.
@@brotherfade1082 yes it’s PURE NSANITY Benzos are actually prescribed outside of Hospitals! I don’t even think they should be used in hospitals! It’s causing brain damage after a few days and people have NO DEA why they feel so DISABLED & Fucked up!!! I took 3 years to start to get me brain back after tapering
Jeremy victor did u feel. Fatigue like no spirit in body and stomach cramps in ur withdrawal please answer I m 81 days sober
I have a friend who has been on Klonopin for about a decade, and it works well for him for his anxiety, depression and insomnia. It's doubtful he'll ever get off. But he hasn't had any rebound anxiety or any problems with it at all. It's worked well.
I rarely ever hear anything positive about benzodiazepines, everything is warning, addiction, and beware. But it seems like there are some good uses for it, and some people do well on it for longer periods of time
That is correct, you should rarely hear anything positive about benzodiazepines. You don't know the bad until you build tolerance and try to get off of them. The withdrawal is unimaginable hell. Also, they are only meant to be taken for 2 weeks
Even once an iv short acting benzo is very dangerous benzos are a poison
Benzos are much easier on the body than being an alcoholic so if those are your 2 choices……🤷🏻♀️
@@elsagrace3893 yeah keep popping benzos all day buddy Lmao go ahead
@@syntholshoulders1842 You must live quite a superior lifestyle. It's a wonder that you can even see us from so far up there
I got off benzodiazepines by tapering down. No issues. Now three years later in back on. They have saved my life. I'm now able to work again and be independent.
My doctor prescribed me Xanax, once I learned how addictive they were I never tried to get a refill. They definitely make you less anxious and not care about anything.
Mine switched me from Xanax to Klonopin... three years ago. The effect is longer, more drawn out and subtle. It takes Xanax and makes it last twice as long with about half the effect, as I've experienced. There is no "high", the effects are very subtle. I wouldn't say they make me "care less" about things nor do they cure my anxiety (I'm not on a large dose) but they take the edge off. I know what they say about addictiveness. I'm pretty sure I am somewhat physically dependent but why is that a bad thing? Being addicted to things is human nature. At least three times in my life I was on opioids for several weeks at a time, and I'm here to tell the story. I respect drugs, but I don't fear them. And they respect me back. In my opinion and experience, people get dangerously addicted when they do stupid things like take more than prescribed, double dose take them with liquor, etc.
Not always a short term solution, have untreatable, have tried every psychological trick in the book, panic disorder with agoraphobia so I am on alprazolam ER for years, daily.
1000% Benzos should not be recommended unless every other avenue has been explored 1st including therapy. Highly highly addictive and literally ruins generational relationships.
Klonopin saved my life
Don't get started on this highly addictive drug. It does more harm than good
I really beg to differ you. Xanax saved my life. I was done. So everyone's different
I got a benzodiazepine to help me deal with sleeplessness from developing tinnitus. The 3 month process of getting on and off them nearly shattered my life, and it took about a year for the worst of the symptoms to really go away and to recover psychologically with the help of a therapist. Nothing worse has happened to me before or after (and I’m currently recovering from a c-section after a complicated pregnancy- not even close). Doctors seem to only understand this medicine theoretically, which was part of the trauma. This drug does not ultimately manage anxiety. It takes it to never imagined heights, and leaves you in a much more difficult place than where you started. Maybe ok to take once or twice a year for flying or so, never ok to take regularly.
I'm so sorry for your experience.
@@wawabbit Thanks for saying that. It was a really rough experience but thanks to a really competent psychologist I was able to fully overcome it and learn to manage anxiety without medicine in the process. I just don’t want anyone to have to go through that. There are other options, drug-free ones being the best in my opinion.
@@whowantsusernames That's so good you found someone to help you. Drug-free is best, I agree.
I know how you feel. Doc had me on them of 13 years. 5 months off and I'm temporarily on Prozac. That med is only making it more tolerable. Will jump off of these eventually too. 🤷
I agree w this statement
I have used benzo’s for 35 years intermittently as needed 1/2 of a 5 mg never had a problem with them because I have such high respect for what they can do if used too much including causing tremors and cognitive issues.
5mg of what?
@@wholesomekeanureeves9466 atenolol
@@wholesomekeanureeves9466 alprazalome
@@jazzbirdbecky yeah its diffrrent for some people i for instance need around 2mg to relax
They do more rhen just that
I tapered Ativan 1.5mg a day for terrble anxiety, down to 0.5mg (took one year.) I feel fine, but my body seems to still need a small dosage (0.5mg) to just get to sleep. I am currently trying to find a "natural" alternative to help me sleep. I had a very stressful job in the IT industry and could not sleep for decades. I am so glad I retired from thjat pressure cooker job after 30 years, good riddance IT.
Thought I posted and now can’t find it. I was on a benzo (Ativan) for just under two weeks . One pill a day and it was the worst experience. Full blown withdrawal when I stopped. I never felt quite right even when I took it. My legs and arms felt like bricks. Even short term use can be dangerous. I suppose I might have been extra sensitive.
I've been told that benzos are just habit forming they're not addictive I've been on them and off them for twenty years throughout my life many years without many years with no side effects no problems they help me when I need them maybe some people are taking them for seizures but not me im taking them for anxiety and I've never had any problems with addiction to them or with side effects.>> smiley face
from study i read not all GABA receptors adapt to need more to have the same effect particulary the receptors that benzos target for anxiolytic effect didnt need more benzos even after a year of use but the ones that makes us sleepy and the ones that alter memory adapt in a few weeks max in most cases(but these are unvanted effects anyway). And most bad stories i read about benzos showed misuse and many time real stupidity involved, but tried to blame the benzos instead of the person who abused it.
@@TheNovus7 you couldn't be more wrong. Benzos are for short term use and they are highly addictive. I didn't abuse them and am having a hell of a time now being off of them.
@@robertmccall4028 well you didnt prove that i am wrong, and from my own experience nicotine is highly addictive, on the other hand when i got some of my symptoms under control i had no problem whatsoever lowering dose of xanax i take daily, no withdrawal, no side effects. Could be different person to person....
Kimberly Wood.
Same here I have been taking benzos for more than 20 years too with the same dose. We are dependent on benzos and not addictive. If that dose stays the same after use of it for so many years than it is just like any other med for heart, diabetes etc. It is safe to continue to take the same dose for the rest of your life. Because with my study on this subject chances of relapse are extremely high if you tapper off benzo with same dose use of many years. That's why lot of rehabs will not take you for tapering off benzos with same dose use for long time. So enjoy life. And don't worry about it. But addiction is completely different ball game. The patients dose keep increasing and need to tapper off. For example a patient took benzo regular dose at a regular time. Now like example after 4 hours his anxiety increases after taking the first dose. This anxiety is more severe than the one he had earlier. Now this person needs to take another dose to avoid panic attack. Now this will increase the dose of med regularly in order to be in same state of feeling normal. This is definitely Addiction which needs to be tapered off.
Cheers
@@TheNovus7 you are so wrong... can't teach dumb
After watching benzos destroy the lives of so many of my friends, mainly due to the negligence in how they're prescribed and the way they're viewed by the public, like just they're not viewed as dangerous as they should be. This should be a drug for someone undergoing something incredibly difficult like cancer, or terminal illness. Not 18 year old kids that have a general anxiety disorder.
Exactly! I had cancer. And from my knowledge, they aren’t prescribed to teens.
Hi! I was 16 when I was first prescribed a benzodiazapine for panic disorder. I have been taking lorazepam for half of my life safely and as prescribed. With that medication, coupled with CBT and exposure therapy, I've been able to overcome debilitating panic attacks to live a pretty normal life. I totally recognize how this highly addictive substance has ruined many people's lives, but it's also saved many, too.
@@kylee5560 Panic attacks and anxiety are due to mineral deficiency. However, there is less money in that for pharm corporations.
@@wawabbit I've seen a lot of your comments under this video, I can tell you believe that all things can be healed via natural remedies. And while I agree that healthy living can certainly aid in addressing mental wellness, many people are neurologically wired differently. In which case, appropriately prescribed medication can be lifesaving.
@@kylee5560 You're completely wrong. Dr. Abram Hoffer CURED schizophrenia for 40 years. CURED. You know what his main cure was? NIACIN. That's right. Vitamin B3. You know how that was received by the big pharma crowd? Not at all.
You know what MDs used to ask their patients if they weren't sleeping or had depression? "What are you eating?"
You need to broaden your horizons on this topic. Healthy living doesn't "aid," it heals; it cures. That's why big pharma and all the "science" (pseudo-science) people poo-poo natural remedies.
Do you know what they give people routinely in ERs? MINERALS in IVs. WHY? Because they KNOW that they heal and cure QUICKLY. Then later, they prescribed toxins. You know what they give in ERs - and have for over 40 years - to clear lungs? An amino acid, N-Acetyl-Cysteine. They also use it for acetominophen overdose. Uh-huh. NATURAL stuff. THEY KNOW, but they won't let YOU know, because they like MONEY>
*Has anyone else found the stresses of Covid 19 has made you sleep worse?*
Garlic can be consumed or used as a home remedy to cure insomnia. It can be taken in the form of tablets, capsules, or powder.
_Hope this helps!_
I have two autoimmune disorders that both bring with them sleep disorders, and I am allergic to garlic. :-( I use other natural plant and scent relaxants, but nothing helps my sleep now. Nothing but just sleeping when I sleep, and eating healthy and getting through as best I can. Sometimes you are dealt a health hand that you can't really fight; you just have to do your best. I am religious, pray and believe in God, and I think that helps as much if not more than other things.
Blessings and total healing to everyone 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Any opinion on CBD oil? Still more research to do but seems to have many benefits.
SunMed CBD is sold through their website and Your CBD stores. I highly recommend them as 100% effective and fast acting for anxiety. If you need more specific information, each store is independently owned and are great at answering questions to find what works for you.
Lazarus Naturals full spectrum just made me feel high. I already think outside the box. CBD made me second guess everything. It’s the ol’, ‘the other person’ must be super high effect. I definitely laughed some & then couldn’t feel full. Food definitely tasted good again. Tried it about 6 times.
I wanted zero thc cbd to help with insomnia & anxiety. Felt high, in a bad way, more anxiety! Take klonapin daily, helps, but here it seems like I'm doomed ...

Hi , when I am driving when i started to panic or something like that my leg starts shaking making me to stop the car..and take some time to relax
Is this related to anxiety issues?
You're low on minerals.
Definitely nutrition issue. Stretching/meditation would probably help too. Rather die than have to take that crap... It's ruined/killed too many close people to me.
@@wawabbit means?
@@PrinjuVaidyan You need to get more minerals into your body.
I have been on clonazepam for many years 2mg or 1.5mg along with 100mg of Sertraline. I need to sleep to be able to function. My doctor added Trazodone 50mg. On top that I take acetaminophen pm. I tried to taper benzo,, it becomes unbearable during working hours, dizziness, imbalanced, confused. My first reaction is to take another .5mg of clonazepam that helps me with balance within minutes. I know I am going to suffer in older age because of all these medications. Any suggestions? My PC physician just adds more medication. I have to work and it's becoming unbearable.
You need to see a physchiatrist. You’re on way too many meds.
i could walk away from my benzos id be dead in 3 weeks my anxiety is super bad
People dont exercise, drink coffee, eat fast food and wonder why they have anxiety. Exercise conditions your body to handle stress. Coffee or caffeine increases the stress hormones.
Well just as with any other medication there are people who will be able to use it successfully long-term and people who will find it a nightmare from day one. I have been on the same dose of Ativan since I started. And it is the one drug that works for me successfully for sleep, I don't abuse it, and it makes my life better.
Until it turns on you, and it will. Vast majority of those injured by benzos took as prescribed.
Newest research shows permanent damage from long term use.
Have you try Clonazepam rivotril or Klonopin?
and then you get bad therapists and drs that want to sell the more expensive drugs/ on Xanax for 25 yrs and doing good and they pulled me off without regard to withdrawal...now I medicate with medical marijauna
That’s awful, without properly tapering down xanax can cause a seizure and possible death.
I was on Klonopin for 12 yrs. I moved and had to get a new doctor and wouldn't prescribe them for me. I was tapered off. My anxiety is hell now. I take all my meds exactly as prescribed and anxiety is still horrible
My doctor wants me to stop after 15 years on Clonazepam. He said benzos cause Dementia. I don't believe that this is true. I tried to quit but I can't sleep at all without it.

Organic Valerian is a really good herbal for anxiety
I'm so sorry. This past year hasn't made it any easier. I turned to a cbd oil and a vape pen. I can use it when I feel one coming on and it shuts it right off,with no sedation. I hope you feel better! SunMed is very high quality, independent lab tested.
benzos have terrible side effects, and the withdrawal is very difficult. cognitive impairment, memory loss, respiratory issues, and even death. they are highly restricted and i was treated like a criminal/junkie when i was dependent on them, had to play all kinds of game$; and jump through hoop$ to keep getting them. loss of control and self respect. it's irresponsible, and unethical to promote them given the data that's available from long term usage of many people now. the psychiatrist that prescribed benzos to me quit the pill pushing racket, because he witnessed so many people's lives destroyed by pharmaceuticals, including benzos.

Anxiety and depression..

@@aquarius113 both meds take some times to adapt with our body system ..I think you better see a psychiatrist first and seek for advice..if you don’t have depression you can’t simply take mirtazapine..Different people would face different side effect ..

I have to combine both coz mirt itself does not really work well..
Any brand of anti depressant may give us side effects ..as for me mirt is the suitable one…one thing taking this mirt as for me it interact with other meds such as panadol ..

Clonazepam is a life saver for acute instances. I use it as an emergency brake. You don't use it normally driving down the highway but when you need it thank god it's there. SSRIs are good for long term stabilization but sometimes you need benzos in the short run to stabilize.
You have no clue what youre talking about. All pysch drugs are neurotoxic
DO NOT take unless no other options and only very short term if completely necessary
I took the max dose of Ativan for two years twice at two different times. I read the horror stories about dependence. Then I decided to ignore them and both times had no trouble tapering and stopping. No withdrawal symptoms, nothing. I think that sometimes the dependence is more mental than physical and that when people read the horror stories it ups their anxiety about stopping even more, causing, essentially, anxiety symptoms. Benzos have helped millions of people who never self-report and just taper off and are done. Benzos have their place.
Tell that to the people who DIE while in withdrawal. One person's experience is not another's.
No way in hell...You've got to be the one in a million chance. I'm sure of fentanyl has its uses to but it's just not worth it. Too many people I love are gone because of benzos. I'd die than take them.
only 50% of long term users develop dependence/tolerance/negative withdrawal symptoms.
Half the people just simply stop using them
I had taken benzo for 3 years, then I quit it for 2 years and didn't get any better, every single day of this period was like a hell, now I have been taking benzo again since a year ago. I guess once you start it will be for ever

@@sangeetalambh6389 I have random sharp pains throughout my body. I don't feel like myself, like you said. The demons come for me in my dreams. Terrible dreams.

Hope your brain heals and you can be who you used to be.
I tore many ligaments and tendons due to benzos induced muscle weakness.
Ok trust factor on 100 for these men !
I'd like to know how to taper safely off of a benzo I've been taking for 12 years for sleep!
@mandy goodge go to benzobuddies.org and you can see how others are tapering. Be blessed!
that sounds insane 12 years???, good luck to you, from what i read its absolute hell if its handled without absolute care
Dr. Peter Breggin has a book on psych drug withdrawal. You can find him here on UA-cam, then he has a link on his channel to his website where you can purchase the book.
Talk to your doc and taper slowly under his/her supervision. I tapered for about 1 and a half years before I jumped.
Librium is a good medicine to use to get off heavier benzos. First you taper down on your Xanax some, then You take Librium for a couple weeks then taper down and then off the Librium. That’s one method. Clonopin can also be used to come off xanax with a slow taper again with that.
Everyone is soooooo different, I tapered off clonazepam after taking as prescribed 23 years. I feel fine!
How did you do this Shana. With professional tapering? I am in the same boat. Can go 3 days without then sleep and withdrawal symptoms in feet kick in. Thank you?
@@MarkCensky please don't stop cold like that, you have to slowly taper off over many months. Heather Ashton manual is available online, I didn't follow her manual I just did it on my own because NO doctor would help me. I cut my pill into smaller doses n held a month with each cut. I had no issues, some restlessness but I walked it off n felt fine...I'm off almost 10 months n feel good..oh n zero processed sugar.
Clonopin is a lot better for tapering off with than xanax. Anyone on xanax should try to get clonopin or Librium to taper down with.
@@larrytate1657 What was your dosage, if you don't mind..
any side effect, ?
Been on Alprazolam XR for years and years now, trying to taper because of dependence symptoms but there seems to be no medically prescribed way to reduce that isn’t very debilitating. Hoping scientists start looking to help people like me who find themselves 100% dependent, despite only taking as prescribed by psychiatrist.
Look up Dr. Peter Breggin here on UA-cam. He has also put out a book on how to withdraw from psych meds.
Clonopin can be useful cause it has a much longer effect than xanax. Xanax is like a powerful sprinter and clonopin is like a slow skinny marathon runner. Maybe try to switch over when possible than after successfully switching start cutting down the clonopin.
Talk to your doc about it, tell him you heard clonopin can be easier to taper down and get off with being that it’s a lighter slower release benzo than xanax.
Thanks for advice, I completed a hospital detox earlier this year and am immeasurably happy to have that monkey off my back. Quality of life 100% improved.

Welcome to the end game 🤷🏼♂️
I use trazadone for sleep doesn't always work great used xanax off and on for years doesn't really help sleep unless I take 2mg and that relaxs me and I feel happy vs irritable anxious etc
I've been taken alproxolam for 28 years now 🥵 Also Tramadol and muscle relaxers 😪 It's not a fun life........
I've been on alprazolam for many many years think around 20 years and it helps me I take it right too. It also helps me sleep. But it helps with my anxiety and panic attacks.
Try" kailo patch" for pain....my dad pain was severe similar pain...helped huge
10mg nightly Trintellix for GAD!
Try getting more minerals - THAt is what the body needs to live, not drugs. Also, vit C - whole food, NOT ascorbic acid - is necessary for the adrenals to function properly. Vit B complex - again, whole food - is needed for the nervous system to work properly. You can get a ton of vitamins from food, as well. Lots of good fats are needed for brain function, too. FOOD is the healer, not drugs.

Guys! i injured my left shoulder during benchpress 2 months ago. it still hurts if i use it. will it heal up by itself?
A rotator cuff injury takes months to recover from. Slowly rebuild the small muscles of the shoulder doing extremely light rotator cuff exercises. Also do those exercises lightly before any and all strength training exercises in the future. Drugs will not heal you.
It happened to me stopped taking medication got a convulsion I realized and was able to stop it but wasn't able to stop the cramp never left bed somehow my left shoulder broke a little bone but had to get operated they screwed the bone
The latest research shows long term use creates permanent damage with benzodiasimines.
I haven't developed tolerance in my 20 years of daily intake of 1 mg of CLONAZEPAM.
loved the video learned a lot
Was just studying this topic for one of my pharm classes and this shows up in my recommendations. The algorithm is spot on.

Benzodiazepines are highly addictive, if dr recommends this to you get a new dr!. Excercise, eating right and check bloodwork for imbalance deficiencies before taking such drugs!.
Thank you! Exactly.
🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️ you guys are so silly lol, nice job
2 mill subs wow
What would you recommend for sleep? I'm on a .5 Alprazolam per night and have been for years. I took it for insomnia as nothing else seemed to work. But of course it really didn't work for long either. I'm also on Carbamazepine, 800mg. Gabapentin,600mg. Baclofen,30mg. Metoprolol,25 mg. 3x a day and Benadryl 2 x a day. The first 3 are for Trigeminal Neuralgia. The Metoprolol is for P.O.T.S. and the Benadryl is OTC for sleep, but isn't working.
I am having similar issues. I posted my condition in comments. Hope you find a way to get off these psychiatric meds. They alter the brain chemistry and we end up being dependent or addicted. I don't know if I am dependent or addicted. I am always trying to taper but end up on square one. Horrible
Do u still taking them?any side effect?im on benzo for 5mth now on off
Somebody please help me 😔
sleepytime extra tea.
Do not recommend these drugs please.... It's not worth it!!!! Learn how to understand your emotions instead of trying to cover them up. Highly addictive and very quickly addictive and withdrawals is not something I'd wish on my enemies
Amen.

Instead of benzos is there anything else that can be taken, natural herbs or vitamins

Ashwagandha, Valerian, 5HTP, GABA, tryptophan are some options you could look at.

Load up on all the B vitamins. Specifically SYNTHETIC B1 taken with some sort of fat.
And get your vitamin D levels checked. Should be in the range of 60 to 80.
Good luck! And believe me, stay away from benzo’s.
Yes holy Basil works great! One I take is on Amazon by Himilaya company.
Don't judge everyone who takes these meds. Some people actually do need them for medical reasons. But you MUST take them responsibly, and be monitored, and follow all the guidelines. I'm a little surprised you did not mention that grapefruit increases the amount of effect of benzos, so avoid any kind of grapefruit if you are taking them. If you were to mix benzos, alcohol and / or grapefruit, you might not wake up.
@@anglenawaller5322 I didn't know that, and it is good to know! We are our own best caretakers, so it's a good idea to see if the guidelines have changed if you are on any medication, but especially those that cause dependency. Know what you are taking, know side effects and bad interactions. Keep current on what does and does not mix. Thank you for this information.
NO ONE is pharmacologically deficient. Try nature. Dur.
New results show that taking benzos daily increases the chance of having alzimer to 80% that shouldn't be allowd if you get that far most people wold die from heart disease I'm a neurologist
You are out of your mind if you try Benzo's
Love You guys 🙋♀️ from Sweden!
So glad you took up this .
He warns....."Addictive and lots of side effects. Two weeks only". Why all the negative comments?

Because those of us that have experienced the hell this substance creates are trying to warn EVERYONE how dangerous they are. We trusted, and believed the same rhetoric he is speaking here. We have the real experience. He does not. There are a few medical professionals who have experienced the hell of getting off them and recovering from the damage. If you don’t want to believe us, find their videos and believe them.
@@user-dg7sy8cz3b everyone knows they should not be used long term. I use them very occasionally, just to get to sleep if Valerian, Melissa, 5HTP, or GABA wouldn't work. And even then, I take the lowest dose available once only.

It's supposed to be two weeks but they always let you stay on them for years and the withdrawal effects are horrific from what I've heard.

Any side effect

Benzo WD kills & destroys lives 💯
They gave me hydroxyzine to deal with an itch they say is from dry skin. Months of oily salve doesn't help. Anyhow, the pills make me sleep for 18 hours. It's disabling. I read about it and it's also a benzo substitute for anxiety.
I take 1 around 3am in hopes of feeling tired. 2 made me feel hungover. I don’t sleep longer than 3-6-8 hrs. It’s very light, but I’ve been taking consistently for over a year. I am happy with it, surprisingly. And this is after ‘10-‘14 on Ambien for sleep.
Try Natrol melatonin plus the L-theanine w/ the Hydroxyine. I do often take Zyrtec w/ it when I’m itchy. Hydroxyine doesn’t help itching, but somehow does help me fall sleep. Zyrtec doesn’t help me fall asleep, but will make me feel sleepy when I am awake...but been on it for so long that I can usually push thru.
You need more internal oils and fats for the dry skin, as well as HYDRATION, which includes adding minerals - especially a good salt - to your drinking water.
Could you talk to your prescriber about giving you an antihistamine that won't make you as drowsy? I know hydroxyzine is very effective for anxiety, especially as it pertains to sleep. But for itching I'm sure that there's other options that aren't quite as sedative.
@@wawabbit Thanks. I crave fat. Meat, eggs, and dairy. Not so much plant oils. I eat a quart of yoghurt (I could only find 9% fat this week) a day. I'll cook and eat a pound of beef then cook 6-9 eggs in the fat the next morning. I probably drink too much coffee, so hydration is a problem sometimes. It's a trance state that makes me forget. It comes from staring at paint canvases and at aluminum siding for 10 hours a day wielding a 3800 psi 4 gallons per minute pressure washer for 35 years. Time flies for me sometimes. Next thing I know it's dark. I need reminding to eat sometimes.
Mindfulness helps a lot. The guide book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels is a great resource.
Have had panic disorder since early 20's. It's horrible. So many in my family have it😔
As long people don't abuse them they help.
Me too ! my panic attacks started in early 20 s. I have been on-and off lorazepam for a long time (more off than on ) it really helps when things just become overwhelming.
My Elderly parent occasionally needs Lorazapam for anxiety
0.5 ml takes forever to take effect then when it does blammo! She’s out for 24 hours 😬🥴🤔
Sounds excessive 😳
That's what they do to people in nursing homes.
@@oambitiousone7100 that’s the dosage
It’s only on rare occasion but the same effect every time
@@wawabbit 🤷🏻♀️
I've been on that. I think cutting it in half would be better. Or quarters and take a quarter every half hour until she feels it's enough. Some people are just really sensitive. I've had a 6th of that .5 dosage be enough for me. Literally a crumb.
He looks like Joel Osteen’s brother
WTF, benzos give me energy and improve my coordination. They don’t work like this guy says on me. For instance during my colonoscopy I woke up and asked for my glasses so I could watch the screen. I get so much energy I can dance for hours and in high heels. I wish they weren’t addictive. Would total improve my quality of life.
I prefer magic mushroom it’s all natural and safe to use without any addiction possibilities, I get mine delivered discreetly from an online vendor and they have the best psychedelic products, DMT, LSD and more
*Formulah11*
I will get allot of hate here unfortunately but please look into kratom when coming off benzos or opioids. Makes hell more manageable. General anxiety disorder will be once treated with psychocybin.
Love the channel ❤ arthritis sucks when it kicks in in late 20-is and now 41 and just tired of this.
How about something your body can actually use. You know,. like vitamins; minerals; amino acids.......stuff that comes from food maybe. Everyone is so intent on PHARM and fake pharm.
Arthritis can be helped by getting minerals balanced.
A long as you doing what you can to get off from that crap more power too ya even if I wouldn't.
Massive doses of B vitamins (B100 complex) to start with helped me with the arthritis.
For the nerve damage I found synthetic B1 taken with a fat such as olive oil helps almost immediately.
Good luck!
This was a great video-esp during the pandemic. Thank-you. Could you do a vid that explains how benzodiazepines affect the brain (specific areas) and the half-life of it.
BENZO = NO JOKE, WORSE THAN HEROINE
I find patients are much less likely to misuse or develop tolerance if they take their dose at regular times, not PRN. Certain people given benzos prn wind up popping them whenever they feel a little anxious.
So basically victim blaming those of us that took them as prescribed and were harmed by them.
Nice!
Ask yourself honestly if you would ever prescribe them for your children. Your attitude perpetuates a narrative that is destroying lives.
I have been taking CLONAZEPAM for 20 years.
Clinicians are NOT 'very careful!!!!!" NOT!!

@@CapysGardenShop Oh, it's OK for you to say a particular drug is "evil," yet you nonchalantly mock other people for giving their opinions on what they've gone through with other drugs. Good for you, Hypocrite.
@@CapysGardenShop p.s. Sleep paralysis is due to magnesium deficiciency. How do I know this? Because I had it. I did research on what it IS, and found the cure - Mg. The body goes into a type of paralysis when asleep so you don't go flailing around when you dream. As you wake up, if you're deficient in minerals you may end up waking up before the body releases the paralysis. It is quite logical. ALL the drugs you take will deplete minerals...............and so you'll need more drugs to combat the side effects of that............and so on and so forth.
Unfortunately you will.
Good luck! Your going to need it.
My doctors logic i asked him to changed 4 Prozac for something else 4 Venlafaxine it was easy to me to get out of benzos but 4 venla was so hard
Y'all have helped so much. I wish you well.
chris the pharmacist explained everything so well. great video!
Good talk good topic especially now
Agreed.
This drug should not even be on the market or given to anyone! The suffering has been horrendous, me including.

These almost killed Jordan Peterson.... you guys are complete sellouts for this.... unfollowing

@@valeriefromoregon You have problems.
@@valeriefromoregonWell said. There are so many judgments passed on people who have pain and need opioids, or have such crazy anxiety they'd rather die, but very few talk about their crappy diets that kill more people than any other single problem in America. That would mean sacrifice.
Benzodiazepines are among some of the most dangerous medications out there in terms of addiction potential. Anxiety disorders are highly treatable. Cognitive behavioral therapy is not always the best treatment modality for these disorders. Many of the anxiety disorders have their genesis in trauma and good trauma treatment can resolve symptoms frequently. This could be somatic-based psychotherapy or EMDR or other psychotherapy‘s that I actually treat the nervous system over activation and re-process trauma so that it doesn’t produce symptoms. These medicines are almost never helpful beyond extremely short term crisis use their downsides far outweigh their benefits. 30 year career psychologist posting.
Nutrition is key to get anxiety under control. Stress causes mineral depletion, and makes the brain not work correctly in order to deal with the past trauma. For example. A holistic approach then.
Do you think psychedelics could help in that way the last part sounded pretty much like their effect I belong to MAPS .ORG last time I checked they where at 90% recovery from pstd, depression etc using MDMA most likely regular users won't be benefitted that much to put it in one line
It's pure MDMA a normal dose of course it relases serotonine disables fear to memories mirror neurons are at it's peak overwhelming feelings of empathy and love understanding example most people that suffered from sexual abuse traumas are unconsciously remember it clearly due to the nature of mirror neurons they find themselves on the abuser body in their memory and feel sad that person had to do that some imagine tons of situations that would make someone be like that. Most people go through the same process of emphaty and understanding it's not just amphetamine excitation eveything combined and without having the unpredictability of classical psychedelics
