RitaBelle: Nerve Pain

[RitaBelle]

Hi Tapering Friends;

I wanted to share some great news about nerve pain. I have an injury from incorrectly taking and tapering Clonazepam.
I have terrible nerve pain on the left side of my body. 
I had some recent stressors and trauma and the pain went up into my head and I almost didn’t make it. 
I know so many of you are going through the same debilitating pain. 

Here is what helped me turn the corner. 

Pure CBD Oil 30mg under the tongue every 6 hours with 2 extra strength Tylenol. No THC. 

I took this combination every 6 hours and it got me through. 

Don’t ever stop fighting friends! That was just 2 weeks ago and I am stabilizing again and feeling so much better. Now just taking the CBD oil 1-2 times per day. There is Hope. 
 

Jumped off from Clonazepam taper of 0.125 April/24

Currently tapering Seroquel 22.5mg

Holding Escitalopram 10mg

Hi @RitaBelle

 

Welcome to SA,

 

Thank you for this great update! We don't tend to recommend any other substances here at SA, but I'm glad this worked for you   I experienced a lot of nerve pain myself, so I can appreciate how difficult it is to deal with. May I ask how long you were taking clonazepam? What was your taper like?

 

When did you start your seroquel taper? I wonder if you could please update your signature to include the start dates of your medications. 

 

Have you seen our thread on which drug to taper first?

Thanks Lotus for allowing my post and I sure hope it helps others. 

I’ll work on my story and post soon. 
Thank you!

I took the Clonazepam for 14 months. I tried to stop taking it so many times but was unsuccessful. Finally got off April of this year. That’s when I found the amazing WD community and found out all my chest/back pain is actually a CNS injury. Yikes! 😬 

I just started my Seroquel taper from 25mg. 
Thank you for all you do. 🥹 The support from the WD community has been life saving for me.

Hi Warriors;

 

So my symptoms exploded about 6 weeks ago as all the trauma came out about what I have been through. 😢
Insomnia, panic attacks, debilitating nerve pain, just horrendous. 
I found a new brain health center here in Kelowna, British Columbia Canada. 
🇨🇦 Hi fellow Canucks! 
It is called Elumind. There are currently only 3 in the country. 
I am doing PBM Photobiomodulation and Neurofeedback. I have only had 5 sessions and I am already feeling better. 
Amazing Centre and affordable. 
 

Keep fighting everyone! There is Hope.
