Looking for hope

Rebecca, sounds very similar to my situation. I need help with just about everything. Yes, I do have a gp who does house calls. I am going to try to have her come this Wednesday.  I just don't know what anyone can really do to help. Are you able to resume any parts of your life at this time? I know you've been through a lot.

I do some things but far from normal at this time. That could all change in an hour, though. Benzo recovery is SO unpredictable.
I was on the verge of checking myself into a hospital recently and then realized there is nothing a doctor can do for me other than put me on more medications and further complicate this. It's a strange place to be in.

Very strange place to be in. My husband and I had the hospital conversation this morning. I really can't handle any other meds. and have terrible food intolerances, so it seems too risky. My problem is I can't keep weight on, and we are worried about malnutrition. This drug has wrecked my GI. But we think a hospital might just do more damage at this point.  I understand the consideration, though, for sure. For now, I am just hanging on at home.

I have had weight issues as well. Lost 20 pounds and I am already a lean person. Can you drink smoothies? 

[[Buddie]]

Same as you. 20 pounds underweight now. Should be 125, but hovering at 105. Beyond frustrating. I have huge food intolerances, so am limited to about 10 foods right now. What kind of smoothies are you able to do? Also, are you having any gi issues? My motility has really slowed.

No GI issues. I keep it simple and do organic everything. Banana, almond milk, nut butter, had to start incorporating protein powder in as well.
