Bro I remember that video where you were laying in your bed hurting, I cant lie, that scared the shit out of me. You have come along way and I'm proud of you. Stay strong bro!!
Thank you so much for making videos and congrats on being strong. I'm 90% almost done with my taper of Ativan after 3 years. I have a lot of lower back pain from this!
Hi Melissa , ma'am my dad is a trucker so he sits and sits many hours a day driving a 18 wheeler truck. he started having lower back pain and fellow truckers recommended to him to get a miracle bamboo cushion ( haha i ordered him one online ($20)since he's computer illiterate ) that cushion has really helped him ALOT ! ma'am make sure your wearing cushioned shoes i have a neighbor katherine shes a nice nice lady but shes also kinda heavy ( around 275-300 pounds) she told me a few years ago she had some back pains and i gave her a massage i didnt know how to tell her that the FLAT FLAT / UNCUSHIONED SANDALS she often ofen wore were really bad for her since she was too heavy to be wearing em too long but i told her eventaully she really should wear cushioned shoes like dr shoal shoes she did and shes much much better now ! ma'am *sigh* ive had trouble health most of my life (im 26) and i had a few seizures a year starting in late 2004 and im now disabled with MS (multiple sclerosis) i took xanax briefly before also . around 10 years ago i saw a Dr oz episode and it was about back pain he demonstrated a very very good method to relieve back pain sit upright at chair place the ankle of one foot onto kneecap of other leg stretch out your arms in front of you and lean forward as far as you can hold the outstretched position for 5-10 seconds repeat process with other ankle on other kneecap as far as your taper i really REALLY recommend that YOU do a water titration taper which makes it PAINLESS to do this you need 2 syringes with measurement markings a 5ml syringe and 50 ml syringe fill the 50 ml syringe with water add small dose of ativian to it ( im not sure if it disolves in water but xanax does ) drink the 50ml water / ativian mix after 2 weeks get your 5ml syringe extract 2ml from the ativian / water mix drink the remaining 48 ml water/ ativian mix & discard the 2ml in small syringe . every 2 weeks extract an addictional 2ml of the water / ativian mix . Yes this will take awhile buuut if you jump from a dose thats too high , withdrawls are EXTREME ! i really really regret not doing this method when i qut i felt so bad i wrote a letter to my family i kept in my purse in case if i died . if it doesnt disolve in water youll need to get a small tiny porcelain pestile & mortal (theyre cheap -$5 (syringes were cheap too $-5 online also) insomnia seems to be a big problem when quitting a benzo i read how these vitamins were GOOD to improve sleep vitamin C , D , Magnesium & potassium i took 2 with breakfast had a 1-3 hour nappy 90 minutes later and with light snack at bedtime i took other 2 . i also drank chamomille tea often which SAFELY makes ya feel calm and relaxed it is A MUST that you activate or go for walks i started going for 15 minute walks on the same week i quit xanax and WOW it really really REALLY feels like a miracle how it relieves acute(extreme ) withdrawls & i had very little withdrawls the rest of the day!! avoid these after quitting ativian i didnt drink caffeine until 6 months after qutiting xanax . wait 5+ years for trying any alcohol after quitting ativian ( 6 months after i quit xanax i felt ok i gathered with some friends and I had 6 beers and i felt very well during that time , 8 hours after i drank i felt very VERY HORRIBLE like i felt similar to how i felt 1-2 days after i quit xanax ! and that HORRIBLE FEELING lasted ALL WEEK !!) that chamomille tea is only $1- $2 for a box of 20 tea bags i make my tea this way get a coffee cup fill with water add tea bag to cup place in microwave 1 minute 45 seconds let tea bag sit in cup 20+ minutes before drinking ( avoid caffine , cigarette smoking or excess sugar after that tea those KILL the relaxing affect of that tea ) when its an emergency i have some chamomille tea stems i get a small piece of the stem chew on it and swallow saliva to feel CALM relaxed soon ! i appologize about the long long LONG letter i just really really CARE God bless you Melissa, Katie
All these symptoms we suffer from are ALL from Benzo withdrawal. I am at 27 months; same symptoms as you. We all think it is hard to believe that benzo withdrawal is behind everything, but it is. The CNS, totally broken by withdrawal, controls EVERYTHING in the body. Aside from caffeine and sugar, perhaps, diet has little effect, as long as your nutrition is sound. We are constantly in disbelief that this could hang on so long, we start to blame symptoms on other causes. No. It is all from withdrawal. If there was an answer in diet, we wouldn't be suffering. We try something and coincidentally we enter a window period at the same time. Continue the diet, and on comes a wave. No connection. VERY gradually we are getting better. We need to not obsess about our symptoms and just continue on one day at a time. Time is the answer. Sixslow, thanks so much for the videos, very much appreciated. On balance, you are so much better now than before. The further out we go, the more smaller symptoms feel as bad as earlier symptoms, because we are so mentally exhausted from the long time ripped from our normal selves and lives.

I have exactly what you described in my lower back, pelvis, tailbone, and even my upper back/under the shoulder blade. Really coincidental you mentioning and going through it. Hope it passes for you soon. There's lower back exercises which help and aren't too straining. Anyway, glad to see a new update from you. Congrats on 29 months! And thank you for sharing awareness on the potential damage these drugs can and do cause
@@0827tt5xc Basically back to normal still can’t drink though the rebound isn’t as bad but it’s still there I guess as more time goes on maybe 3 more years the response to alcohol will not be as intense
@@javonjohnson7049 Yeah honestly I don’t think I’ll ever drink again after I heal. I’m so glad your feeling better! How long did it take you to heal once you were completely off?? I’m 5 months out
Thanks for the update! My health anxiety has also been much worse since benzo withdrawal. I still feel anxious to eat or drink certain things, not all the time, but when I don't feel well. It has been 31 months since my short taper ended, I also often wonder if something is withdrawal related. At some point I hope I will be free of that, I want to leave the whole benzo thing behind me and just live life. What a nightmare it has been!
Wow you look much more alive I’ve watched your video while detoxing and I’m glad to say 35 months have passed and been clean I found the video just now and the memories flooded my mind Stay positive brother
Great to see you again yep I'm still out here to Hanging On thanks for the video really is an inspiration 22 months away from lorazepam still have squeezing in the ribs and digestive issues a lot was wondering if you had any of the ribs squeezes they feel like Ms hugs by the way I don't have MS we have to just take one day at a time and hang in there the light at the end of the tunnel is visible but Untouchable yet your videos inspire me to keep pushing forward thank you man keep on fighting oh my goodness I just wanted to mention it when you said that about a demon inside of you I did go through with a exorcism in the beginning I'm withdrawal I thought I had demons in me and I had my whole house exercised and myself also I was so scared so I know where you were coming from with that one been there done that one now I look back and kind of chuckle
You are a real warrior! I’m so sorry for your suffering. I’m sure , due to a comprised immune system, I’m now recovering from shingles. Don’t know what symptom belongs to what and don’t try to figure it out. Let go. Let God
Thank You for your videos I’m 5 months off and suffering from many of the same symptoms that you’ve described, I believe I have a ways to go. May God Bless us.
You’re a true hero for sticking this out bro, you keep me going and hoping for the best, I’m eating raw meat and dry fasting now, 48 hour dry fasts every week and one meal a day, seems to help

Hey man i came off of benzos 6 months after you. 3 mgs of xnanax a day for about 3 years, we’ve talked once or twice since. I gotta say it feels like it’s over, and I’m in better shape and I’m a stronger person than I’ve ever been. My relationship with my wife is the best it’s been , my kids as well . I think when you can finally push it away for good, you’ll be stronger. You can look back at all the shit you’ve been though when you listen to what most people think are “problems “ and you’ll know your stronger for it
Six 😢when will you do an update video for us ? Am having trouble gaining weight. I taken antibiotics after Benzo muscle issues too hope you have good news for us and we look forward to hear back from you
Wow !!! Congratulations!! I used to watch your videos back starting in September of 2017 when I started my detox off benzo’s. Your videos were so comforting to me as I was going through the same hell !!! I could relate so much with you!!! I truly thank you for being apart of my journey .. I’m so happy to see your still here and doing fantastic.. Your journey has been amazing .. I’m 20 months clean now and what a wild ride it’s been as you know !! Keep moving forward .. . You look fantastic!! Life is a beautiful crazy ride my friend !!
Thank you so much for answering my question. I’m the guy asked about the dizziness. I have it since august 2018 so it’s nearly a year now. : bed ridden/house bound for a year.. simply sharing experience helps me keeping my mind together. Thank you so much
Yeah it's terrible. Living in the house all the time... it's annoying. I want more out of life. I remember back to only days before I started my cold turkey of 10mg diazepam. I was hitting the gym super hard 4 days a week, lifting heavy weights. Going to universtiy, studying. My diet was on point. I got a bad panic attack (interdose withdrawals) while working out. Stopped cold turkey and literally from one day to the next my life changed completely. What a load of crap this is. Had I known what I was getting into, I'd never have taken a single dose.
@@mikel4526 It seems that way. I totally fell for the "New World Order" plan the conspiracy guys are spouting (like David Icke, for example). Kinda makes sense now why benzos are the most prescribed medications on Earth, apparently (from what I heard, could be wrong).
You are a true survivor .happy for you. Sadly , I wasn't as lucky as you. I did like you went cold turkey for 40 hours and that's it. All he'll broke loose. It's REALLY TRUE EVIL HELL ! I did tried my friend I tried .I can't be a normal human being ever again. Have had 5 attempts sucide already. I will eventually die from OD soon . Proud that you able to do it .God Bless you and other survivors. I already lost my left eye vision. The back pain I have it too. I can't swallow or chew my food anymore . My hearings were damaged as well .
I'm at 4 months . My healing experience has been all over the place. It has stabilized in the 4th month but I'm not having the windows that I was having in the first few months. Just curious about everyone elses experience. I don't have any irrational fears, depersonalization, or anything like that. I'm just dealing with what seems to be an extremely sensitive central nervous system. Can't work out. Feel like I'm walking on egg shells all the time. Are there months you feel like you heal more than others or is it consistent?
17 months off Xanax abuse here. Severe digestion issues still. Every time I have indigestion and acid reflux, I have some serious heart palpitations (pvc’s). I still have trouble sleeping some nights. I also constantly have an awareness of my heart beat. If I get carried away and focus on other things, I stop feeling it. But sometimes I’ll be in bed and I’ll feel like my hearts beating totally weird or abnormal, I check my pulse and it’s completely fine. It’s just this annoying awareness of the beating. I also have health anxiety now, everything I feel I google it and try to make a connection. It’s so stupid. Low carb has helped me so much! Especially with the acid reflux. Carbs mess me up. My stomach is for sure more sensitive than ever. Hopefully these gut issues are the last of it. I still also have a weird pressure feeling in my neck and head if I get up too fast or something. Also have those hypnic muscle jerks at the verge of falling into sleep. REM sleep like crazy! Nothing but weird dreams still, but I’m sleeping apparently. Sometimes I feel like I have some kind of apnea if I go to sleep wth acid reflux. I still have breathing issues also, it’s like I can’t talk immediately after I get up and walk around. I get short of breath. I’m 27 years old and should not be feeling like this, but according to research and dr’s it’s my GERD symptoms that lead to shortness of breath. I feel like my vagus nerve was destroyed by the Xanax. Other than all this, the majority of my severe symptoms went away. Good luck & God bless you all.
I remember in one of your videos you said something about your throat hurting. Can that be related to benzo withdrawal or do you think you were just getting sick. My throat has been hurting. No fever just irritated throat. I don't have allergies. Just wondering if this could be benzo related. Does anyone have any experience with this. Went to the doctor. The doctor said probably just allergies but like I said I never have allergies.
Hi Can someone help please. Was in Paxil withdrawal and after going to the ER 3 times, the doctor gave me Zoplicone 3.75mg and valium to take on the 14th of May 2019. Been taking the zoplicone half suggested dose of 750mg for sleep since and taking the valium since the 14th but not at any steady dose, mainly a low dose at around 1 to 1.5mg only but hit a real bad patch on the 29th of May and increased to 3mg to 5mg for 5 days only, wanted badly not to become dependant as my CNS was already hypersensitive and I reinstated my Paxil to 10mg too. Since the last 10 days, I've decreased the valium to 1mg and I'm in hell but don't know what's causing it due to 3 meds and already being in severe WD. I know the valium is a low dose and it's only been just over 4 weeks but the nausea, upset stomach, head pressure, chest and throat discomfort and tingling along with intrusive thoughts is crippling. I'm thinking I must hold on 1mg and try and stabalise. I really didn't want to take anything but was desperate. I never intended to take the valium daily so wasn't really paying attention to the dosages, it's only looking back, I realise I've been yoyoing the dose everyday for 35 days between 0.50 to 5mg, I so hoping this isn't making things alot worse for me, it's mental torture and I don't know if it's the reinstatement, the valium yoyoing or the zoplicone. So scared of what to do. Never took a benzo prior to this.... Can anyone advise. Much appreciated I'm so glad you're healing x
Health anxiety is my biggest thing. I swear I convince myself weekly I have a different kind of cancer. Been doing Joe Dispenzas mind training stuff cause I have to rewire these thought habits. Its driving me nuts
Make a research on intermittent fasting, I personally saw benefits from it around 10 months off that lasted months but after I started eating again day and night, especially during waves and that was gone, now I'm getting back on truck. Give it a shot and start gradually, you already are doing keto diet, that mixed with intermittent fasting is very powerful, especially for pain related problems. Keep it up! ✌️
Thanks dude! I’m almost a year off and I try to watch your videos according to the month I’m on, your symptoms are so similar to mine! The main symptom for me is the dizziness and the feeling of passing out (I never had) do you know the mechanic behind that? Eye pressure being the second.
Initially that is what I thought was happening to me. It took another couple of years before I made the benzo connection. Before that I suspected the new carpet in our home - the "off gassing"? Thought it might be the WIFI. Thought it was moving into my husband's parent's home both of which passed away in the home years earlier. So many different things I suspected.
Waves are your body healing, seriously. I’m two years off, if you ever need to chat reach out to Baylissa Frederick who is the withdrawal guru, she’s seriously an angel and has helped me so much. You’re doing so so well! You traveled in a plane! You’ve continued to work full time, so much more than a lot of people can during this time and you’re doing seriously amazing
Did you have this symptom ? Feeling like your body is numb but i can walk and move my hand but i feel numb .. head pressure, i am afraid that one day you get paralyzed, 4 years off , feeling better, alot of symptoms has left but new symptom has come ..
Aspirin kinda helps if you still feel the benzo pain. I'm cold turkey on Klonopin. I get the same exact lower back pain you get. Lower back. I get it mostly when I wake up im the morning if I am able to sleep. Personally in my opinion, could be like a fibromyalgia type syndrome with the nerves that is caused by the benzos due to the brain sending out pain signals from not being used to being off the benzos. I get muscle spams as well.
Im 26 months off now and I feel I like I need another year or so to really get back to my original self at this far off I sometimes can't tell if i'm having symptoms or if its normal. This has put my life on hold for so long I can't wait till I am finally able to be myself again but please keep holding on it gets better without you realizing don't give up ever.
I'm just over 90 days benzo free. I also got off of opiates at the same time. February 23rd is the last day I took a xanax and opiates. I had a two level spinal fusion in 2004, L4-S1. I've been going to physical therapy for it. I'm not sure if it's hurting much worse than I'm used to due to benzo and opiate withdrawal, but it's quite severe. I also have been doing holistic methods such as reiki, acupuncture, meditation, etc. I also started on Lyrica for nerve pain. I've surprisingly been able to eat very well and have an enormous appetite. I've gained about 15 lbs since jumping off of benzos. This is my 4th time coming off of benzos cold turkey. The 2nd time I quit cold turkey I was taking some days up to 26mg of xanax (13 bars). Yes, that number is correct. I originally went on Valium for two reasons; anxiety and as a muscle relaxant. My muscles, especially around my fusion surgery site, feel so extremely tense constantly. Also, inbetween my shoulder blades and my neck hurt tremendously. It feels as if my head weighs 100lbs and the only thing I can do for relief is to lie down. I may need another back surgery however I do believe most of my pain is attributed to benzo withdrawal. A lot of the mental symptoms have already (surprisingly) subsided for me. During the first couple weeks during my cold turkey the only way I can describe it is that I was possessed. The hallucinations and visions I had were extremely real, and to this day I remember the things I envisioned and it still seems as if it's real. My fiance went as far as putting a protection circle around my bed and even got on top of me and started slapping me in the face. I was yelling out random things in threes as if I was possessed. Things are so much better now though and I'll never go back on benzos. I went as far as calling the psychiatrist who originally started me on benzos in 2013 and told her to red flag me. I'm a hypochondriac as well, yet I try to stay off of Google whenever I have a stomach rumble or weird twitch because otherwise I just ramp myself up into a frenzy of nonsense. Positive vibes man keep it up and don't reinstate no matter what!
The same way you had that exististential fear is the same way that I still have a pretty debilitating fear of people and I'm just about 1 year out. It's keeping me from being able to get a better job or be able to connect with my own friends and family. Do you think this will completely go away with time?
I am about to begin that journey. Have you tried acupuncture therapy in combination with herbal stress/anxiety reducers and amino acid supplements? That is the approach i plan to take along with intense exercise. Do some research. You seem absolutely normal in this video, keep up the good fight and you will prevail
Sorry I haven't posted. I dunno if I'll do another video anytime soon I wanna wait til I fix my gut. I'm still having issues with gut. My benzo symptoms are gone though. I'm trying colostrum right now to heal my gut so well see if it works.
Hey Six,Was it a burning Nerve pain ..on top of Like your skin felt like it was sunburnt on fire inside..And the nerve pain was relentless. It felt kinda freezer burnt too and in the bones. The Acid feeling was a perfect description and prickly skin burning OMFG..especially waking up was the worst. ..I wanted to cry and scream and die from the pain, depression etc.etc etc...I think the existential crisis's 24/7 to me is like not feeling grounded at all ,to anything or anyone and not knowing what I'm doing & why I'm alive . Dp/Dr is scary af ..like no connection or no safety in this vast universe full of black holes all alone feeling fear of no Godhead protection is running the show. I'm all over the place sorry about that.. I remember eating a sandwich and I could feel it go through out my entire body. Or the worm that used to crawl in the back of my brain/and I still get that feeling that the left side of my brain is wiggling around after I ate,drank or took a gummy vitamin.I recently bought this pre work out rainbow sherbet powder drink that had a ton of vitamins,and stuff they put n energy drinks w/caffeine of course and added milk and would chug it ..it was delicious ,but I could totally feel the left side of my brains wiggling and nerve endings nerve endings felt as if the nerve endings in my brain were sizzling or singeing like someone took a lighter and set fire to not my hair but brain and i could feel it in my brain..(ever feel that happen? I'm sorry I'm rambling..
nope, gastritis is just intestinal inflammation. coffee/spices makes it worse. You just have to cut out the bad foods and let your body heal or it will continue to cause pain.
@@sixslow Ok. You said you had a colonoscopy. For the sedative, what did you take instead of a Benzo? I heard they use a benzo/opiate combo. Thanks for your replies.
Im taking from your video, most of your issues are physical? Do you no longer have the impending doom, crazy cortisol mornings, panic, Anhedonia etc etc. You know the stuff im talking about. Cheers.
I still get some fear/anxiety. but none of the crazy cortisol mornings/panic etc..it's usually milder where I can still function. But sometimes i'll feel dizzy and think i'm gonna die or something. but doesn't last long.
do you feel like your in fight or flight everyday? cause i still do, but i never even cold turkied it, i stopped around a year ago now, the fear thoughts are intense but i think they are slowly starting to reside but still its horribly slow but progress is being made non the less....glad to see you are doing well! been watching your updates for awhile, i hope you incorporate organic foods/non gmo/avoid glyphosate ridden conventional wheat products because i find that is key to staying stable in my life, eating too much sugar/carbs does me in everytime, also messes with your gut biome which is our second brain...going organic and avoiding garbage food helps your body immesly more than anything else in my opinon, you can heal your gut, just need to eat clean, food CAN be medicine once you learn how to read labels and what to avoid in the nasty food supply we have, oh i just got to the point of the video where you say you removed dairy and things, ok so you are aware of these things thats good, also i believe nobody is gluten intolerant so much as glyphosate[round up chemical] intolerant, im fine if i eat organic wheat but if i eat conventional laced with glyphosate wheat/grains, i get pains through my whole digestive tract, so yeah, its toxic shit though i've just been so numbed most my life, crazy world we live in, ok enough ranting for me...i have chronic health anxiety as well oh boy do i ever..

Hey, I'm not sure if you respond to comments or not. Have you dealt with intrusive thoughts during this process. You mentioned the love for your family came back. I feel so off around my family with intrusive thoughts and anger for no reason. Yet, I know deep inside I still love them. It's been very distressing for me. Have you tried a probiotic for your stomach?
changing our diets can shock our gut biome from the food change, i overnanalyze my feelings as well, i am working on ignoring my constant diagnosing thoughts, overthinking kills us lol it really does! ALSO our simple thoughts can physically change our guts reaction because i know if i eat something that i THINK i maybe shouldn't i fear myself into issues because if i am busy and not thinking about these things i am always FINE...OUR BRAINS ARE WAY TOO POWERFUL gaaahh, check out wim hof, and dr berg for gut issues, i've been self diagnosing since detox, i've realizing learning to let go is more of what i need to do, after eating clean things i can let go and not worry if i know i've had no previous issue with the food, i'm slowly getting there...god willing! low carb is the way to go though for sure...carbs make my heart race when i go overboard and its never worth it, finally trying to give up the sugar for good but its so addictive i hate it, omg let me shut up whheeow yes exercise is NEEDED, mostly just walking, don't over do it, yoga helps me because being still is so toxic for me
How’s your Neck? C3 Issues can mess up the gut. Carful low carb can be messy for WD. Keto can make one itchy or even foggy. If you don’t need to lose weight which you don’t - don’t go crazy with low carb. Do healthy carbs. Neck issues can mess up lumbar and thoracic too. PM me on messenger. Careful with Chiro... they never look at soft tissue.
PrayforHealing ! Careful - I should have been more specific Manipulate in big velocity is very risky. Cervical instability causes many nasty symptoms and Chiros no matter what don’t consider. Blair, NUCCA, and typical ones are not good. Work in posture and skeletal strength the body will fix itself
Robert Long You would say chiropractors are not good? I know I need to work on better posture and strengthening. Did you have any recommendations are what type of exercises or stretching to do? Have you done research on this?
PrayforHealing ! Well I hate to say it’s trial and error. Orthogonal Chiro you can’t go wrong at all. CBP is great but depends on the practitioner! Idealspine.com Look up Cervical Physical Therapy on CZcams There are a few good people to follow. Key is to identify if you have cervical instability. Hard to know unless you get flexion / extension XRay along with APOM but even that is not telling the whole story. But if you have had head injuries or ever had a concussion and have bad pain then get a DMX (digital motion XRay) instead of a regular XRay.
Please keep making videoes. Since food dosent make my antipsychotic withdrawal symptoms worse, i make sure i treat myself in the weekend with an ekstra treat. Im lucky i can drink coffee, so i make sure to drink coffee. All the best.
i am so pissed off i am on 4mg alprazolam daily, i can do some days with 2,5mg ....i know it is a very high dose, i am pissed off to do cold turkey :( ,, even the tapering method is killing me, i dont know if i can do it because now i have a good job and i need to function now plus i have a ton of personal problems now, i really dont know what to do. :( ,, WHEN I DONT TOOK MY XANAX 24HOURS, MY WORST SYMPTOM IS THAT I CAN HEAR BACK MY THOUGHTS .....WHAT IS CRAAAAAAZY ....AND I AM SURE THAT EVERYBODY AROUND ME HEAR MY THOUGHTS AND I EVEN HEAR THEM LAUGHING ABOUT MY THOUGHS, AND THAN IV GOT VERY VERY SERIOUS OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISSORDER BECAUSE OF THE FEAR THAT IF I THINK ABOUT SOME BULLSHIT EVERYBODY WILL HEAR IT.

Sean H CBD oil has been wonderful for me. Before the CBD oil I used to take 25 diphenhydramine (generic Benadryl). That works well too but I wouldn't do it too often, I found that if I used it every night it left me feeling achy and tired the next day.
@Jenny D Trazadone is an ssri and carries the same withdrawal risk as any other in its class of drugs and needs to be gradually tapered over a long period of time. "Effective" = addictive.
@Jenny D Lovely attitude. These are toxins and they are exactly that - TOXINS!! You are certainly free to choose to pollute yourself with these poisons all you want. Beyond ignorant to suggest more drugs to people trying to move away from them.
Glad you are doing well. I've tried, my blood pressure and heart escalates to the point of death if I don't get to the hospital. Some people get high blood pressure and heart problems going thru this. You appear very pale in color, go see your doctor.
im on trazodone for sleep, ive heard people say negative things on it but i get these brain zaps/ hypnic jerks going to sleep EVERY NIGHT. i dont know what to do. im 6 months.
You definitely want to use Trazodone instead of say, Remeron, which does not stop working even if you stop. Trazodone is easy to use in emergencies because it's easy not to use when you don't need it.

You have a kidney issue. The base of the spine is a kidney pressure point. So you need to do hot external ginger compresses on your kidneys and also your intestines. That will improve your digestion. You also need to eat whole grains and vegetables only. And study Macrobiotics. You’ve made a good decision to avoid sugar and dairy foods. Also avoid animal food, soft drinks and fruits. Don’t take any pills of any kind including vitamins. The upper spine is the heart. So ginger compresses on your intestines are extremely important. No protein shakes or any substitute foods. No junk foods And no pizza. Study Macrobiotics and eat slightly on the salty side because your condition is yin. Dizziness is a yin condition and a yin discharge. Good luck.
Ginger compresses on my brother’s kidneys have saved his life from acute suicidal pain last July. The ginger compress always calms him down whenever he lets me do it. It improves blood circulation in the kidneys and sometimes it goes up to his brain throughout his spine and takes away the fire in his brain. It gives him temporary relief from otherwise unbearable suicidal pain. He has also been able To get back to his auto shop and has paid off 74k in back taxes that were mounting up because he no longer could work or leave his bedroom all day. All drugs have side effects and withdrawal symptoms because the kidney has to fight their toxicity. The kidney function is to eliminate toxicity from the body. It has been my experience while taking care of my father with cancer in the kidneys, that Alzheimer’s and dementia are a result of weak kidneys. My father had one kidney removed and half of the other kidney removed. He became a dialysis patient and was diagnosed also with both dementia and Alzheimer’s. So we had to have a signature plate made to sign his checks. It was so bad that he couldn’t add 1 plus 1. And he didn’t know who the President of the United States was. I took care of him with Macrobiotics for 9 months doing ginger compresses on almost his entire body every day and fed him a Macrobiotic diet aimed at strengthening his kidney function. His dialysis was cut in half and my doormat he ordered from the catalog. He wrote out the check, balanced his check book and put a stamp on the envelope and handed it to me and said “mail this.” Thjismled me to believe that when you have either dementia or Alzheimer’s, you lose your ability to access your brain, but all your information stays in tact. This is what a 77 year old man was able to do living on 1/4 kidney function. He was told at dialysis that he would never urinate again. Exactly the opposite happened and he said it felt good. They were also amazed to see him walk under his own power again because it took 3 dialysis employees to lift him out of the wheelchair and into the dialysis chair in the beginning. What eventually took his life was a dialysis accident that ruptured his blood vessels causing internal bleeding. I took care of both of my parents and now I’m trying to save my brothers life from psychotic medication. So I have learned a lot about natural healing. It puts western medicine to shame. In fact western medicine has destroyed humanity. Macrobiotics is the most positive, powerful, sociopolitical activism possible. And that is what we all need. Especially those who suffer from mental problems. Ultimately it’s the diet that causes mental problems. And sugar and chemicals is the main culprit.

I genuinely believe you could benefit from dmt, or mushrooms; they’re brilliant for existential symptoms. Brilliant for ptsd anxiety and depression. Look into it. Sending positivity bro, hang in.
Mike L you obviously know nothing about the healing power of psychedelics. Has the ability to heal anxiety, depression, ptsd, symptoms of bi polar, and more. I don’t even consider psychedelics drugs, they literally take you on an internal journey of self healing.
Mike L what’s with the Agro? I’m simply trying to help. Look I agree that people behind big pharma are money hungry whores, who will happily allow people suffer and die simple for their benefit. Big pharma have never, and will never promote psychedelics unless it will make them money (which will never happen), that’s how the system works. Psychedelics are free-ing tools, not drugs. And I’d also like to re-iterate that I’m not telling this guy to dive into the deep end of psychs unknowingly, I’m saying that I believe they could serve as useful for healing.

Bro I remember that video where you were laying in your bed hurting, I cant lie, that scared the shit out of me. You have come along way and I'm proud of you. Stay strong bro!!
Thank you so much for making videos and congrats on being strong. I'm 90% almost done with my taper of Ativan after 3 years. I have a lot of lower back pain from this!
Hi Melissa , ma'am my dad is a trucker so he sits and sits many hours a day driving a 18 wheeler truck. he started having lower back pain and fellow truckers recommended to him to get a miracle bamboo cushion ( haha i ordered him one online ($20)since he's computer illiterate )
that cushion has really helped him ALOT !
ma'am make sure your wearing cushioned shoes i have a neighbor katherine shes a nice nice lady but shes also kinda heavy ( around 275-300 pounds) she told me a few years ago she had some back pains and i gave her a massage i didnt know how to tell her that the FLAT FLAT / UNCUSHIONED SANDALS she often ofen wore were really bad for her since she was too heavy to be wearing em too long but i told her eventaully she really should wear cushioned shoes like dr shoal shoes she did and shes much much better now !
ma'am *sigh* ive had trouble health most of my life (im 26) and i had a few seizures a year starting in late 2004 and im now disabled with MS (multiple sclerosis) i took xanax briefly before also . around 10 years ago i saw a Dr oz episode and it was about back pain he demonstrated a very very good method to relieve back pain sit upright at chair place the ankle of one foot onto kneecap of other leg stretch out your arms in front of you and lean forward as far as you can hold the outstretched position for 5-10 seconds repeat process with other ankle on other kneecap
as far as your taper i really REALLY recommend that YOU do a water titration taper which makes it PAINLESS to do this you need 2 syringes with measurement markings a 5ml syringe and 50 ml syringe fill the 50 ml syringe with water add small dose of ativian to it ( im not sure if it disolves in water but xanax does ) drink the 50ml water / ativian mix after 2 weeks get your 5ml syringe extract 2ml from the ativian / water mix drink the remaining 48 ml water/ ativian mix & discard the 2ml in small syringe . every 2 weeks extract an addictional 2ml of the water / ativian mix . Yes this will take awhile buuut if you jump from a dose thats too high , withdrawls are EXTREME ! i really really regret not doing this method when i qut i felt so bad i wrote a letter to my family i kept in my purse in case if i died . if it doesnt disolve in water youll need to get a small tiny porcelain pestile & mortal (theyre cheap -$5 (syringes were cheap too $-5 online also)
insomnia seems to be a big problem when quitting a benzo i read how these vitamins were GOOD to improve sleep vitamin C , D , Magnesium & potassium i took 2 with breakfast had a 1-3 hour nappy 90 minutes later and with light snack at bedtime i took other 2 . i also drank chamomille tea often which SAFELY makes ya feel calm and relaxed
it is A MUST that you activate or go for walks i started going for 15 minute walks on the same week i quit xanax and WOW it really really REALLY feels like a miracle how it relieves acute(extreme ) withdrawls & i had very little withdrawls the rest of the day!!
avoid these after quitting ativian i didnt drink caffeine until 6 months after qutiting xanax . wait 5+ years for trying any alcohol after quitting ativian ( 6 months after i quit xanax i felt ok i gathered with some friends and I had 6 beers and i felt very well during that time , 8 hours after i drank i felt very VERY HORRIBLE like i felt similar to how i felt 1-2 days after i quit xanax ! and that HORRIBLE FEELING lasted ALL WEEK !!)
that chamomille tea is only $1- $2 for a box of 20 tea bags i make my tea this way get a coffee cup fill with water add tea bag to cup place in microwave 1 minute 45 seconds let tea bag sit in cup 20+ minutes before drinking ( avoid caffine , cigarette smoking or excess sugar after that tea those KILL the relaxing affect of that tea ) when its an emergency i have some chamomille tea stems i get a small piece of the stem chew on it and swallow saliva to feel CALM relaxed soon !
i appologize about the long long LONG letter i just really really CARE
God bless you Melissa,
Katie

Thank you please continue to post.. this does help alot of people that are seeking help and assurance like myself.. Thank you!!
@@mikel4526 thank you! 8 month's off and want it to be over....
All these symptoms we suffer from are ALL from Benzo withdrawal. I am at 27 months; same symptoms as you. We all think it is hard to believe that benzo withdrawal is behind everything, but it is. The CNS, totally broken by withdrawal, controls EVERYTHING in the body. Aside from caffeine and sugar, perhaps, diet has little effect, as long as your nutrition is sound. We are constantly in disbelief that this could hang on so long, we start to blame symptoms on other causes. No. It is all from withdrawal. If there was an answer in diet, we wouldn't be suffering. We try something and coincidentally we enter a window period at the same time. Continue the diet, and on comes a wave. No connection. VERY gradually we are getting better. We need to not obsess about our symptoms and just continue on one day at a time. Time is the answer. Sixslow, thanks so much for the videos, very much appreciated. On balance, you are so much better now than before. The further out we go, the more smaller symptoms feel as bad as earlier symptoms, because we are so mentally exhausted from the long time ripped from our normal selves and lives.

17 months off Xanax abuse here. Severe digestion issues still. Every time I have indigestion and acid reflux, I have some serious heart palpitations (pvc’s). I still have trouble sleeping some nights. I also constantly have an awareness of my heart beat. If I get carried away and focus on other things, I stop feeling it. But sometimes I’ll be in bed and I’ll feel like my hearts beating totally weird or abnormal, I check my pulse and it’s completely fine. It’s just this annoying awareness of the beating. I also have health anxiety now, everything I feel I google it and try to make a connection. It’s so stupid. Low carb has helped me so much! Especially with the acid reflux. Carbs mess me up. My stomach is for sure more sensitive than ever. Hopefully these gut issues are the last of it. I still also have a weird pressure feeling in my neck and head if I get up too fast or something. Also have those hypnic muscle jerks at the verge of falling into sleep. REM sleep like crazy! Nothing but weird dreams still, but I’m sleeping apparently. Sometimes I feel like I have some kind of apnea if I go to sleep wth acid reflux. I still have breathing issues also, it’s like I can’t talk immediately after I get up and walk around. I get short of breath.
I’m 27 years old and should not be feeling like this, but according to research and dr’s it’s my GERD symptoms that lead to shortness of breath. I feel like my vagus nerve was destroyed by the Xanax. Other than all this, the majority of my severe symptoms went away. Good luck & God bless you all.

Hi
Can someone help please.
Was in Paxil withdrawal and after going to the ER 3 times, the doctor gave me Zoplicone 3.75mg and valium to take on the 14th of May 2019.
Been taking the zoplicone half suggested dose of 750mg for sleep since and taking the valium since the 14th but not at any steady dose, mainly a low dose at around 1 to 1.5mg only but hit a real bad patch on the 29th of May and increased to 3mg to 5mg for 5 days only, wanted badly not to become dependant as my CNS was already hypersensitive and I reinstated my Paxil to 10mg too.
Since the last 10 days, I've decreased the valium to 1mg and I'm in hell but don't know what's causing it due to 3 meds and already being in severe WD. I know the valium is a low dose and it's only been just over 4 weeks but the nausea, upset stomach, head pressure, chest and throat discomfort and tingling along with intrusive thoughts is crippling.
I'm thinking I must hold on 1mg and try and stabalise.
I really didn't want to take anything but was desperate. I never intended to take the valium daily so wasn't really paying attention to the dosages, it's only looking back, I realise I've been yoyoing the dose everyday for 35 days between 0.50 to 5mg, I so hoping this isn't making things alot worse for me, it's mental torture and I don't know if it's the reinstatement, the valium yoyoing or the zoplicone. So scared of what to do.
Never took a benzo prior to this....
Can anyone advise.
Much appreciated
I'm so glad you're healing x
Health anxiety is my biggest thing. I swear I convince myself weekly I have a different kind of cancer. Been doing Joe Dispenzas mind training stuff cause I have to rewire these thought habits. Its driving me nuts
Its horrible i hope your doing better, i wished i lived back then were there was no technology. Stop googling it helps..
Make a research on intermittent fasting, I personally saw benefits from it around 10 months off that lasted months but after I started eating again day and night, especially during waves and that was gone, now I'm getting back on truck. Give it a shot and start gradually, you already are doing keto diet, that mixed with intermittent fasting is very powerful, especially for pain related problems. Keep it up! ✌️
Thanks dude!
I’m almost a year off and I try to watch your videos according to the month I’m on, your symptoms are so similar to mine!
The main symptom for me is the dizziness and the feeling of passing out (I never had) do you know the mechanic behind that? Eye pressure being the second.
Hola Marco como sige? Q son sus sintomas aun y cuando ara un video?
I would of thought demons were in me too, if someone would of planted that idea in me. Thank God that didn’t happen. Glad your doing better
Initially that is what I thought was happening to me. It took another couple of years before I made the benzo connection. Before that I suspected the new carpet in our home - the "off gassing"? Thought it might be the WIFI. Thought it was moving into my husband's parent's home both of which passed away in the home years earlier. So many different things I suspected.
What are your current head symptoms?
Do you still suffer from dp/dr?
Waves are your body healing, seriously. I’m two years off, if you ever need to chat reach out to Baylissa Frederick who is the withdrawal guru, she’s seriously an angel and has helped me so much. You’re doing so so well! You traveled in a plane! You’ve continued to work full time, so much more than a lot of people can during this time and you’re doing seriously amazing
Did you have this symptom ? Feeling like your body is numb but i can walk and move my hand but i feel numb .. head pressure, i am afraid that one day you get paralyzed, 4 years off , feeling better, alot of symptoms has left but new symptom has come ..
Aspirin kinda helps if you still feel the benzo pain. I'm cold turkey on Klonopin. I get the same exact lower back pain you get. Lower back. I get it mostly when I wake up im the morning if I am able to sleep. Personally in my opinion, could be like a fibromyalgia type syndrome with the nerves that is caused by the benzos due to the brain sending out pain signals from not being used to being off the benzos. I get muscle spams as well.
Im 26 months off now and I feel I like I need another year or so to really get back to my original self at this far off I sometimes can't tell if i'm having symptoms or if its normal. This has put my life on hold for so long I can't wait till I am finally able to be myself again but please keep holding on it gets better without you realizing don't give up ever.

Try going on a 7 day water fast for your gut mate a lot of people have cured ibd by fasting. It's worth a try
I'm just over 90 days benzo free. I also got off of opiates at the same time. February 23rd is the last day I took a xanax and opiates. I had a two level spinal fusion in 2004, L4-S1. I've been going to physical therapy for it. I'm not sure if it's hurting much worse than I'm used to due to benzo and opiate withdrawal, but it's quite severe. I also have been doing holistic methods such as reiki, acupuncture, meditation, etc. I also started on Lyrica for nerve pain. I've surprisingly been able to eat very well and have an enormous appetite. I've gained about 15 lbs since jumping off of benzos. This is my 4th time coming off of benzos cold turkey. The 2nd time I quit cold turkey I was taking some days up to 26mg of xanax (13 bars). Yes, that number is correct. I originally went on Valium for two reasons; anxiety and as a muscle relaxant. My muscles, especially around my fusion surgery site, feel so extremely tense constantly. Also, inbetween my shoulder blades and my neck hurt tremendously. It feels as if my head weighs 100lbs and the only thing I can do for relief is to lie down. I may need another back surgery however I do believe most of my pain is attributed to benzo withdrawal. A lot of the mental symptoms have already (surprisingly) subsided for me. During the first couple weeks during my cold turkey the only way I can describe it is that I was possessed. The hallucinations and visions I had were extremely real, and to this day I remember the things I envisioned and it still seems as if it's real. My fiance went as far as putting a protection circle around my bed and even got on top of me and started slapping me in the face. I was yelling out random things in threes as if I was possessed. Things are so much better now though and I'll never go back on benzos. I went as far as calling the psychiatrist who originally started me on benzos in 2013 and told her to red flag me. I'm a hypochondriac as well, yet I try to stay off of Google whenever I have a stomach rumble or weird twitch because otherwise I just ramp myself up into a frenzy of nonsense. Positive vibes man keep it up and don't reinstate no matter what!

Hey Six,Was it a burning Nerve pain ..on top of Like your skin felt like it was sunburnt on fire inside..And the nerve pain was relentless.
It felt kinda freezer burnt too and in the bones. The Acid feeling was a perfect description and prickly skin burning OMFG..especially waking up was the worst.
..I wanted to cry and scream and die from the pain, depression etc.etc etc...I think the existential crisis's 24/7 to me is like not feeling grounded at all ,to anything or anyone and not knowing what I'm doing & why I'm alive .

I'm sorry I'm rambling..
How you now man hope your feeling better
What do you do for your gastritis, do you need a medical procedure for it, and do they think it was caused by benzos or was it just underlying?
nope, gastritis is just intestinal inflammation. coffee/spices makes it worse. You just have to cut out the bad foods and let your body heal or it will continue to cause pain.

Your WD had without tinnitus?
Hey Man waiting for tour update.
How’s your Neck? C3 Issues can mess up the gut.
Carful low carb can be messy for WD. Keto can make one itchy or even foggy. If you don’t need to lose weight which you don’t - don’t go crazy with low carb. Do healthy carbs.
Neck issues can mess up lumbar and thoracic too. PM me on messenger.
Careful with Chiro... they never look at soft tissue.
What should you do for the neck issues then if you don't go to a chiropractor?
PrayforHealing ! Careful - I should have been more specific
Manipulate in big velocity is very risky. Cervical instability causes many nasty symptoms and Chiros no matter what don’t consider. Blair, NUCCA, and typical ones are not good.
Work in posture and skeletal strength the body will fix itself
Robert Long You would say chiropractors are not good?
I know I need to work on better posture and strengthening. Did you have any recommendations are what type of exercises or stretching to do?
Have you done research on this?
PrayforHealing !
Well I hate to say it’s trial and error.
Orthogonal Chiro you can’t go wrong at all.
CBP is great but depends on the practitioner! Idealspine.com
Look up Cervical Physical Therapy on CZcams
There are a few good people to follow.
Key is to identify if you have cervical instability. Hard to know unless you get flexion / extension XRay along with APOM but even that is not telling the whole story.
But if you have had head injuries or ever had a concussion and have bad pain then get a DMX (digital motion XRay) instead of a regular XRay.

You have a kidney issue. The base of the spine is a kidney pressure point. So you need to do hot external ginger compresses on your kidneys and also your intestines. That will improve your digestion. You also need to eat whole grains and vegetables only. And study Macrobiotics. You’ve made a good decision to avoid sugar and dairy foods. Also avoid animal food, soft drinks and fruits. Don’t take any pills of any kind including vitamins. The upper spine is the heart. So ginger compresses on your intestines are extremely important. No protein shakes or any substitute foods. No junk foods
And no pizza. Study Macrobiotics and eat slightly on the salty side because your condition is yin. Dizziness is a yin condition and a yin discharge. Good luck.
Ginger compresses on my brother’s kidneys have saved his life from acute suicidal pain last July. The ginger compress always calms him down whenever he lets me do it. It improves blood circulation in the kidneys and sometimes it goes up to his brain throughout his spine and takes away the fire in his brain. It gives him temporary relief from otherwise unbearable suicidal pain. He has also been able
To get back to his auto shop and has paid off 74k in back taxes that were mounting up because he no longer could work or leave his bedroom all day. All drugs have side effects and withdrawal symptoms because the kidney has to fight their toxicity. The kidney function is to eliminate toxicity from the body. It has been my experience while taking care of my father with cancer in the kidneys, that Alzheimer’s and dementia are a result of weak kidneys. My father had one kidney removed and half of the other kidney removed. He became a dialysis patient and was diagnosed also with both dementia and Alzheimer’s. So we had to have a signature plate made to sign his checks. It was so bad that he couldn’t add 1 plus 1. And he didn’t know who the President of the United States was. I took care of him with Macrobiotics for 9 months doing ginger compresses on almost his entire body every day and fed him a Macrobiotic diet aimed at strengthening his kidney function. His dialysis was cut in half and my doormat he ordered from the catalog. He wrote out the check, balanced his check book and put a stamp on the envelope and handed it to me and said “mail this.” Thjismled me to believe that when you have either dementia or Alzheimer’s, you lose your ability to access your brain, but all your information stays in tact. This is what a 77 year old man was able to do living on 1/4 kidney function. He was told at dialysis that he would never urinate again. Exactly the opposite happened and he said it felt good. They were also amazed to see him walk under his own power again because it took 3 dialysis employees to lift him out of the wheelchair and into the dialysis chair in the beginning. What eventually took his life was a dialysis accident that ruptured his blood vessels causing internal bleeding. I took care of both of my parents and now I’m trying to save my brothers life from psychotic medication. So I have learned a lot about natural healing. It puts western medicine to shame. In fact western medicine has destroyed humanity. Macrobiotics is the most positive, powerful, sociopolitical activism possible. And that is what we all need. Especially those who suffer from mental problems. Ultimately it’s the diet that causes mental problems. And sugar and chemicals is the main culprit.
Cool advice but if I applied all those things and stuck to it I’d feel suicidal purely from lack of enjoyment by cutting everything out entirely

He is smarter than us, obviously, because he's not enabling your troll roll... Try #HookedOnPhonics. Fuck your message if you're going to misrepresent libel and slander anyone as your true intentions. Got it yet? No? Good.
@@mikel4526 Worst troll ever. Short attention span riddled with rife ripe ADHD. Theeew worst combo. Can't remember this from that. Still goes on the offensive. And phew I do mean offensive.
Sixslow, Mike L has been told to go away, to stop posting on my threads, he follows and harasses me too. Maybe I shouldn't leave a post making fun of him. I should expect him to retaliate on a post as such. I usually would delete and repost, as to get him off my thread. But I am leaving my last post below up to show you how he relentlessly follows me around. He slanders people, he makes up 100% lies about people to aggravate them. He knows nothing about me and says I snort Valium and am an alcoholic. Petty stupid crap like that all day all night long. He follows on your old videos leaving shtty comments that you don't see. I am going to delete my last comment but want to leave it up to show you how he relentlessly follows me around.
He locates us on others threads (others that have nothing to do with this) and severely harasses us.
I rarely have ever gone on "his" threads. There's so much commotion going on it's hard to tell what's what.
He follows me! Won't leave me alone, mocks us, makes up lies, hurts others, many many others have had drivebys with him.
If you engage with him, he goes psycho takes offense and won't let up harassing you. Many are smart and have not engaged other than the initial encounter. There are at least a dozen victims.
It's impossible to help others or to seek help when he is here.
I'm sure he will be back on another name, he is that special kind of crazy.
I have to remember that I'm not getting any younger too and a lot of this is just normal aging
Whether you believe it or not but God helps, he created your brain satanic drugs destroyed it, but you are Gods creation and he repaired it come what may. Allah doesn't burden any soul more then it could handle. Thanks Allah daily for his blessings to whom we shall have to return. Facts
Cutting out dairy and sugar helps a lot.
@@mikel4526 I think Robert Long was talking about your cap on this entire video, you creepy clingy psychopath :)
@@mikel4526 Yeah put your cap back on it loner patrol
@@mikel4526 Ya ok Calhoun Tubbs! bahhhhhahahahaha
Why would cutting out dairy and sugar help? I haven't noticed either way
@@mikel4526 ahh gotcha, thank you for clarifying. Personally I've never noticed either way with copious amounts of sugar or dairy. I know it's obviously not good for me and I'm trying to curb that, it's tough though!
I genuinely believe you could benefit from dmt, or mushrooms; they’re brilliant for existential symptoms. Brilliant for ptsd anxiety and depression. Look into it. Sending positivity bro, hang in.
Martin H not unless he’s predisposed to schizophrenia
Mike L you obviously know nothing about the healing power of psychedelics. Has the ability to heal anxiety, depression, ptsd, symptoms of bi polar, and more. I don’t even consider psychedelics drugs, they literally take you on an internal journey of self healing.
Mike L what’s with the Agro? I’m simply trying to help. Look I agree that people behind big pharma are money hungry whores, who will happily allow people suffer and die simple for their benefit. Big pharma have never, and will never promote psychedelics unless it will make them money (which will never happen), that’s how the system works. Psychedelics are free-ing tools, not drugs. And I’d also like to re-iterate that I’m not telling this guy to dive into the deep end of psychs unknowingly, I’m saying that I believe they could serve as useful for healing.
It's just your anxiety

@@a.c.9993 Yes for 1 year off of 2mg xanax for 1and half year .the dmt in ayauasca helps to reset all dopemines endorephines and serotonin receptors so it helps to bring u back to normal
@@Razor_God_Mode really?!? That's very interesting. Thanks for the info. I didn't taper...long story. I was on 1.5 to 2 mg for 7 yrs. I had such terrible dp/dr. It has gone away almost entirely as I've been off for almost 1/2 yrs. It would scare me to try it.
