I am here today after a 4 year taper I started after watching your videos. I am just shy of 90 days 100 percent benzo free. While I am dealing with super symptoms I am alive and I will make it. I never thought I could do this but everytime I was discouraged with no hope in sight I watched your channel. It gave me enough hope to keep chipping away. I don’t know you but I know your story. I will never forget the hope you channel gave me along the way. From the bottom of my benzo belly I thank you so much.... Shawn
I was taking them for anxiety and not being able to sleep and I realized after getting off of the benzos and through the withdrawal etc... the benzos were hurting me and bringing on massive anxiety. I went to my Dr. followed his instructions on getting off the benzos and slowly but surely completely got off of them. You cannot stop taking them cold turkey, I tried. It took me about a month and a half of 2 week long reduced dose intervals. Everyone's story is different that was just mine. I was on 1 mg a day for 3 years.
How long was your O ordeal In other words how long did it take you to get to where you're at right now I'm on 8 mg xanax for 9 years and I do not plan ever coming out of the hum and going through withdraw I will not survive
+Linas Laukevicius I was prescribed 1 mg of clonazepam in the beginning then I ended up switching over to 1mg klonopin (sometimes the generic did not work as well). I stayed on that same dose over the course of 11ish years, switching back and forth from the generic to the brand name. There was a point when I was taking 2 mg to help me sleep but I it wasn't for long. I always tried my best to stick to 1mg as I learned more and more about how addictive klonopin was. I only took extra when I was flying, had a job interview, or something that really kicked up more panic.
hi erin🌞 im so happy for you hunny! ive subscribed, and im going to use your videos toward my own recovery bc our RX history is the same, and im beginning my taper now after 8 years of 1-3mgs clonazepam daily. the agoraphobia at this stage is so bad, i am estranged from friends & family, i only hv my husband. i get the feeling he is sick of me bc my agoraphobia and tbe way i hide out i wish he understood. he has anxiety too, but he smokes weed. i do not want to smoke weed. do you smoke weed for your anxiety being off benzos? im made to feel like a freak for not being "pro-weed". i did it all thru my teens & 20s, and i really think it was what made my anxiety peak hence why i needed benzos in the first place. weed does NOT help my anxiety. i don't understand with how strong a lot of the strains are how it could help ANYbody with anxiety😞. any non-abusive and constructive feedback welcomed🌼

Congratulations! I'm 7 months out now. This has been the worst yet best thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you for making your videos!
How long did you take them?
Kara how long it take you to heal??
Thanks for your videos and I'm sorry you don't post anymore, this is great information.
We're subscribing because you're so positive. I'm ten years and your the first person who made me feel like I could get off it. I'm scared to start.
