This has taken too much of my life!!!

Hi, I’ve been in recovery since January 2018 after a cold turkey withdrawal from a 13 year Clonzapam daily prescription. I’m 61 now and since 2018 I’ve not been able to return to a fully normal life. I still cannot travel, drive a car other than very local with no highways or much visual distractions. Time is running short and I’m damn sick and tired of there being no relief for my benzo detox damaged nervous system. I’m pissed as hell and want genuine relief.

Hi Precious, I understand your frustration.

There is a protracted board here for buddies who have been off benzos for over 18 months.

You need to apply to get access. I’m not sure how you do it but someone will help you out here I hope.

Every good wish for your recovery.
