I'm very sorry to hear that, and as far as my story goes it's new I'm almost 56 now and still on 2mg 3×@ day and a 14 hour drive one way to get them leaving 3-7 after my appointment, this medication has given me many health issues as well and has kept me from getting weight loss surgery which I need , I have liver issues, kidney issues,heart issues and now pancreas issues but that's due from zepbound, I can't find a Dr within a few hundred miles who will give me this medication, people say I'm an addict, maybe addicted, but I was 15 ,I didn't know any better, when your that age you listen and I was told it was not habit forming, that was a lie ,I was also told I have a law suit , just wouldn't know how to go about it , I'd love to come off but with everything health wise and life in general I don't think it's a good idea , and Ativan,yeah I was a zombie on that ,I did landscaping and drove a commercial mower into the judges house/ garage and swore I didn't do it , because I don't remember doing that ,the evidence proved I did ,I was put on it after my fiance was killed in fathers day of 2011 and still on xanex ,I don't feel like me anymore and I see no help in sight . I wish you the best of luck and know I do understand what you have gone through and continue to do so . Oops I just discovered you weren't talking to me,but I wrote all this so I'm posting it . Lol
Good luck

That was a new post and I had just recently got off of it. It also ruined my body. I was also anorexic very anorexic because of being unable to eatand I couldn’t really afford to lose any more weight. They want to put me in the hospital and put a feeding tube in.Not only that the 50 years I had been working out all my muscle mass just disappeared in my skin was just left saggy and wrinkled. So many doctors and psychiatrist tried to get me on Effexor thinking that that was gonna help get me off of .this. Nothing but glorified drug pushers. I refuse to take it any antidepressant.It was bad enough the benzo I was on I had only taken for a month, but it took me almost 5 months to find help from somebody that doesn’t even live in this country on a benzo website on FacebookWhat a sad society of doctors we have here, that have no problem prescribing this, but do nothing to help us get get off of it and think we’re crazy if we want off. So parrot fed in medical school they don’t learn the truth about any of this poisonAntidepressants are just as bad if not worse. Any of these feel good drugs are only supposed to be taken for a certain amount of time and even then if you read the warnings, they can still cause a dependency
So many people are suffering from this right now they have no idea why they’re having all these other problems and it all boils down to one thing. It’s been two or three months since I completely got off, still having problems with sleeping. I have gotten all my weight back but what it did to my skin at 73 is not reversible,so I deeply sympathize with you. I know how horrible it is that these drug companies and doctors are not responsible for any of this. The life’s they have ruined is atrocious and appalling. I also still have mental symptoms that come and go my head feels like it’s in a vice, some days I can hardly even function. My memory is spotty. Another thing what it does is it destroys the gaba receptors in your
Brain which can take years to heal after you get off of this poison. Never thought at this time my life would be dealing with this. The only reason I even got on this because my husband died a very horrible death with sepsis in the hospital, and my doctor told me to take 1 mg three times a day like an idiot I did. Oh, I could go on and on. I am so glad you got off of this stuff. Thank you for the reply. I would love to hear more about the problems you had on this poison that they prescribed to us..

I am sorry sorry. I feel your pain. I was tapered off clonazepam in 2018. Way over medicated by primarily psych but a lot of other meds as well. Currently my escitalporam dose was reduced to 5mg .From 10mg. Lifestyle changes work for me. I am continuously working on them. Overmedicated for profit of big pharma.
