[Li...] Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I watched this show!! When the Dr. said benzo withdrawal and panic attack, I almost jumped from my chair! That told me that she was going 21 days cold turkey. I wonder if she is doing OK? Hope so...... Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[as...] Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 on this show i saw something VERY disturbing to me.. it was on one of the earlier episodes. it showed Leif garrett Waking up in the morning and throwing up from heroin W/D and the nurse slaps something on his chest before even telling him what it was.. he asked "what was that" she replied "a Klonopin patch" i could not believe what I was seeing!!! i understand he was in pain but you think they would at least tell him what it was and explain its dangers before giving it to him!!! it just did not make sense as i thought there is many other things that help heroin W/D like methadone and what not and they go straight for the benzo.. as they are treating other patients for Benzo addiction in the same facility!!!!!!

[as...] Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Your right it was not him throwing up.. at 7 Minutes and 20 seconds or so it does show leif and she does put a patch on him.. It sounds like she says klonopin patch? I'm not positive how it is pronounced but thats what it sounds like to me? I'm really not sure..I'm curious now what it is!!! Thanks for pulling the scene up!

[Li...] Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I saw the show where they put the patch on. I never could make out what she called it. I backed up more than once to hear what she was saying but with no luck. She sounded like she was mumbling. Sundaze- I just wanted to let you know that this thread is very interesting. I like the way you put the info out there for us. I will be back ALOT to see more. Most appreciated! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[su...] Posted January 22, 2011 Author Share Posted January 22, 2011 since I don't have vh1 and forgot how to use a tv haha I am relying on that website to ad more of the episodes, I saw the first 3 and I think there are 6 more...hope they ad them but from all the things that go on in here it seems like the show is sugar coated idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Li...] Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Sundaze, I watched the whole thing and yes, it is sugar coated. You know that they dont show half of what gones on in there, just the drama TV stuff that sells. Keep up the thread. I enjoy it alot.

I had a nurse put one on me when I was in rehab, miserable feeling as they make you extremely lightheaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[su...] Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 the other day they had the 6 month reunion Janice said she had been taking ambien xanax and ativan for years she went c/t and she is doing fine now... another benzo survivor make a note of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Li...] Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Saw it Sundaze. Yes she did say that. She also said she was going back to the rehab 3/4 times a week getting councilling. That would be a great help if you can find the right Doctor. I like Dr. Drew. He really talks and works with all those people. I read the post from zachman about the clonidine patch. I have never even heard of it but it got my attention cause my BP goes high when I get overly anxious. It scares me and that just makes it go higher. Any ideas on that?

[su...] Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Linda getting a spike in BP is kinda normal in panic attacks, I know I have got them and it makes it worse taking the reading and seeing it...just have to calm down and breath deep for at least 10 minutes. Janice also said or Dr. Drew said she had withdrawal for 4 months after her c/t but as you can see from the show she was not bed ridden! sundaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[al...] Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I can identify so much with Janice. The episode where she breaks down and the therapist says, "this is benzo withdrawal" was very tough for me to watch. But look at how great she's doing now! She's like a brother in arms or something. Sometimes I feel like I want to write her a letter saying she was part of the inspiration for me to get off the benzos. Yes, the show is very sugar-coated. But that's TV for you. You can tell Dr. Drew really cares about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda The Clonodine Patch is probably helpful in the most extreme part of acute drug (opioid or benzo) withdrawal, the first couple of weeks when seizures are also a risk. It does make sense for some, it just didn't work for me because benzo withdrawal was making me lightheaded to begin with. I don't think a doctor would prescribe the patch for panic disorder/withdrawal issues unless it was in an impatient setting, could be wrong though.

I don't know much about clonodine but I do know some people who take propranalol to get over social anxiety. It is not addictive. I think they have similar properties and both reduce blood pressure. You only take propranolol as a pill when you need it. Musicians take it to get over stage fright.

Guest [ke...] Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 There have been several celebrities and so on that have been on Benzo's.. and it seems to me they should speak out more, but they don't. To name a few Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Eminem.. it's like they just push it aside, also Winona Ryder, she was hooked on xanax.. it was 2007.. as I remember, how did that ever come about.. who knows?

[al...] Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Well a lot of the earlier seasons were like heroin and crack addicts and alcoholics. But the newer seasons have a lot more accidental prescription drug addicts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[su...] Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 I agree Dr. Drew has the pulpit to get this issue in the headlines but this is showbiz. If I was a eloquent writer with good grammar skills ect... I would write to him and ask him to make benzo issues Public Enemy # 1 I did send Shelly a email thanking her for what she does and I told her about my dependency on Ativan she wrote me back telling me to keep going to meetings.... great advice; NOT ! I don't do AA meetings... I know many people do but I don't. Keep Coming Back it works ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
