The sad thing is that doctors don't know shit about withdrawal symptoms because most of them have never experienced it, better getting advice from previous addicts!

I walked to the post office today after being bed bound four days. Yay 🙌 2mg of V to go 😅. Love your videos ❤

This is exactly the video I needed. Thank you so much. I started Xanax 8 years ago, then went through (I don’t even know what to call it) during covid… the father of my 3 children started taking adderall, over 30 20mg pills a day and went into total psychosis thinking there were invisible people in our attic, that the feds were hiding in our house. That I was hiding cameras in my kids bedrooms closets… he got put in jail several times for freaking out and having our neighbors call the cops. My doctor upped my Xanax prescription, then he died. Out of no where, at the age of 35. In front of my children and I was so traumatized I didn’t know what else to do but to continue the medication. Now I’m on .5mg of kolonipin, daily, trying to “wean” myself off of benzos, I go to school, work and also obviously have 3 kids to take care of. But every time I try to actually stop the kolonipin I still feel exactly how you describe. The withdrawal is HORRIBLE. And with 3 kids, a job and school I quite literally cannot afford the time to deal with the withdrawals. I SO so so so wish I did because I want to just be done with it so badly…

I've been diagnosed with MS two years ago at 25y/o, now I'm addicted to clonazepam (benzo) and I can't live without it. These benzo stories scare the hell out of me

Most benzo info I have read regarding the brain focuses solely on what's going on in the synapse. This is the first video I've seen that actually frames some symptoms in terms of maladapted neurological pathways and the way exposure therapy can actually help us rewire our fear responses. I think this is a tremendously important perspective. Huge insight!

I'm watching again. Woke up in a full blown panic attack. This video helps calm me.

Took me two years to get off benzos - NEVER AGAIN

I am coming off this week after a 1 1/2 taper off benzos and I couldn’t have watched this at a better timing, hell is an understatement of what we go through. Thank you for this video you have given me hope 🙏

When night time falls,that's the worst,especially when sleep is a danger rather than a comfort.

Anxiety sufferer... Best thing i ever did was go all natural. Stop getting drunk, exercise, cold showers, breathing, fasting, earthing, clean diet, etc. I was the guy wanting that magic pill. You have to put in the work if you truly want to heal. Its by far the BEST route.

At the same time saddened while thankful to hear testimonials like yours as I know we were not alone .

I tapered klono for 1.5 yrs. Had protracted withdrawal for another 2yrs after my last pill. Doc had me on opioids, ambien and klono for 10yrs. I’m 9 yrs off now and life is good. I lost 4yrs of my life but praise god I still have my life! I too had panic attacks walking to the mailbox. I pushed the boundaries too… going to the grocery store…. Was 💯 scary! Your story sounds like mine

Brilliant neuro plasticity is the key to recovering from anxiety disorders / nervous system dysregulation after benzos

I really needed to hear this. You’ve given me more hope than I had this morning. Thank you so much for sharing your story. ❤

Jesus christ, that doctor is evil. I'm genuinely glad to hear your voice speak with such pride at this point. This is such a bag of mixed feelings. Can't believe these doctors get away with this shit. Subscribed! Looking forward to explore your world and videos.

I'm coming off xanex and I am in pure absolute hell...I've been searching for answers for a long time... No answers anywhere whatsoever...... been on this medication for a very long time... I appreciate you trying to help... Thank you... Yeah opiates were easy compared to this... unbelievable
