Rosetta Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I’m thinking of you, Alan. The good news I have is that I keep getting colds. My reaction to cold viruses was nearly non-existent for years, and now my system has healed enough to make me miserable again. Yeah! I couldn’t go to see fireworks yesterday because I felt so bad. I’m sad about that, but it does tell me that I am back to normal in the immune response category. It’s funny the things we appreciate after this horrible experience. I hope you are ok. Are you getting support from another forum? I hope so. Everything will be different in the future. Please keep that in mind. I know that, right now, It feels as if there is no hope, but I am so much better, and I’m continuing to improve, too. I’m very glad I survived — that I chose to keep going. It was worth it.

Moderator DataGuy Posted July 13, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hi @Alan1234, I hope you have improved some. When I finally got off the clonazepam I had 3 pretty horrific months where I lost around 10lbs per month, my stomach didn't work and slept around 2-3 hours per night + a bunch of other symptoms. I honestly thought I would die. At the end of month 3, my weight stabilized and I very slowly started to improve. A few months later things were much more tolerable and have continued to get better slowly, although it is not quite measurable in days or weeks. The acute period of withdrawal is the worst, you just need to hold on and allow your body to heal, even though it might not feel like that is what's happening. 1 Remeron - 2004-2005 (bad withdrawal) Clonazepam - 2005-2018 (jumped around March) Olanzapine - 2014- late 2017 Domperidone - 2008-2018 Many drugs in between including Lexapro, other benzos and z-drugs. Still suffering post-withdrawal from Clonazepam (Klonopin), Olanzapine and Domperidone. Link to comment
