3 years and a half update


[Br...]

Recommended Posts

42 months ago, I was taking my last dose of lexomyl, an europrean benzo...

 

I had the full package of symptoms...

 

Mainly psychological...deep anxiety, dr/dp, insane wawes, very bad sleep (worst than insomnia), cortisol morning, agoraphobia,...etc

 

At 22 months off, I realized that I was a protracted withdrawal profile.

I was unable to feel really good, confortable...and it pissed me off

I sank into a growing anger, without any mercy for anybody.

However, at this time, the symptoms were bearable.

But I was very sensitive, very emotional.

I was not me, no way to get back my "old life".

Today, at 3 years and a half off, I began to recovery a "freedom feeling".

For sure, I am stronger

For sure, I am not the same guy

Of course my life changed, I'm loneliness now

Of course I am lost, not with life's stuff, but with life's goal.

That's tough...

If I want to stay positive, I should like to say that the best is yet to come.

It's evident !!

All is clean now !!

No unhealthy food, no cigarettes, no alcohol, no psyco-drugs, no unbalanced lifestyle,..etc

No more waves, sleep nearly normal, cog fog and anxiety very low, brain disorder not so much disabling, emotions and perceptions almost ok.

But I am tired

I gave so much energy to this journey...

Obviously, we don't have any choice...

Hang in there Buddies, until the complete end of the withdrawal symptoms.

And then, finding a new place in this life

Stay calm, keep the faith, don't give up.

It's worth it, trust me

love you Buddies

Happy to hear you are making progress Braddis. Thanks for the encouragement because this is a very tiresome journey. I am 35 months off and also getting a little tired of this long road. Like you said, we will not give up because the best is truly yet to come!

 

Peace and Blessings

Hey, Braddis. I'm now 33 months off and while many things have gotten better, I still have pretty bad emotional instability, especially when I don't sleep well. I wonder if the emotional instability ever really goes away.

You're still there Buddies...

Good to have some news, hope you're doing well throughout this journey.

Our testimonies are important for those still suffering.

They want to know is there is an end of  this nightmare, and yes, there is an end !!

And before the end, there are improvements !!(each 6 months in my case)

And believe me, I was in a very critical situation.

To occupied your mind is the key, whatever you're doing.

Step by step, day by day, month by month, year by year, you will succeed.

Force et honneur

Braddis,

I'm so glad to see another person healing from this terrible pill. You sound strong and determined and lovely! What a journey...

May I remind you that you are still you under all that pain and discomfort, and I believe when all the symptoms go away you will feel more like yourself than you have ever felt before, because through this journey you have gained clarity and lost the nonsense. I'm sure your eyes have been opened to what really matters, you have taken your health in your own hands, you have learned how much you can deal with and come out of it victorious!

Best wishes of healing, love and happiness to you!

Thank you for sharing. :smitten:
