44% means almost half of the chronic users will be protracted, that's so depressive to hear.

I'd read elsewhere roughly half people experience withdrawal from AD's and benzos. Brain injury describes it well, after 32 months of this , that is definitely what it feels like!! How are you finding the Propronol? Thinking trying low dose for awful mental symptoms.

Well I can't say what improvement I felt after propranolol as my doc prescribed the same time I was prescribed benzos.

Although I tapered from 40mg to 10 mg, when I further reduced to 5 mg i was hit soooo bad. I went upto 10mg again.

I might assume p is helping with chest pain n physical anxiety.

But if you can handle the zipiclone withdrawal I won't suggest to add P.

3 years you have suffered, did you feel better than the past years? Can you feel the healing?

I wasn't too bad the first few months, but had adverse reaction to the AD's which I'm assuming made the withdrawal symptoms a lot worse. Not coping at all which is why J'm considering something else. Had lot emotional stress earlier in year from my awful family didn't help. Never had a window, getting rapid cycling symptoms and bad waves recently. Everyone keeps saying you will recover but not feeling any healing so far.iDon't really get physical symptoms with the anxiety just intrusive thoughts make you feel going crazy.

I think CT is what made you miserable.

Anyway now that the poison is out of you, you can try gingko bilova, it has been promising for many...

Or cbd oil or magic mushroom?

I think if anyhow you could reduce your suffering, then may be within a maximum of 24 months you could feel lot lot better.

You have stood so long, just few more time..

Been 32 months off zopiclone. Did try CBD oil, J'm too scared to try magic mushrooms!! Git phone appt with GP in a month see if there is anything non benzo and not AD I can take. Probably asking the impossible😕

You need to ask MsAtomicBomb for that study. It comes from this post: http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=261375.0

Thanks!

I understand that you're not healed post 34 months. That said have you noticed any significant improvements?

Hi Scaredcat, hoping you can hang in for a bit longer when healing is in sight. What are your worst symptoms after all these months? We are very impatient with ourselves aren’t we? Impatience brings stress and that doesn’t help. It’s very hard. Bless you.
