After my former doctor tried to take me off of Klonopin in one month (8 years of treatment)I went through withdrawals that could have killed me by seizure. This drug is FDA approved and highly addictive! And extremely dangerous! I am now on Atarax for anxiety. It is non-addictive.
I had a major nervous breakdown in 2/08 I could\'nt stop crying. I know the reason why. I was thrown into the grips of medications. Now I have been off work for 4 months. I don\'t feel like myself, and the Dr. won\'t lower my doses. Yes this has been a nightmare for me. I\'m not getting any money for being off work. It\'s been hard on myself and my family.Please Mr. Moore do something for us. I live in Michigan also. Thank you, Colleen
My doctor put me on far too high a dose of Klonopin, 2mg/day, for minor anxiety and sleep disturbances 10 years ago. Just recently I went through a detox program bc I realized I was ADDICTED to these involuntarily. To ween me off the Klonopin, I was given a tapering system on Valium going from 10 mg down to 0mg, dropping down .5 mg each day. I was also started on Effexor to aid with the \
My mother killed herself weaning off rivotril (klonopin)after being prescribed it long term to treat symptoms of mercury toxicity from amalgam fillings.
Benzodiazepine withdrawal was the worst chapter of my life. It is comparable to nothing except itself. I had a severe and long lasting withdrawal. At 20 months off the medications I still have symptoms...unimaginable, but true. I compare benzodiazepine withdrawal not to hell, but the scrapings of the basements of hell. Dozens upon dozens of symptoms, so instense, so painful, and so real. The most difficult aspect about the process is not being understood by other people and having to accept that...and the ignorance that exists professionally is discouraging. Bill Gates could not pay me enough to go through that again. The anxiety and muscle tension for me were the most hovering symptoms (with other symptoms albeit).
my 38 year marriage was destroyed by benzos and then he even began selling them to our 15 yr old granddaughter who is recovering. She said benzos made her mean and not care. She said mean and hateful things such as my husband and they are so emotionally anesthisized they don't care - accept where and when can I get more benzos.
I don&amp;amp;amp;#039;t believe in this Evil medication.My pain is High but , i try to live without them.sorry for my english.in frenchJe ne crois en ces medicaments diaboliques qui ne r&amp;Atilde;&amp;uml;glent rien mais au contraire tuent : moralement , socialement et pertube fortement nos vies.Puisse cette p&amp;Atilde;&amp;copy;titi on faire avancer les choses et que les coupables , les grands groupes pharmaceutiques soient jug&amp;Atilde;&amp;copy;s coupables parce qu&amp;amp;amp;#039;ils fabriquent et permettent de consommer une des drogues l&amp;Atilde;&amp;copy;gale s les plus difficiles &amp;Atilde;&amp;nbsp; stopper qui soit.Courage &amp;Atilde;&amp;nbsp; tousHope for All
I was put on ativan and xanax for severe anxiety I was having over a percieved health issue. Over a period of months I started to get what I now know was interdose withdrawals and tolerance.When the health issue was resolved, I tried to stop taking these meds - I was told by the doc that at the dosage I was at I would not be addicted! Well I thought I was losing my mind and almost killed myself! By the grace of God I found help on the internet; I switched to valium and am presently doing a slow taper off this poison. Benzos are the devil and should not be handed out like candy to uninformed or misled patients!!!!!!
i tell u what micheal moore is the last idiot who will do anything about your complaint. well now that i think about he will do a speach for u for 50,000
I have tried to get off zoloft twice now, and the side effects and withdrawl symptoms are so bad that it is nearly impossible. I am currently in action to sue this corporation for negligence and pushing poison for money!
I have been put on and off ssri's and benzo's since age 20, I am 40 now and just went thru hell with Klonopin w/d. Not one doc has ever: educated me, informed me, warned me of any of these craptastic pills! I had to do it all on my own and often times pushing thru serious side affects or w/d (Withdrawals) to find out more about what I was just put on. Several of the ssri's and Klonopin about caused me to off myself, I am surprised I am still alive... and ssri's are suppose to help with depression and suicidal ideation! I have also been put on one barbituarate and a few other choice prescribed drugs, again no one telling me of any dangers of these toxic drugs.. and they are approved by the FDA!!! They couldn't approve anything safe if THEIR life depended on it, it is our lives being killed off for: greed, money mongering, power and control. Big Pharma is no better! Get the drugs off the market and STOP off labeling all these drugs for every little ailment under the sun! I won't take another drug like this no matter how bad life gets or how much anxiety life deals out to me. Through research, I have learned that these drugs cause cancer! Terrible!
Neither the doctors who prescribe benzodiazepines nor the pharmacists who fill the prescriptions understand just how severely these nervous system drugs destroy our lives. I am a survivor and advocate for other victims like Nanci D.,this petitions author.
Drs. prescribe benzos to patients like myself, who have KNOWN addictive personalities with alchol and drug use - they don't ever encourage us to get off them and actually encourage us to stay on these highly addictive and debiliating drugs. Almost 20 years addicted to Xanax as of this year.
The doc's should stop handing these benzo's out like they don't have any consequences.Ativan has ruined my fiances life and he was the healthiest man I had ever seen before that perscription.Before a doctor hands them out so redily they should have to take them for at least 1 year and then stop them abruptly and see if they would ever do that to someone again!
