Almost 4 years out


[lo...]

Recommended Posts

4 years ago I came to this website in desperation not knowing what to do. Thought I would give an update.

 

I honestly thought I was going to die at first. But I went to a rehab. I got tapered off using valium. I was screwed up mentally and physically for 2 months. I was put on neurotin. Well that became an issue all on it's on. I was on neurotin for a year and a half and it was giving me sweaty palms and anxiety at night. I had to go to a detox to even get off of that. I didn't sleep for 3 days straight and started hallucinating. Went to detox again and got tapered off of the neurotin with pheno barb. Felt 10 x better after I was completely off. I'm still on the baclofen. Around 2016, 2 years after discontinuation I finally felt like me again. But I was still very emotional until one year later when my emotions balanced out. This coming April will be 4 years off. I'm going back to detox to get off the baclofen whenever I get the money.

 

Anyhow, my success story is here. I'm a crew member with this website who allowed me to publish my experience and bring greater awareness about the benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome.

Hang in there, it gets better. Time takes time what they told me in the rooms.

Congratulations lolwut for this great achievement! Thanks a lot for sharing.

I wish you good luck with the last challenge, but getting off of baclofen should not be a problem.

And I'm sure that you'll enjoy a healthy and happy life again!
