About Me:
My name is Rebekah Farmer. I am an overcomer of over 10 autoimmune diseases, chronic Lyme disease, and a chronic CDiff infection that almost took my life.
I am a full time health and life coach. My goal is to efficiently help as many people as possible and to spread the message of HOPE.
God is Healer, meat is medicine!
Benzo-di-az-a-pine.
I can't believe how long it took for someone to tell me this 😅🙏
I was on meth for a number of years. I know it did me great harm and and the after effects probably still do. I am convinced the healing is ongoing though.
SO happy and proud of you for quitting it. Keep it up brother! 💪❤️🙏
Anyone watching....don't start benzodiazapine medications!! If you do, please don't take over 2 weeks or you will, you will regret it! I was on ever increasing benzodiazapines from doctors for 10 years. Went cold turkey in n inpatient setting and came close to dying. Had sezuires, no sleep, and incredible rebound anxiety that was unimaginable for 3 weeks. Almost didn't make it........but I did. That was 5 years ago. It was worth it. Still some cognitive deficits that I am hoping ketogenic fueling can help improve. Don't give up
🙏🙏🙏💖
I took Ativan for 9 days and had withdrawals, intrusive thoughts, rebound anxiety, very restless, depersonalization, brain fog. Insomnia, Slight Muscle twitching. Don’t take benzodiazepines period. Maybe a emergency use every blue moon.

Glad you survived. Did you have "brain lock" like you didn't understand a simple thing and become overwhelmed of any normal things and can't understand that people can do normal things and live their lives normally? And did you feel depersonalization and derealisation and disconnected from people and enviroment and loved ones.
I'm tapering (used as prescriped, was prescriped a big amount after trauma and no warnings) and suffer brain lock every day and am isolated a lot because I tell my hell all the time to my loved ones and feel like I'm in a different reality from other people. My brain just shuts down. Please if you had any similar feelings it would give me hope that I can survive, I fear I have some permanent brain damage, mri was fine.
Thank you and all the best.
@@lauriina85 I would like to offer some advice if I could....while I don't understand the brainlock phenomenon I did seem to have some neurological deficits that were quite apparent in the early days but have dissipated greatly over time. It does take time for the brain receptors to begin operating again with some semblance of normalcy, but just be as patient as you can. It may take some time, but healing can occur. Everyone may respond somewhat differently to the cessation these neurotoxic agents from their brain chemistry......your mileage may differ.....but you will make progress overtime, however slowly or rapidly that may be. My case may be different due to the sudden withdrawal of the offending agents compared to more gradual taper ie. seizures, hallucinations, complete insomnia and soforth, I do not know. Regardless I am sure you are suffering your own forms of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing as you try to get off this merry-go-round from hell. You can do this, and it is worth it, and you will have many positive benefits over time. Just be patient and keep your doctor informed. They could be an ally in this if they choose to be. You need to have some objective guidelines to keep you safe. Try to resist any advice that you must increase your dose or just remain on this drug forever unless you are literally at deaths door. Also please stop with relating to your loved ones the hell you are experiencing....people will not be able to relate to this as it is so nightmarish, few can comprehend. I would suggest you pour your heart out to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through all this. He can help you navigate this as well as anything you may face through this or any other fiery trial, and get you home safe! Don't let go, and don't give up! Blessings upon your journey and efforts to be free!
Thank you Rebekah for sharing! I'm the one who asked for you to do this. I'm currently doing a water taper off Lorazapam. 30 days in today...so far so good. I do have some symptoms but they're manageable at this point. I'd love accountability coaching but I know I can't afford it. Anyway....thank you again! And I'm so proud of you. 💜
I am so proud of you! Sometimes accountability can just come from friends or family members who are trusted and supporting you. Keep it up!
I'd like to know more about your water taper so I looked it up online. One source recommended switching to diazepam and to taper offer that instead of the benzo you're on. Reason being diazepam has a longer half life and can reduce taper symptoms. Interesting. My NP recommended a 4 week taper schedule. That is way too fast. But I think (hope) she may he open to a slow taper. I want off this med, but it has to happen slowly.
Omg..all three of those pills are the worst ones! I knew how bad benzos were and still got hooked. Im Xanax and am dealing with an evil Dr.
Getting a new one in a month.
I pray this new dr.tapers me correctly.
🙏🙏❤️
Oh my goodness! I didn’t know you struggled with this! You’ve been through and triumphed through so many things!! God is good. My goal is to wean off both Nexium and Ambien!! Been on both of them for about 12-15 years 😢😭
So so many side effects!!
This helps me believe I can do this too!!! ❤
You absolutely can sister!! 💖
Yup, 20+ years on Clonazepam, I titrated myself down also, then stopped. Side effects were horrific!
Same, 19 years ok Clonazepam. Got titrated down too fast in a hospital and sent home. Devastating withdrawal for a solid 3 years. I'm five years out now and feel like I'll never be completely free of the damage, but carnivore is helping.
HI I'm currently tapering from 1.5mg Ativan took for 8 years I have a lot of symptoms but pretty mane gable I'm down to .12 meaning I cut a 1mg pill 3 times when should I jump off and by jumping off is that when u get the worst symptoms I already have enough symptoms just asking
Hello! There is no black-and-white plan. I cannot make any recommendations unless we are working together and I know so much more about you 💖 Please feel free to email me at rcfarmer18@gmail.com if you are interested in health coaching.
Rebekah tell me did you have a benzo belly after stopping Benzos?
Definitely
I am 47 days of Benzos and 32 days on a carnivore diet. How long did it take for you to see some improvements and full resolution with the Benzo belly? By the way you are a real inspiration keep up the good work. :D@@rebekahheishman-tailoredke8939
@@djoleeee9 when I went full carnivore Id say about 2 months before most of the digestive issues were resolved.
Hi, did you felt "brain lock" on benzo or tapering or after?
Like you don't understand a simple thing and become overwhelmed of any normal things and can't understand that people can do normal things and live their lives normally?
I started to suffer it when I was prescriped a big amount of benzo after trauma and had terrible panic attacks and doctor didn't warn me.
I had lived healthy active social life and now i'm alone mostly because I tell my hell all the time to my loved ones and feel like I'm in a different reality from other people. I'm normally confident active social person and now when I go to the store to get food I feel depersonalization and derealisation. I can't cook. I can't see my partner, just few moments a week. I love to exercise and if I try to walk and run brainlock is ruing it and I feel like my brain just shuts down.
I had two tapers went badly wrong too quickly.
Now year tapering ahead with diazepam and Ashton manual and have suffered this brain lock and other symptoms for 1,5 years and have no power left but I want this drug off of me and have my good life back.
I fear I have permanent mental brain damage and I won't ever understand things and being able to function normally.
My doctor says I have tolerance and this drug is making me sick and more anxious and I agree and she thinks when I'm enough long time off of benzo my anxiety will get easier and brain lock will go away. Thank you if you can answer if you had feeling your brain didn't work nornelly and daily tasks were hard. I need hope. Thank you. Hope you all the best.
Yes I did, every day of the withdrawal. That is a very normal symptom and it is not forever! I would be thrilled to help you if you're interested in health coaching and getting through that. Don't give up! 💖💖💖
@@rebekahheishman-tailoredke8939 ❤ You made me almost cry. You really felt that same thing in your brain? I am every minute in constant fear I am brain damaged and can't ever again understand when people talk and do normal things.
I can't imagine you said it so sure that it is witdrawl symptom.
I had year ago just once few weeks of relief, even if it was chemical relief, but one doctor did crossover from oxazepam to diazepam 10 mg (I was in very bad withdrawl symptoms, one rude doctor sent me to rehab center, I have never been even drunk and later doctor who works with patients who have alcohol, drugs or benzo etc problems said I'm not an addict, I have dependency and I shouldn't have been sent to rehab center, I had tapered before that on my own a little bit. It was awful experience and they took 30 mg of oxazepam off in a week and I didn't sleep, could barely speak and saw a doctor outside the rehab center and were supposed to get back to rehab center for a week but when the doctor saw me she said I was in danger, my heart rate was too high and also blood pressure and she sent me to hospital where was this doctor who did crossover from oxazepam to diazepam) and brain lock went away and my feeling that my head, arms and legs were paralysed went away, I got feeling of relief (I know it is stronger and that is why it helped) I got home, I could sleep and have normal mornings in peace and I had developed agoraphobia (normally don't have it) and still forced myself to walk and little run and I felt good for the first time after the trauma (my 16 year old dog had to put to sleep in summer 2021 and I had terrible panic attacks and they continued for months multiple times a day, that is why I was prescriped a big amount of oxazepam, but the amount was big just in few weeks and no warnings and I didn't have better thinking in that panic that this is not right.) I went to get food and after couple of times I felt back myself. I could start to cook and be with my partner and mom and other people. I was totally normal, no panic attacks. I had normal relationship with my partner, we exercised, cooked together, went for shopping etc.
I was so sure I will get rid off this drug. I saw doctor read Ashton manual (I had seen it but not read it and there is a mention that after 20 mg of diazepam taper should be 1 mg per week or two and I had more) and I trusted that the taper was slow enough. Few weeks went well but then all in the sudden I got panic attack, puking, brain lock, insomnia. And then they rised it to 12 mg, no help.
In spring I was one month without benzo and in hospital and they tapered me to zero straight and I had terrible panic attacks and withdrawl symptoms and brain lock still and after one month rude doctor said I couldn't have any withdrawl symptoms and I got to home very sick and not able to function. Nobody supported me to stay in zero and said that I'm in bad withdrawl symptoms and I'm just in the beginning of healing and one doctor prescriped me klonopin to get me relief for a while and then taper but it didn't help.
Now after six months of klonopin and suffering I said to my doctor that I think I suffer withdrawl even don't taper and want to taper with Ashton manual and she was willing to read it and we started few weeks ago. I feel awful. I wake up every morning to hell and death and no brain and feel I can't do anything and fear I won't survive year tapering after 1,5 year suffering this allready.
I have constant headache and neck pain. I slept year ago when I was few weeks fine just with 25 mg of quetapine (I have slept with that years and been normal) and they added 7,5 mg of imovane in the rehab center but I didn't sleep with them when I was in bad withdrawl symptoms of oxazepam. When I got 10 mg of diazepam I started to sleep. Now I was sleeping for half year until the beginning of summer just 1-3 hours and my new doctor prescriped me 300 mg of quetapine, I have dropped it to 200 mg and want to drop it even more when I get permission from my doctor because now we have to be careful that I don't start to not sleep) and 20 mg of temazepam. But I sleep coma sleeps 😥 I had 2,5 mg of klonopin and now i have 0,25 mg + 0,5 mg and 30 mg of diazepam (with Ashton manual) and total amount of diazepam is about 45 mg 😥 Back to squere one when i was prescriped 90 mg of oxazepam just in few weeks 😥 We will drop klonopin of soon and then year tapering with diazepam. My doctor is very smart and kind. She hadn't read Ashton manual but did it besause I asked and she promised to me that she won't put any other anti psychotic medication on me (in the hospital in spring there was this rude doctor and she forced me to take three different anti psychotic medication even I wasn't in psychosis) and she said that while I'm in tapering she won't do any new diagnosis (I had few in the hospital and oy new doctor deleated them) and she said she understands that when (if) I get to zero that it can take a year or so to heal.
I'm sorry if I tell same things more than once. I have never been so lonely and scared. Living like this life is not worth of living and I want my old self back and my brain. I fear so much that I have a permanent brain damage. But you are quite sure that those feelings I told are from benzo, tolerance and tapering and that can go away if I get off of this drug and be off more than a month? I feel like I just watch life from another world and try to reach to normal reality and can't.
I can't afford coaching now even if I really needed that. Thank you that you answer and said this brain not functioning and making even more anxious and horror to every minute should be normal reaction with benzo and tapering. If I didn't have thst constant fear it would be much more "easier" to tolerate other withdrawl symptoms.
I'm sorry if there are words typing wrong, I'm from Finland.
Thank you so much for giving me hope that this may not be permanent brain damage, I can't live with brain like this forever. I will try to repeat it when I wake up and try to convince this will go away if I will survive the fight with this drug.
All the love to you. ❤
@@rebekahheishman-tailoredke8939 Did you fear that there is a brain damage and did it scare you all day long? Was it hard to be with people and understand what they are talking. I'm so sorry that I ask these but you said so straight that you understood what I mean. I wake up every morning to hell and death. I can't be with my partner or other people. My life is just suffering and fearing I really have this brain lock permanently and I can't live like this.
I would have a great life ahead.
Year ago brain lock went away when I was in bad withdrawl symptons of oxazepam and doctor did crossover from oxazepam to diazepam 10 mg. Lock went away, I could sleep and have normal mornings in peace and exercise and be with people normally. I was so happy and sure that I will get off of this drug but taper was too quick and went badly wrong. Few weeks went good with just physical symptoms but could function. And after then brain lock came back and nothing has helped. Thank you if you have time to answer. I'm fighting for my life.
@@lauriina85 Hello again. Yes, I had similar symptoms and fears.
There is hope for you. It sounds like you could really use more support. Please let me know if you are interested in health coaching. 🙏💖
@@rebekahheishman-tailoredke8939 Thank you for saying that you had those. I'm so exhausted and in constant fear and my life is not worth living like this.
I fear all day mornings because I really wake up in death and can't take a day anymore with this kind of life not being able to understand things and live and missing every social events.
Thank you for your support. I really fear I am brain damaged for life and can't ever again me with my partner and loved ones.
All the best ❤
I’ve been off of them for 4 years now and I’m still disabled w/ seizures. I’m at a loss. I want my life back already!
I am so sorry to hear this. I would be thrilled to help you if you are interested in health coaching.
Hi, I'm desperate. I have this constant brain lock still.
I'm now on 8 mg of valium from 60 mg (klonopin crossover). My brain doesn't function normally and can't understand a simple thing and normal life at all. Even TV commercials are too much to understand.
I had those few good weeks without brain lock over 1,5 years ago when i was crossovered to diazepam first time. Brain lock and panic telling went away. I could be normal active social me. But taper was too quick and went badly wrong. Since then nothing has helped.
Can you please answer me did you have this bad brain totelly shut down feeling?
I have been without my loved ones for two years, my mom and partner bring me food. That is all. I can't be with anybody.
I was in 2021 spring very social, exercise a lot, eating healthy and so grateful of everyday life things.
I can't take this anymore.
I have been tapering third time (once rapid, one ct) for nine months and have months to go. I am homebound, can't function with brain lock. Have bad agoraphobia and dr/dp.
Those all went away when i once had all the witdwal symptoms off having that stabilizing with first crossover to valium ftom oxazepam.
I could exposer myself to store and walks and it helped right away.
I can't do anything. I have so bad anxiety from this.
Have you ever heard someone having totally brain shut down all the time and constant panic telling because of that condition?
I fear I'm the worst and permanent brain lock damage and cns and GABA damage. Thank you.
