Endless withdrawal from benzos and pregabalin

Hello, I can completely understand the seemingly never ending saga of the Klonopin weaning/this has been a several year venture for me as well, and yes-it seems the medical prof. just don't get it or understand how many varied and painful symptoms go with this. Finally, I am trying a 1 ml. per day taper each day or two that I found on U-tube. I am now down from 3 mg of K. per day to 1.9 mg after 7 months. Initially, the doc tried a 3 week fast taper after 25 years of K at bedtime. That was insane and lasted only a very few days before reinstating-have not been the same since. Has impacted so many aspects of my life, I thank God that my wife has been here at my side, or I would not be able to keep going day to day. I do have some renewed hope in this slow water taper, I do feel blessed that He has given me the strength to keep hope and the strength to endure this and know that one day this bad drug will be out of my system.

I think it's literally criminal they anyone ever prescribed such a large dose to such an addictive medication. You hang in there - you CAN get off of it - it takes time and determination. Look up benzo buddies online - they are support group and may have some different ideas for you. https://benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php

Wishing you the very best.

You are amazing ! Hats off to you . Klonopin is the only thing that helps with my anxiety . My zolloff stopped working and I am scared to try another one . I take 0.5 and 1/2 daily . My husband has cancer . I do therapy but nothing helps . I also take Restoril because I have insomnia . I tried trazodone but it stopped working . I admire your courage . I am so scared of long term effects but I have no choice .
