[Os...] Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Since of November of 16 I’ve been off Xanax the first couple of months of withdrawal were the hardest thing I’ve ever faced in my life at points I thought I was gonna die but then I hit like the 4-5 months and I started too feel better thinking I was healed completely I thought that was it, but then I started too gain weight then in the 15 month it has come back with A vengeance plus weight gain and anxiety has caused me too get high blood pressure so now I’m trying too eat right and go too the gym but it’s hard when your constantly nauseated, fatigued, dizzy, chest pain, anxiety I could go on on ... but yesterday I went too emergency room with chest pain and my blood pressure was at 168/102 (very high) then my 15 month sober was broke yesterday I was given A diazepam too calm me down then my bp dropped too 130/90 much lower but I’m hoping the diazepam med doesn’t interfere with my brain repairing its self from the initial Xanax? just know this doesn’t last forever one day we will all be healed if with keep fighting thru the hardship.

[ma...] Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hello Oscar Welcome to Benzobuddies We are glad you joined our community. sorry you are having a rough time right now, it will get better again. It can take quite a while for the CNS to recover after complete withdrawal. You did right going to ER, although chest pain can be a withdrawal symptom, it needs to be investigated. Try not to worry about the one dose of diazepam. Withdrawal symptoms can be relentless, you have to remind yourself they are temporary. I would suggest you read The Ashton Manual, it will give you a better understanding on why you feel the way you do. It is a great resource about the effect benzo’s have on our body, It also includes a list of common symptoms You will find some very valuable support and information on the forum.

[es...] Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 That's so hard. You're strong I can tell. You'll get through it and feel good and free of the withdrawal symptoms. I'm still tapering and I'm having a better day today than yesterday. One day at a time I guess hugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
