In reply to BENZODIAZAPINE WITHDRAWL...please help!!!, posted by jodsteroo on May 29, 2001, at 2:33:26
I'm on BZD withdrawal right now from Xanax. It's not easy, but I switched to valium and followed the schedule of .5mg reduction every 1-2 weeks, alternating day and night, without reducing my bedtime dose until the end- so you take your dose 3 times daily. I get depressed and anxious and have trouble talking, and some disturbed sleep, for maybe about 4 days after each taper. Mediation has helped me. You just have to stick through it and know that you won't always feel this way. I think neurotin may help also, I'm on lamictal now myself. hope this helps!
> has anyone gone through a benzo withdrawl? i tapered slowlet but still getting extreem withdrawl symptomed and its been almost a month since i stopped klonopin at 1/8th of a mg.im having extreem muscle tension and headaches...and tons of other psysical symptomes... has anyone else gon through this and if so how long did it last before you felt better?
