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.

I’m assuming any family, friends, doctor know you’ve been bed bound for 3 years and have done nothing to help you sort this out?

My husband dies as much as he can. Family have gone, not interested

My husband does, not dies, sorry

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.

I am so sorry that you are having such a hard struggle with the withdrawals. Did the doctor explain how long it will take to feel normal again? I did suffer with a bout of derealization, right after I came home from an outpatient procedure which I was under anesthesia for, and it happened two days later. I was sitting in the living room watching TV, during the evening hours and it felt like an "out of body experience." The next morning, I was fine. I have figured out that anesthesia does not agree with me ever since benzo withdrawal, and I have to be careful with that now. My prayers go with you and God has you in the palm of his hand. Stay strong in your faith and try to get around other people as much as you can, so that you can start to feel normalcy in baby steps. Eventually, it will get better as you increase self-confidence. (I believe that the brain gets stronger as it heals.) Also, try not to let your feelings get hurt by the absence of family. Often times, family doesn't understand; and therefore, they feel fear and grief. Eventually, you will get strong enough and at the right time, you will be able to explain it to them, hopefully. Life is always teaching us, my friend.

What does your doctor say about this?
