Any positive stories about Benzo tapering? I need hope

THANK YOU! Adding your reply to my bookmarks folder "xanax withdrawal" as your experience is more informational than a lot of the clinical studies I've read.
I especially like your method for increasing dopamine!
My time on xanax has not included the weight gain or numbed out feeling but it will be interesting to see if sleep quality improves once it is out of my system. Menopause led to the panic and poor medical practice led to the addiction. Now that I'm too old for hormones to play much part in my overall chemistry, it will be interesting to see how this unfolds. First attempt was too ambitious so scheduling a longer weaning period.
Again, thank you, for your gracious and helpful response.

Hello again. I am so glad that the information was helpful. I can admit that I did experiment with myself, but I wasn't ready to have a doctor administer another medication to me, because I did not want to have to try to get off of something else later. I meant to add that I do believe that the brain has to heal, as it is going through the withdrawal process and one of the Vitamins that I did find had a calming effect, was Vitamin B1. I do not know if I was lacking in it or not. I think it can be helpful for people to request a blood test to see what vitamins they could be lacking in, especially during the withdrawal period. Another tip that I wanted to tell you was that the "success stories" are what helped motivate me to press on so much more than hearing about symptoms. We do need both accounts, but the success stories gave me so much hope. Take care and keep us posted.
