Damn! How long have you been on klonopin and such a high dose? Anyways, i hope that you get the help that you need!

[Spartan]

Been on for a year and a half 

6 mils approx 4 months 

I really need to get some help with supervised gradual taper. 

Thankyou 

 

[Spartan]

Just takes the edge off not permanent

 

Ask Soon as come off massively heightened symptoms 

[Spartan]

Supremely fucked up 

Will be back in hospital thisevening 

[Jay1]

I don't know where you are based, but fuck that health care system. It's just such common knowledge that you cannot go from 6mg to zero that you may even have a legal case against them.

Hope you are getting the correct help in the hospital. 

Keep fighting, Jay

[Spartan]

Thankyou brother 

It's has been fucking absolutel torture. 

Like insane 

They are touring me like fuck knows what.. 

Having hppd is torture enough itself then this... 

I just tried to suffocate myself. 

It's total madness dekerium and have been having mini seizures and chucking my guts up. Shaking / hot cold etc etc DP beyond description.

Something needs to happen quickly. 

 

Thankyou again

How you doing today, my friend? 

[Spartan]

Thank you friend

I'm still in hospital they are holding me over with diazepam 10 milligrams usually every 5 hours or so as well as endone for the pain. 

Today which is the third day I'm likely feeling the worst.

Main symptoms are hot and cold shaking, psychotic hallucinations, insomnia, delirium, noisia panic etc and extremely heightened hppd and Dp etc my legs really hurt and my head really hurts. Confusion etc 

Anyhow I'm blessed to be living in Australia as they're taking very good care of me at this Hospital.

The team of doctors are doing their best to decide the plan of action of what to do next hopefully I will be discharged today.

Though it's been extremely frustrating as cannot get in touch with Professor McConnell who can salts from this hospital as he is currently on leave. If we were able to contact him like we would have this sorted in an instant. 

Anyhow will keep on keeping on! 

Doctors have expressed to me this morning that I cannot just stop taking Klonapin  abruptly. 

Will work on doing a medically supervised gradual taper to a lower dose that doesn't mess so much. 

Thank you for your care and empathy understanding and means a lot to me to have you checking up on me etc 

Many thanks again will keep on keeping on staying strong and will get through this. 

I hope you are well and have a great start to your week!!! 

Thankyou

Man, sounds tough but i'm glad these guys are treating you well and seem to know what they are doing and building a plan of action. 

You are strong as steel, mate... better times are coming.

[Spartan]

Thanks man 

I was actually discharged after 4 days..

Doctors he was still in the dark and could not prescribe, they said they will refer me to a treating psychiatrist here @ the hospital tho that never happened.

Ended up going back to my GP for him to prescribe to get me through although he would not. I was quiet distressed / agitated / exhausted and therefore he called an ambulance.

Now I'm back up here again in hospital this is f****** insane.

The system is so broken what the f*** to do I cannot believe this.

Thanks mate will remain strong as steel absolutely will get through this better times definitely coming.

[Spartan]

Fucking arsewholes left me cold turkey

Waiting until 4 am 

Going home in taxi

If I die I die 

[Jay1]

That's fucked up ... I can't even wrap my head around the situation. It's just outright negligence. 

I hope you are able to get some rest and tackle this again tomorrow. 

 

[Spartan]

It's wrong what has happened to me.

I'm going completely out of my brain.

I am so fucking sick

 Feels like im dying

[Spartan]

Things are shure to keep improving.

Im safe now. thank you for your support everyone and 1000 pardons to possibly freak some of you out with my crisis.

Thanks again, peace and blessings to all.

Oh God sounds nightmarish. That’s my biggest fear. I’ve been on Klonopin for what, 14 years? Every day. I dread the day when someone decides to stop prescribing it to me. I couldn’t deal with all of that. You are so strong and I am heartbroken that you are going through this. I think you posted this back in June and it’s now October but I decided to comment anyway. I have told myself if that ever happens to me, I will no longer be of this world. But you are so strong and haven’t given up and that is awesome. Going cold turkey off of benzos can lead to death. So did your GP just stop giving it to you and threw you out into the wind? I don’t understand how doctors don’t seem to have a clue about tapering. I would sue the crap out of that doctor.
