[ro...] Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I;m 20 mts out from my last benzo. I have pretty much had the vibrations( feels like butterfly's) in my legs and feet and hands, It makes my arms and legs so fatigued. It got better ,still there but better. Then on Oct 15 It came back with a vengeance. My sleep was better then... wham. My legs are so restless again also. I really can't take any more. I can't go no for 2 more years like this, Has anyone had this happen this far out this long get better? I will give it some time and see a natural DR first then if that doesn't help I don't see any other choice but to go back on. I get no sleep and no quality of life .

[ro...] Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks Pinkee......Hope others will respone. I really am afraid and confused. I don't want to reinstate after so long, but I can't keep suffering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Pi...] Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I know, suffering gets exhausting after so long! It literally wears us out! Is there something u can do that's nice for yourself? I went and had a pedicure a couple of weeks ago! It was such a spoil. And I now have lovely feet! If I do say so myself! maybe u could do something like that for yourself...? Or have u got any interests? Can u garden, or embroider or cook? Something . Anything to give u a lift! Just some ideas. xxoo Pinkee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[sp...] Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi robbin, Sorry to hear that you're going through such difficulty I just wanted to let you know that I have seen a lot of people come through here who were still suffering at 19 months, and improved a lot in the year or so after that. It can get better. The fact that you were better and are now worse again really makes me think you'll improve again, and it might not take long. I know how frustrating this is; I'm 7 months out, right now I'm fine, but a month or two ago I was miserable, and who knows how I'll feel next week. :-/ We'll get through it, though!

[da...] Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Robin, Did you tried to take Magnesium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ro...] Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Darkshadow....I was taking liquid magnesium gly, but the manufacture is restructuring it, so Its on back order. I have an absorption problem and the pills just don't work. I defiantly have gotton worse being without. I'm taking pills and I am opening the capsules and try and mix with water, but sill doesn't work very well. I also can't absorb foods and foods pass through me in about 10 hrs.

[am...] Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi Robin, I completed a direct taper off of Ativan in June. It took 2 years. On my fourth month off I started to get pretty heavy duty sympoms. At five months they were worse and now they are letting up again but it was scary. All that to say, it gets better. It will get better. I found the book Benzo-Wise to be a life saver. Have you read it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[am...] Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 It was written by Bliss Johns. It is my bible right now. I don't think I could have gone this far without what I read in that book. You should be able to order it on Amazon.com. amb56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
