Benzo acute wd

Hello. I guess you were on Valium. Was a doctor following your taper and if so, was he able to explain the symptoms you are having? I wasn't sure what dp/dr is so can you explain that? I have been off of the benzos for almost four years, and it was a very difficult experience. I did suffer with almost the entire list of withdrawal symptoms from Benzobuddies.org. I do still have a degree of PTSD from it, but I guess that is something that I just have to deal with. During the taper, I did have some neurological symptoms, i.e., stabbing sensations from time to time, and internal tremors, but all of that is over with now. I did not sleep a lot. In fact, I did have insomnia sometimes. Being bed bound doesn't sound like a good thing to me. I can only assume that you have been given something for sleep. If so, you can ask your doctor if that is a result of the withdrawal symptoms in combination with other medications.

My taper was done under medical supervision abd safely. Dp/Dr is a very common symptom. It's Depersonalisation and Derealisation. Where you cannot relate to tge real world or your body. Mine is severe. Bedbound means you suffer fatigue from bwd or like myself I have motor control issues, again common, in bwd, so I have to lay down for longer than I wish. This has been ongoing since my taper and now acute wd. You simply cannot sit walk or stand too long.
