Benzodiazepine Withdrawal

Back


See what happens after years of taking anxiety medication: Benzodiazepine.

UPDATE: I'm NOT the person in the video!
This guy's name is Marco and he says he was prescribed Klonopin for 29 years, abruptly discontinuing Sept.23,2006...

Please contact the following users: marcostripling or his friend, zjamesb for futher information. Sorry for the confusion, but I was just helping him post this video because he couldn't do it at the time. Thanks.

i feel so bad for him. Sometimes, when I take my ADD medication, my muscles twitch, but it never hurts and its not a spasm. This must be terrible and horribly annoying. I couldn't imagine.

paxil...please. Paxil is childrens candy compared to benzos. I can't think of one good reason why benzos are legal, unless theres a market for brain damage.

only someone who has been through a benzo c/t can understand how vey real this situation is.Benzos are extemeley insidous,and can cause untold devestation for many many people never underestimate these clever, powerful chemicals.Never EVER stop benzo`s abruptly.unless you havnt a life to be getting on with.Marco,i hope you are doing well!

i have stopped Alprazolam/Xanax abruptly in the past but never experienced these symptoms....albeit, i was only taking about 2 mg per day max!! how much do you have to take or how long to experience these symptoms - yikes!! he should've titrated the dose first - this is surreal.....

The benzodiazipines. I want my doctor to ween me off of them so I don't have to worry about becoming COMPLETELY dependent on them for my feelings of un-reality and panic attacks.
