Please Help - San Jose, CA

[mourningperson]

Hello,
Is there anyone who has successfully gotten off of Benzos
who would be willing to call me and give me some phone
support?
I'm down from 35 mg of Valium to 22 mg/day - after switching from Klonopin - (Ashton taper).
I'm extremely panicky and hopeless, and would really appreciate talking to someone who has made it through this terrible experience.
Sincerely - mourningperson

Hello MorningPerson and welcome to the forum,

Sorry you had to find yourself in the same mess as many of us are/have been. You will find a lot of support here at the forum. There is a lot of reading and relating to others on here. This is a very scary thing to go through, but with the support of this forum you will wont feel quite as alone in all this. Keep posting and you will make some new friends on here. It takes time to establish new relationships, so just get to know people a little bit here by reading their stories and posting. Eventually you will meet someone that you will connect with, and you can talk on the phone. For now, until you do find someone to call you, just hang out here with us and post.

Many are reluctant to call or give out their phone numbers to a new person until they get to know someone better. It is a matter of privacy, and of our own recovery process also. I myself have reached out to a couple new people in the past via the phone, and learned the hard way that we must be very careful who we actually give our phone numbers too. Please do not take it personal if we are reluctant to call. It takes time to build trust and establish relationship enough to take it to the next level of phone calls. We are here to offer you support and get to know you better.

You will get through this if you stay close to the forum with others that understand what you are going through. We do understand; many have recovered and moved on. Some recovered before only to find themselves in this mess again, and others are going through this for the first time. You will find many different stories here, but all have pretty much the same theme> Recovering from Benzo's.
 

Hang in there,

Donna
