Please do not taper by yourself. My doctor tapered me too quickly off on Klonopin, Xanax, and Hydrocodone after 21 years. I am 19 months off and I am having protracted withdrawal that has stopped my life in its tracts. If you go to Beating Benzos a Facebook group there is a man named David that the moderators can turn you on to and he will do a safe taper schedule for you. He did one for me but my doctor only gave me 8 mos to get off and I had to cut too soon and today I have
Benzo belly which is very painful, neuropathy in hands and feet, Tinnitus, and awful anxiety. I have Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia but at least with the meds could function. I have overwhelming fatigue from tapering too fast and was told it could last for 5 years. I need help and can't find a doctor to help me. There's a Doctor that helps people like me in Cali but I live in NY.

I know there is a good chance I will end up in the emergency room.ood news you are looking for a doctor. I will be leaving in Myrtle Beach so if anyone knows a good doctor please tell me. There are excellent detox facilities where I currently live in Prescott, Arizona, but I am moving to the east coast in two weeks.
