Notice in my other post I didn’t share with you how to go off those nasty Benzo’s. I didn’t because I would be setting you up for failure and also running the risk of what happened to me. Plus each Doctor has their own way of wanting their patient to go off of certain medications and some even require going into the hospital. I am not a professional so my experience could be totally different than someone else’s going off of a medication. Hopefully you will be smarter than I was and consult your doctor. Please don’t listen to anyone about how they went off a certain medication you need a doctor to monitor you. Thank You
I totally agree with Martin in regards to going off this medication under supervision of your doctor that has prescribed them.
I had been on them for almost 38 years and finally decided enough of feeling like I was drugged. I was also on many other medications and also decided to go off of them but one at a time. But I didn’t share my feelings or actions with my doctors which was a big mistake. The only other medication that I can say is worse is Valium which I also have been taking for 30 years. If you don’t consult your doctor and at least let him or she know what your going to do you run the risk of many side effects one of which can be seizures. By not consulting my doctors I set myself up for failure – not being able to go off it successfully – there are correct ways of going off any medications. I was at a Christmas family get together and has a seizure in front of my young Grand Kids and my own kids. Worse of all I didn’t even bother to share what I was doing with my Wife. I am off of of those nasty Benzo’s and will never go back on them again. I had been is a really bad auto accident some 39 years ago and was having a terrible time adjusting to the Halo Brace that I was wearing do to my Fractured neck and having all of my vertebra in my neck and other area’s of my spine. I am now trying to go off Valium which I did the same thing I didn’t consult my Doctor this time either. I finally had to tell him and found out it wasn’t a good idea my body still needed them from still issues in my spine from the accident. Pills are not the answer to not sleeping but I was afraid if I quit taking them that I wouldn’t sleep. Well I wasn’t sleeping good even while taking them. I wish you all the luck. Cheers
