The other day i got a name for a suffering i was having. -Akathisia- from -brain injury- for stopping benzo use.

I already knew i was having other symptoms from stopping this drug.

Like 13 years ago, i cold turkey of clonazepam i was taking for years. I could have died i found out later.
The suffering was terrible, i wasn-t able to recover since then, nobody believed me,
they said -the drug on your system couldn't have lasted this long.-

But i learned that this can damage your nerves or brain.

I constantly felt a feel of terror, which was not spiritual, like someone described it -is a chemical or physical terror-
I felt restless all the time constantly, and couldn-t relax,
The symptoms that caught more my attention and felt identified with were however that when you are suffering this
movement can alleviate a bit the symptoms making you feel better, i usually shacked my leg when i was sitting
or walked back and forth around the house.
And other symptons.

I wasn-t resting, when i couldn-t go no more i would fall asleep, some nights i couldn-t sleep, i just coulnd-t do it and felt better thinking about God and watching some videos Being alone and in the quiet of the night play some games.

It is said that is the worst symptom a drug can cause, some described it as hell on earth and the worse torture.

I couldn't have survived this long without God, lots of people think of offing themselves, having hope faith and strength from Him helps a lot.

----------------

The other day, i sent a message to my pastor telling her this, she said that i should renounce that and she would pray..

Later in the day, i started screaming to God -Heal me! Heal me! i believe you can do it!- and immediately felt relief, this happened like 10 times.

The feeling of physical terror eventually went away.
The restlessness went away and felt more relaxed.
I didn-t need to shake my leg anymore when sitting, had some impulses to do it maybe because years of the same, but my leg now felt tired, and i would stop, before i was always restless. Someone said is like Sargent in your body pushing you and screajming telling you to keep going even when you can-t do it anymore.
I stopped walking back and forth like that in my house kitchen.

There is no shame in depending of our creator, he is big!
Having hope and faith helps a lot because you know God is powerful, And can act in your benefit since he is merciful.

I would never play with the wishes of recovery of people suffering this, i went through this for more than 10 years and i know how it is.

THANK YOU GOD!.

Glad to hear of your recovery, benzos can be the worst med to withdraw from, it is highly addictive and withdrawals can be life-threatening and even permanent. I became a little addicted to ativan years ago, the withdrawals finally subsided after about 2 months, I can never take it again.
