Anyone Else Got a Benzo Taper Problem?
    #19030465 - 10/25/13 10:52 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I recall first time I posted here it was said to me that this is a rather close community.  Well I need that.  I need some support.  I am not on ketamine yet.(That requires travel and in no way am I in any shape to travel as much as I want to get on it).  I have been having such a hard time with this benzo taper.  No sleep, weak legs, panic, depressed.  Truly, it is awful.  Anyway I need to talk to someone on here just for support.  And if there is anyone else out there who successfully made it off this class of medications please let me know.  I am so glad I found this site, so glad I was told it was a close community.  I feel rather alone.

I went through seizures getting off benzos years ago. Worst time of my life.

Good luck.

Yes like 15 years ago I also had seizures c/t Xanax.  I wish I never would have gotten on them again but I was getting awful panic attacks (that are of course worse now than the original ones)...wish I never would have touched them again.  But I did and I guess I have to deal with this taper best I can.  It is just so frustrating.

A guy in my recovery group successfully quit benzos.  (was doing 3-5 bars a day + alcohol)

He said the first week was pretty rough, and actually experienced seizures on his 2nd or 3rd day clean. 

It's been 12 days for him now and he's finally getting good sleep.

good luck. I've never had to taper from benzos but I've got addiction issues. This community can either help or hurt, depending on which parts of it you use. stay out of the ODD, especially the CA thread

Hi all...I am around 55mg Valium right now.  God it is so high.  I slept one hour last night...cannot sleep at ALL!  Driving me crazy.  Wish I never would have touched them...they were not recreational for me.  But I did, and I have to keep tapering.  And keep talking to you all!

You cannot o/d on them.  I am almost positive.  Only one I could think of is temazepam.  It is so strong.  But I am almost positive there is no benzo o/d without other drugs in the mix.  And for me right now there is not!

I went through a xanax taper last year over the course of 3 months.
Record your dosages and decrease in increments that suit your situation.
Benzo withdrawls can be dangerous but usually only cold turkey.
The Symptoms of withdrawl are long lasting even once your fully tapered.
It will take months to feel yourself again.
stay on track, don't look back.
I have faith in you.

I quit klonopin a few years ago. I am trying to quit xanax right now. It seems harder than Klonopin. I am on 3 mg a day. I am not real worried about it. I will quit when my life is less stressful.

WRONG!!
You can od on caffeine and water.
Anything in excess will kill.
True the majority of cases include benzos and opiates.
Valium has an LD50 of 1240mg in rats.

The xanax LD50 in rats is 331-2171 mg/kg. I would have to take at least 29,000 mg if I was I giant rat.

I'm attaching an ebook called "Worse Than Heroin" to this post.  Check it out, it's all about benzo addiction.  You may get some useful info from it.

:eek: so it really was pointless for me to be hospitalized when I took 24 xanax bars

Are you a giant rat?

I don't know I just copied that from wikipedia. Ask drkenny, he's a doctor.

LD50s don't quite work like that. Half the rats die from taking less than the LD50, so it does not really tell you anything about the minimum lethal dose except that it must be lower. The LD1 or 0.1 would be better indicators of a minimum lethal dose, if they're available.

They don't publish the ld01 do they?

I just look up the max therapeutic dosage for what I am taking and try to stay under that.

Depends on the substance I think, but it seems to be much more common to see the LD50 available. I just wanted to make the point that misinterpreting the LD50 as a minimum lethal dose could potentially be a fatal mistake for someone. The max therapeutic dosage thing seems like a much safer way to go.
