I did my taper over almost a 2 year period. I've now been entirely off since February. I'm still having some w/d symptoms, but so grateful to be off!!!
Daily exercise, music, a lot of patience. It does get better. 10 months clean little or no anxiety. I do take gaba 750 mlgms daily. Worked for me, most of the time I feel amazing. I say go for it!!!!!!! Stay positive!
How could you exercise during a benzo withdrawal?? I'm considering trying to taper off of xanax but there's no way I could exercise. Impossible. Too dizzy.
@@nicholaswilliams8470 How are you doing now how do you feel how much were you on how long did it take you to taper I really need to know I'm starting my microtape are today I'm on 10 mg of xanax per scribed by my doctor
I would like to see a follow-up video. I'm currently helping my brother taper of Klonopin. He is unable to work. He is tapering under the supervision of his psychiatrist, who isn't much help. I'm researching on the net for anything I can find. I've downloaded/purchased Dr. Ashton's book and will be begin reading it tonight. Thank you
I'm SO proud of you! KEEP IT GOING! You look AMAZING!!!!! Stay persistent and driven...with those two qualities, you will win this battle and accomplish anything you set your mind to!
someone said to me why are you coming off these its making you mad and i realised i dont know except i was having a bad time on them so i still am coming off i cut to 3 2mg a day from taking whatever i needed which i have no idea what that was maybe ten maybe 8 so tell me why i am going through this what happens if i succeed and all the horrid things that the meds hid become fresh answers please
Did you work during your taper? I want to slowly taper off of 1 mg of klonopin per day. How do you accurately cut the dose each time you lower. A pill cutter doesnt seem to work?
Just an odd observation. About 30 seconds into this vid I remarked to myself you looked as if you had gone through a significant amount of weight-loss. I have an acute and weird relationship with my own body weight BTW. I had dropped 60 lbs between ages 19-20 when I was honestly healthy i.e. no meds (my dad always said it was baby fat anyway). Last year I dropped 25 lbs through alcohol detox/intro to xanax after having gained 25 through drinking my way through my mother's cancer and death from there of. I was put on xanax to mitigate severe DT's and haven't been able to stop without severe rebound DT like symptoms. I have an appt. in a few days with a Dr. saying they have the know how and technique to taper me off but I haven't gotten my hopes up....actually, I have had little hope in anything since I became dependent on a benzo, as well as the substandard care I have received as a "worthless druggy" Anyway ,Peace and health to you T.B.F.Guru

Look on Facebook for the benzo groups!! They can & will help if you still need it.

It's a process of getting clean and relapsing for a lot of people. Usually it's kind a non-linear path.
Glad your alive and well..
Thank you for sharing.
Peace be with you..

Looking in vain for videos were you actually talk about the withdrawals you experienced.
Look on Facebook for benzo groups, they have a LOT of information & can provide answers & support.
Ok. Thanks :)
benzo withdrawl can cause seizures or death in serious cases, but they arnt as painful an prolonged as opiate withdrawl.
Wanna bet money on THAT
U wrong bro. Benzo the worst cause it takes sooo long for the ppl it effects.
Wrong.
