Benzos Benzo taper/ muscle aches

[EarthBounded]

Hey all-

I am currently on 8mg subs been w/d from opiods for about a month, now the doctor is knocking down benzo dosage, for two years I was on 1mg xanax 3mg konlopin daily and a month ago she knocked off the xanax so 3mg clon, then 2mg clon, she just put me down to 1.5mg klonopin and my muscles are aching very bad. It feels as if I worked out without streching and I start a new job tomorrow. The doc said this is from my benz W/D I was also eating a lot of etizolam and ativan that were not scripted.

Any advice on how to cure these muscle aches,currently usings subs, magnesium and celebrex while drinking a lot of water, and taking my 1.5 of clon that will go down soon to 0 eventually probably 1mg, then .5 then jump.

She will up my subs a little she said but it still isn't helping these muscle aches

well, your doc might be right. i kinda know this feeling. so dont relay on the benzo for to long. get the shit over fast, if u use it as therapheutical method, to solve a opioid problem. better dont getting "friend" with benzo.
believe me one thing. if u think like "benzo will save my ass everytime, np", aka. you dont take it serious, then u soon will have a hard benzo w/d.
and this, in my opinion, is the REAL hell on earth. abour you muscles, i would give it some time to rest. your dosages are very high. and me on my 1-2 mg xanax also havin muscle problems, but not so worse yet.
its more the muscle twitching that kills me.... also be aware that taking benzos PLUS smoking weed / drinking alcohol, taking other drugs can lead to nasty shit, as u might know.

are u taking any SSRI or other anti-depressants too?

if i were u i would solve this problem the nature way. sounds strange maybe, but patience and time, as u should know, is the only thing that can help out in fucked up situations.
and muscel problems on opium w/d and then also benzo dosage lowering... i wouldnt worry much.

live healthy for some time. eat, drink, sleep, stay in social contact, avoid pc/internet/loneless, better take a walk instead and problems like that mostly solves itself.

but be aware im not doc. and i cant say anything about your health status! if ure worried go to another doc. not the one telling u, what u obvisouly dont believe or like.

I get the alcohol and a lot of drugs but care to elaborate on how benzos and weed "can lead to nasty shit"?

Try stretching, iboprofen, and hot/cold. Heating pads are great for withdrawal symptoms but hot showers work too. Try just heat first and if that doesn't help, alternate cold using an ice pack. When it gets really bad, get up and take a walk.
