has anyone here been addicted to benzos, gone through withdrawal and then tripped after or during the withdrawal?
if so, how was the trip effected?

major anxiety leading to a difficult trip probably, and a possible onset afterwards of hppd. or the vulnerable mindset might lead you to a thought pattern that could help you in the problem with addiction or the anxiety
in theory... no experience

yeah i still have symptoms now too, but i notice them going away all the time. I was up to like 8-12mg xanax a day and i was on them for a few years, i am getting better all the time and i am glad to be out of the hole. Yeah actually rolling felt amazing because i hadn't in so long cause of my weening.
how about yourself?

how about yourself?
i was on 4 mg a day (xanax just like you) for a couple of years til my mental state deteriorated to severe depression and irritability and i tapered off. now the depression and irritability are so much better but i have trouble thinking and focusing and head pressure and some sound sensitivity still.
the only drug i have done since coming off is ketamine and that went fine. i would like to trip again but, don't feel ready yet.
what symptoms do you have and how long have you been off now?

yeah i am at the same place, i want to but just feel ready, this whole thing has really made me change my drug use a lot. I have muscle spasms and lots of increased panic and hypochondria. I Have been off for about 3 monthes and can finally smoke weed without panicing so i think its all getting back in tune.

glad to hear you can smoke weed again. we are at about the same place and still very early on at only 2-3 months, so hopefully there will be lots more improvement.
i dont have muscle spasms but i have had hypochondria. i would think the craziest things like "this store smells weird, i don't think i can eat the food from here". i'm trying to make myself do some of the things i was so scared of now to prove that it won't make me sick. can you think and focus your mind well? experience emotions?

I have a bunch of crazy thoughts how i am going to die and think that i am like in visioning how i am going to die and a bunch of crazy shit, but just recently it has really died down and i am starting to feel normal, i was having insane freakouts thinking i had cancer and shit it was nuts. I do feel like i am never going to be really excited about anything ever again though so i hope that changes.

yeah i'm in the same boat. thankfully, i have not lost total responsiveness, for instance i can still enjoy music to a degree. it's just diminished.
