[JO...] Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hi there , Gosh I am sorry to read your post. It is so frustrating to get hit with this day in and out. I was doing fairly well with my taper until this weekend slammed with insomnia , obsessive thoughts, that horrible panic rush at 400 in the morning. I am really scared what is going to happen once i am off. Hope you feel better soon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mo...] Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Do you eat really well, exercise, etc? I was on Ativan for 7 months at 2 Mgs and this experience is really rough. Get crazy scary sensations in my stomach and am terrified pretty much all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ma...] Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yes, I have back and leg muscle pain every day. It is hard to walk or do any normal activity. Feels like my tendons and muscles are snapping in two. Incredibly painful. Also waves of derealization, nausea, tinnitus. All I can to is hope this isn't permanent... I feel and walk like an 80 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[bl...] Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 BM do you have any mental symptoms or is it all physical stuff? I wouldn't mind trading some of my baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ti...] Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 BMW--Did you have the same sx the first time you attempted to get off the benzos? I see you reinstated. Was it tougher or the same the second time around? I think you're body will take a bit longer to recover since you tapered twice, but it doesn't mean you won't heal...I failed my first couple of attempts too, so I know how that goes.

[...] Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Youre not the only one. I will go weeks and sometimes months w/ physical and mental symptoms everyday. I’ve seen posts from a number of people that described their entire first year as a 24/7 wave w/ absolutely no relief. BUT.....they all had some relief. Windows and healing came too. I’m w/ you BMW. Much like your signature indicates, I seemed to have improved only to be blasted the last 2 months. Exhausting. Hang in there. AMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[...] Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The way you described that in the last post tells me this is 100% w/d and it will pass. I get the exact same thing. Mine is in my arms and legs as well but also in my chest, neck and head which is horribly unsettling. Many people describe it as an inner vibrating, like our bones are tuning forks. Others just say inner shaking or trembling. Listed as a symptom by every help site on benzos. It will pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
