[Do...] Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 You are NOT kindled. That is a very overused term that means close to nothing but freaks people out. I withdrew like 7 times. Also my symptoms are life threatening. Complete manual breathing low blood oxygen and autonomic faliure. I want to enjoy what little time I have left can I not just reinstate and accept what time i have left. I mean this seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ho...] Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Of. course you could reinstate if you want to. But this late in the game, it might not work. It is generally recommended that beyond 2 weeks it is better to ride it out. I guess it depends on why you decided to get off the medication in the first place. For most of us, the benzos stopped working or were creating more problems than they were trying to "solve". Which it seems was the case for you. If your symptoms are life threatening, it makes sense to seek medical care. I don't know what manual breathing means but it sounds like you are having difficulty breathing? That is often referred to as "air hunger" and is a symptom that tends to pass with time. There are many people here who have experienced this and overcome it. All of your symptoms are "normal" in terms of what this medication does to the brain. It will all start getting better as your brain heals. It is slow as can be sometimes but it WILL get better. Take a look at this. Especially chapter 3. It might calm you down to know that what you are experiencing is normal in terms of what happens when we take and then stop taking these medications. https://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/ I am sorry you are struggling so much. We have all been there. It does get better if you can gut it out and let your brain heal. It will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mi...] Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Can I ask, and I’m not trying to be insensitive, just trying to understand — if you can’t breathe automatically, are you not sleeping then at all? I know for me personally, I was hyper focused on my breathing and it made me feel like I had to focus on it all the time, or I’d just stop breathing.

I am confused why they wouldn’t keep you on some kind of machine or oxygen is that was the case? Doomandgloom. Of course this is your choice. But Benzo has caused your problems. And the question is, will they get better if you reinstate? I think this is a poison in the brain and the nervous system. Side effects and tolerance, and you're back at square one. I have the same problem, and I'm struggling to breathe. And I need a CPAP, maybe this can help you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Tr...] Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 ASHTONS MANUAL: Heart and lungs. Palpitations, pounding heart, rapid pulse, flushing, sweating, and breathlessness are usual accompaniments of panic attacks, but may occur without panics. They do not signify heart or lung disease but are simply the expression of an overactive autonomic nervous system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
