MY HATS OFF TO YOU FOR SURVIVING THIS --YOU COULD HANDLE ANYTHING NOW🎉

How can this drug offer us so much relief -and then do the opposite and even worse when we can't get it?

excellent video again. Thank you

Hi Dan, thank you so much for these video, im currently going thru the windows and waves, getting longer and longer windows .. 💪..

Can we have spells of vertigo, dizzi head as a wave after one year off? I had dizziness in my earlier months, but it improved gradually, but recently I felt severe dizziness with vertigo, can it be due to withdrawal up and down?

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, my wife is currently on gabapentin for the past 1 year and recently she has been experiencing a lot of breathing difficulties when she takes the pills, we tried to get a device from the neurologist and even went to the ER but no help offered, so now we are planning to tipper off the drugs gradually but we are a little worried a bout her nerves pains may come back and if it does what could be a good substitute for it?

They destroy way more lives than they help

I think one size doesn't fit all, everyone is different, their bodies react differently. I am taking a small amount of THC/CBD with magnesium, it puts me to sleep.

Waking, sleeping, dreaming, is all we really are.

Thanks Dan, Your voice is needed. Unfortunately, Most of the psychiatrist here in the United States, do not know how to deal with a benzodiazepine full circle, meaning ….somebody being put on them, and somebody needing to be safely taken off of them. Here’s what happened when I was asking to come off a certain blue pill. First, I was asked why, and then I was interrogated untold. I was safe and I needed to remain on my medication. I went back in three weeks later and told this particular Doctor I was going to get pregnant because I was safe right? Everything changed at that moment, the doctor said oh no, you can’t do that! And then he finally admitted to me. He did not know how to take me off. He was never told how to take people off. He could only write the prescription not take you off of it.

Hi Dan, it has been a while since you posted your last video. I think people like us need updates how we feel especially when it comes to benzo withdraw. Honestly, it's so so hard to taper off or even go cold turkey. Hope to see your videos. Love 🥰 from Bangladesh

Thank you so much! I am in such a crazy brain fog that I forgot my morning liquid dose of medication yesterday so I think that had me in a serious spiral. Not that I’m not in the spiral anyway very grateful that you’re on here.🙏

I can do today 😢I’m tapering it’s 6:00 am

Dont blame how the doctors proscribe it easily because you could't be an adult and find out the they are meant for shot time periods or very rare situations, not every day for 13 years. Now guys like me that need benzos for vary rare occasions of anxiety cant get em. Because the doctors dont want to proscribe them thanks to all the abusers of the medication

Can you do a video about plateauing after the acute stage.....I'm at 5 months ....and went threw akathesia 3 months straight then felt like a base ball bat hit back of brain. Stuck with symptoms excruciating brain pain, no one talks of brain pain at the back, neuropathy began 12th week after 3 months straight akathesia insomnia........I feel I have stopped making any progress? Still tapering on 3.5mg of valium been in hospital 2x.....severe breathing issues Heart issues and also panic attacks as I made the drops from 5 mg to 3.75mg to 3.5mg of valium....I just seem to of plateau no improvement from 50% mark....and also feel hopeless doom and gloom....just awful.... Was tapering from ativan or lorazapam had insomnia first 3 months Was on ativan lorazapam 1.25mg 2 months 3 months 1mg Ct and ended up in er Given valium to taper. First 2 months 10mg valium Last 2 months 5mg valium Started the drop from 5mg 4 weeks ago today.

I was on effexor 75 mg for a few years. Gained almost 30 lbs. and it wasnt really helping. Tapered down over 3 mos. Was literally breaking open the capsule and counting the number of little white balls on my finger tip. If I tried to go too fast I was miserable. After that I was fine. Will not go on A-D ever again! There are too many natural ways to help with anx/depr.

It’s difficult when family and friends don’t understand what we’re going through and expect us to get on with life like everyone else.

I was placed on gabapentin 3200 mg total daily for sudden onset neuropathy after respiratory failure. After three years i decided to slow taper off. I have no privious mental health or addiction issues. I tapered by 400mg weekly for a total of 10 weeks tapering. I experienced sleepless nights, anxiety and restless leg syndrome. I think of how hard it was for me with no mental health issues i cant fathom how hard it must be for others. I still have an evening here and there of anxiety and restlessness but much better. My brain definitely feels more clear. My neurologist wants me to take lyrica but i would rather deal with the neuropathy pain in my legs and be anxiety free. God bless you and thank you for sharing your journey.

No. I 100% KNOW I can't heal and it breaks my heart for my little boy who's now a man and my husband who fully deserves a well wife

The positive side is that this situation makes us remember we are nothing without GOD. The strong will to help other people is very real.

With that cocktail or meds no wonder you experienced phycosis.

.5 mg or 5mg a day?

You are not going crazy,took me almost 3 yrs. to feel normal, hang in there it does get better
