Good luck in your journey. I also take magnesiun to help in my xanax withdrawal. I use cbd oil when things get really ruff and it helps. But like you, i try not to take anything that will alter my mind. After 30 years on xanax and 70 years old it is not easy. But i am determined to make it. I am 1 mg. Away from being free from this. Good luck and prayers
I took clonazepam for 3 yrs 2mg at bed prescribed. I tapered for 8 months dry cutting i jumped off at .125 roughly. It has been over 2 yrs off that shit and I'm still fucked up...BAD. I feel crippled at this point. This shit is unreal. I hope no one ever has to go thru this. Its a for REAL horror story. LORD willing this turns around for me soon.
Im going through it right now. 4 days in and i get mine tomorrow with all intentions to taper off. Ive been in them for about 5 It is hell. Im all in. I also take kratom like a madman, toss and wash. I was finished my my bottle 2 weeks in. 2mg of klonopin perscried a day. I just grabbed a bottle of mag citr. I have also month after month been finishing 2 others scripts so i have no idea how many mg im taking a month or day for that matter. Ive been hospitalized once.
I take valerian root with passion flower and it works really well. I've been off my meds for 3 days now and I'm not experiencing bad withdrawals like bodily chills, headaches, etc. I'm also drinking a relaxation tea which contains licorice, passion flower, valerian, capskull? I forgot what it's called.. and it has a bunch of other good anxiety aids included..
Hi. I'm in the same boat. taking clonopin for 30 years i am now 76 and don't know if its worth it. my biggest fear is not being able to get it and not being able to sleep. lot's of ruminations from childhood ptsd. memory is not so good either. started taking magnesium glycinate. helps a lot with sleep. i also take lexapro 20 mg. i was glad to find your chanel so i know im not alone. hope you will conquer and i will check in for your progress.
God bless your journey brother. 15 years of benzos is no joke, Jesus is guiding you through this. I’ve only been taking them for about 2 1/2 month and already weaning off.
Hey it's been almost 4 months since my klonopin withdrawal. I was on 0.5 mg for three years. I went cold turkey. I am going through insomnia due to which I am not healing well. I got gaba powder. Do you think it's ok to use gaba powder? I tried melatonin it doesn't work much. I hope you have healed well.
@@brianinghram12 I take caps. I'd imagine tea would be much better. How I use it is open the cap in my mouth and add water and swish around for a minute before swallowing. Seems to work better that way.
@@GradySmith33 might try that. Im About to order some kava root and make some the traditional way. I usually use liquid extracts . But been wanting to try making my own. Ty
Sould send me links to magnesium and the gaba..what ones EXACTLY you use and for how long i would Super appricate it.still trying to kick kratom all the way.its hard!:/
Thanks for sharing about gaba helping with your kratom taper. I just started using kratom about 4 mos ago, am in the process of trying to taper off, got a scale from amazon. Am at about 15 gms/day. Is there a best way to taper off this stuff?? Sometimes it’s tempting to take more, trying not to!
@@jellybean378 I understand exactly about being tempted to take more you gotta just be disciplined and stick with you routine . I'm doing a long term taper so each week I'll try and take a gram off my normal doses. And continually each week just try to cut a gram out at a time. So if you take 8grams a dose 4 times a day then next week take 7 grams 4 times a day and so on. It will be alot easier on you. Thanks a and good luck you got this.
From your experience from benzodiazepines how hard will tapering off aprazolam be I’m stuck on 2mg i have used it for 10 months started on a low dose as of .25 for a couple months when up to 1 mg for another couple months now I’m at 2mg for like the past month I try going cold turkey started felling really anxious panic attacks and sweaty hands cbd oil has helped a lot from ending at the hospital over a panic attack any guidance on how to tapper off safely?
I appreciate the videos you upload keep up the good work I been on klonopin for 6 years I’m 23 years old and I’m trying to quit the benzos I tried Kratom and it’s helping as a substitute but it would be nice to not have to be dependent on anything and it’s been years since I haven’t felt myself
I'm in the same boat right now. I'ts very scary. Klonopin is worse than xanax opiates and everything else when it comes to withdraw. I know when you have anxiety or panic attacks this kind of comment gets people scared. But remember you're never alone and you're safe. meditate, drink lots of water, pray, stay way from caffeine, make yourself eat, because the withdrawals will eat you away to nothing with not eating, not sleeping, and puking everything you drink. and powerade has niacin another supplement to help with the side effects.
Im so proud of u! Benzos are a bitch to get off im prescribed 2mlg xanax but im down to 1mg. Unfortunately last tues night there was a drive by shootn right nextdoor n they shot my neighbors 10yr old niece in the head. Shes doin real good btw. I couldnt sleep or eat for 3 days bc i have an 6 n 8 yr old in my home n the anxiety is horrible but i went to CVS n got kava kava n valerian root bc im a recovering heroin n crack addict. I did use a lil extra kratom last week but ive been talkn to god/allah bc im so grateful my kids are safe. Im so glad u keep it real man bc anxiety is real. Btw i live in inkster mi, I heard u mention in ur last video that ur kids live in the dirty mitten, plz tell ur family to be very careful if havn to travel through inkster bc our city is litterly worse than Detroit. I got my 1st night of good sleep last night since the shooting, i cant afford to move, plz keep me n my family in ur prayersn dont forget to tell god thank u for protecting my daughter's. Ill see if i can find u sum good CBD at my cannabis dispo in sw Detroit
Hey Grady......for a high quality and lower cost CBD try Lazarus Naturals. The lower cost is due to the type of extraction process, and that they are a company who appear to be in business to really help make a great product that’s affordable. I’ve tried a few CBDs and Lazarus was definitely my favorite.
GABA the supplement? Not gabapentin? If so, that's really bad news. I thought it was perfectly safe. I wonder if I could use the gaba and then wean slowly off that. Hmmm. Thanks for the info
The fact that the thought of god not approving you being on it tells you all you need to know about it.lol still sucks trying to live without the one thing that was Supposed to fix the one problem you are now worse for..if that makes any sense lmao
Ya ... anxiety as a whole sucks. I'm hoping to just find natural ways to beat it. It feels like it's a deficiency of vitamins or minerals that's causing it.
. i know im the same way.but i feel like there is A billion parts of the brain and alot of them have alot to do with anxiety and its more of working on Several areas of the brain to be able to Even Slightly Help it! Im no brain surgeon but i know we dont fully understand it.and everybody is different.lol idk i wish i did cuz im so sick of having it myself.i dont want to rely on Anything to make me feel normal

You ever taken kava for anxiety?
Yes! Love it! I find if I use it everyday then it loses effectiveness for me. Forgot to mention it in my video.
Grady smith do you make your own kava or buy caps or extracts? Give me a link ty.
@@brianinghram12 I take caps. I'd imagine tea would be much better. How I use it is open the cap in my mouth and add water and swish around for a minute before swallowing. Seems to work better that way.

@@GradySmith33 did u feel depersonalization in ur withdrawals please ans I m 159 days sober now
Sould send me links to magnesium and the gaba..what ones EXACTLY you use and for how long i would Super appricate it.still trying to kick kratom all the way.its hard!:/
I placed links for the stuff i'm using in the description on this video. Any questions, let me know.
@@GradySmith33 i appricate it thanks alot
Heck ya man, so stoked when i see people kick benzos. you're a beast! sobriety is the shit! like you say, how God made you. rock on!
Generally speaking, you mentioned days 5 and 6 after a cut. Do symptoms last the full two days or off and in
In Jesus name!!! You will be fine.
Grady, thank you. I could really use your prayers 🙏🏼
I've been using gaba with my kratom taper. It seems to be helping with my anxiety and sleep at night. Might consider the magnesium

How much and how long were you on benzos
How are you now? Please update us
My most recent video is an update. 😊🙏
8 months off Klonopin and since tolerance I developed constant pvcs ugh horrific 😫 hope they go away soon as I get up to 3% a day
I've been using a beta blocker to help with that. But ya ... I get palpations without it and it's really uncomfortable.
@@GradySmith33 yea I've tried beta blockers and ccbs unfortunately they don't work for me . They hit the hardest when my hr is resting ..
