MY BENZO EXPERIENCE: What it Feels Like to Take a Benzodiazepine for Anxiety

[Vince]

Published on Apr 1, 2015
Some days I wake up with nearly crippling anxiety for no apparent reason. This was one of those days unfortunately and after suffering through my physical symptoms for many hours like I often do, I decided to take 1 mg of Ativan (Benzodiazepine) and film my experience on it and how it affected my anxiety.

This manual is very popular to get off benzos:
Benzodazapine Dependency and Withdrawal

Benzo addition and the crippling withdrawals are indeed dangerous. After my decade+ long stint on opiates, I was prescribed 2mg klonopin to help with the post accute anxiety and restless leg syndrome. Needless to say, this became another crutch for me. I got so fed up with my life and with Doctors and their careless prescription practices, that I decided to stop my klonopin and lexapro cold turkey after 2 years of taking them. It of course sent me spiraling into madness yet I was so determined NO MATTER WHAT to stop that my will to get better carried me through 3 months of mental torture.

Please use caution with benzodiazepines!
