Depression and Anxiety at an older age

Lily, I have just recently joined you!
I went to the emergency room because I was having intense stomach and intestinal pains! Told the docs I was withdrawing from Clon. One young doc said that he preferred a glass of 🍷. My husband, young docs and I had to laugh.
BUT the next day I decided not to take the Clon. I had a small glass of sherry in the evening with my husband.
Did that again the next day. No Clonazapam!!
and no wine.
nothing for days .. was busy with family and friends.
Tonight I had a small glass of sherry. They are very small “goblets”.
I really do not feel the need to drink alcohol and more importantly I do not feel the need to take Clonazepam!🎉🎊
I cannot forget to tell you that while I was at the hospital, I called a friend who is a nun. She and her friend prayed for me!
After taking Clonazapam for years I am surprised that I do not crave it. 🎉🎊🧗🧗🏻♀️
Please keep me in your 🙏

@helengrances I'm so glad you got off of clonazapam. I still have to take it at night to help me sleep. I am now getting off of Oxycodone and once I get off of that I will get off of Tramadol. I find most of my pain is muscle spasms. I'm on a antidepressant (Lexapro) and a mood pill called Lamictal. I hope you continue to improve and thanks for your prayers for I can't bend, twist or lift anything heavy. I wear a brace too. My husband keeps on saying I'm twisting, I'm doing the best I can and don't think I am the surgeon told me if I did move that way I could pull out a Screw or break a rod. So depression set in after that visit.
I will continue to pray for you. Jeanie
