1 year benzo free today

I hit 1 year benzo free today.

I still have a few problems like burning and numbness throughout my body most of the time.

Some troubles with chewing and swallowing but improved a lot.

Sinus and saliva issues still there but some improvement.

Repetitive movements with my jaw, lip, nose and forehead are still a problem but less frequent.

Panic attacks are less severe recently but more frequent.

I got my brain back, now I can think clearly most days.

Body aches from minor movements are there most of the time but as I write this I'm not aching at all.

Occasionally I get a heavy chest and think it's back again but leaves in a day or two.

 

Overall I'm much better. It's taken longer than I hoped and expected and I still have problems doing basic things like going outside but it's an improvement from the hell I was in 6 months ago.

Congratulations on your 1 year Anniversary!

congratulations, that is a great milestone.

Outstanding!!!! that first year is the hardest IMO!

 

The weeks will only get better now....congratulations.

Congratulations on hitting the 1 year mark.  I've got two more months to go before I hit that point.
