It seems as though some forums on benzo withdrawal are a pit of despair and neverending, looping tales of non-recovery and permanent brain damage.
I experienced a massive, code red trauma involving murder of a loved one two years ago and was put on clonazepam. Throughout this time, I have abused alcohol, zopiclone and clonazepam.
This is Day 1 of realizing I can never binge drink again if I want to successfully come off clonazepam. From what I have read, clonazepam is the worst drug on earth. Great. I cannot find a success story other than Stevie Nicks taking massive amounts for a decade and getting back to her old self after two years.
I'm ready to start tapering. I want my life back-- joy and pain, the full gamut of emotions. My natural reward system back.
Does anyone have any insight/experience.... positive, and ok, negative too? I need some hopeful energy here.
