Hi REqcrg!

Thanks buddie 

I see you jumped not so long ago yourself...BIG CONGRATS to you!

I read through your posts and am so sorry you are still struggling. It seems as if some of us who are sensitive to benzo have such a difficult time through out this whole process. Just want you to know that you will heal too, it just may take a longer time than you would like to get there. You are strong too and proved your strength just by completing your taper. The worst is over, things only get better from here...keep yourself distracted, stay positive and never ever give up hope...

Congratulations [...] & others posting here who have completed & are on to feeling either themselves, once again, or some new normal - which may be even better.  I wanted to make sure I did that first, but really posted here so that I have some reassurance I'll find this again to read when my concentration is better & eyes aren't as sore & there's no "watch thread" to keep in a user control panel in order to have that reassurance: that's only guaranteed by posting on a thread.  If I'm mistaken, please PM me on that-would appreciate!

Thank you for your story! Some days I just get furious that doctors are even prescribing this stuff but it made me even more cautious of what I put in my body now. I am almost 9 months out and hope to see some longer windows soon. Head pressure seems to be my last symptom that I can’t shake but I am much better than what I used to be! 🙏🏽

Hello [...]!

You are welcome!

Sounds like you are almost there. Hopefully the head pressure subsides soon. Glad you are feeling so much better. This is GREAT news!
