I'm trying come off this I think its not helping and maybe the problem of a lot my symptoms o was on 2 mg a day now I'm down to 1mg split to 4 pieces every 5 hours insomnia teeth metallic numb really dry mouth tired all day constant headache sick feeling in morning in stomache and flu like symptoms also in my ear when wake up like whooshing and heartbeat sound crazy feel terrible anyone similar or advise
I'm on diazepam but I want an alternative. I'm 46 today and I've had enough of this horrible illness all my life.
When I was a child I used to twist my hair in knots and pull it out (trichotillomania)
I actually read that longterm use of benzodiazapines makes anxiety worse.
I may wean myself off it at a reducing does like they do in alcohol detox.
Good luck Nick
Me too I need to sort something out my whole life to on same age too nightmare I want least have some quality wat I have left wish you the best you can inbox me some symptoms or what you go through if you like I feel I'm only one hate it
I am going to see my GP and give it one more go. Ideally I would like to try therapy but I can't afford £60 a week.
My symptoms are mostly severe butterflies in my stomach, high levels of fear and worry and very nervous. I need to know that I am liked/loved by people. That's a worry, relationship anxiety, where I stand with people defines my self confidence levels.
Feeling isolated and lost in life with no direction or clear cut ideas where I am going in life. Lots to talk about, maybe we can counsel each other.
