[nateTHEgreat]

  Does anyone else here take multiple benzos? I am on a low dose of Klonopin 0.75mg twice daily, and ativan at lunch and supper(2MG total) My doctor's a f******G QUACK!!!!!!!!!!!

i was taking xanax, it was my DOC but im off it now 21 days... are you trying to taper and come off them? what are you taking them for?

[deceasedwithin]

i am on Klonopin right now but it is not presrcribed by a dr.  i take about 4 a day

  I am taking the benzos for an anxiety disorder(obsessive compulsive disorder) but ever since i started taking the benzos which was over 4 1/2 years ago I have gotten mentally sicker, do you know if benzos can make you feel like you are going crazy? I also feel very physically sick....  And I don't know what to do.... My psych told me to come off of my ativan 2mg over the course of twenty days, and I have been on and off of them for 1 1/2 yrs.... And I have also been on Klonopin for about 4 1/2 yrs.....  I pray that their is hope for me but I really am not sure if I can make it outta this mess.... Why would a doctor do this to me.... I was blessed with a good voice ,and I wanted to pursue that as a career... Oh well because my anxiety my pdoc put me on this poison.... I am also a decent looking guy... Who has not had a social life whatsoever because of this poison I have ingested into my body everyday ....  
                                   VICTIM BY PRESCRIPTION
                                        UNFORTUNATELY



       If you don't mind me saying you are very beautiful... Not trying to hit on you just stating the obvious!!!!!!!!  And I also doubt that you have lost your marbles... Take Care and GodSpeed....

Did your dr tell you to taper off all of your meds or just the ativan? I know it's awful taking these benzos over a long period of time... i know how difficult it was for me and often I felt alot worse... have you seen another docor or are you still with the same one that prescribed you the meds at the beginning?

[nateTHEgreat]

  I am with the same one unfortunately, why didn't I clue from the start i am such an idiot..  I often ask god why this happened to me....  Can I add you to my friends list?    Take care sweetie good night ty for being there, it means alot.... god bless

[lostmarbles]

[nateTHEgreat]

  will do sweetie.... You are so caring and genuine and sweet.... wow i am really glad i found this site... what wonderful caring hearts they maintain... Just a question where do you reside? I am from Canada myself....  did you ever feel like you couldn't hold a train of thought when you were on that poison? i feel lethargic,dizzy,weak,constant muscle pain,paranoia..... I hope I'm not going schizo....

[lostmarbles]

thanks Nate.. please don't worry.. I'm from England.. yes when I was on it I genuinely thought I was going off my head... i couldn't concentrate or anything, such a horrible feeling...you are not going schizo, please don't worry but please see another doctor xoxoxo

   You know before I got sick on these pills I always wanted to go to London; the culture is Brilliant LOL just kidding love that word....  To see the Big Ben, have a pint of Kilkenny and just look and be in awe of the beauty that city withholds...  Double stacker buses... I would also like to go to Ireland and Beirut.... As I am half of each(Irish,Lebanese) I hope that I am not going Schiz.... You can see where my Ocd's coming into play lolololol..  constant reassurance....  I am just scared sweetie cause I am going to have to come off two benzos, instead of one Oh god in heaven I wish it was just one....  I will definitely go see another doc.... I am going to go see what my current shrink  here on March 4th... And If he doesn't comply adios amigo....  I wonder If I could sue his  malpractice @$$... I have known you for about four hours, and I can already tell that you have a sweet genuine heart.. Thank you and May God Bless You and Keep You...()  I should change my name to lostminetoo LOL take care

You have just made me laugh so much.... listen babe, you still have your sense of humour... you should change your name to lostmymarbles2 !! that's hilarious.. maybe you won't have to come off two benzos. Maybe you need to take a milder one.. that's what I had to do.. but then I never had OCD and everyone is different... of course they are addictive but some people have medical conditions that require the long term use of benzos... i think your doctor should maybe try you out on a much milder one? what do you think?

I love Beirut... I love the lebanese people and the food and the way they talk.. it's so different to the other arabic dialects.. when I went to beirut I went skiing and sunbathing on the beach in one day.. it was fab !!! loved it

[nateTHEgreat]

   Good that's awesome... Laughter is good... Yes I have that still thank god... And I guess you have to, when it comes to trials and tribulations like these..... OCD is hard intrusive thoughts, compulsions but I mean I truly believe sweetie, that God gave me this so maybe I could be more creative you know, cause with ocd there is a perfectionism trait to it, you obsess to be perfect at whatever it is your doing... They say alot of doctors actually have OCD...  God Forbid after what has happened to me I would never want to be a doc.... Well maybe Naturopathy that would interesting....   that might be possible I just really want to get off this ativan... Makes me feel like a zombie combined with my clonazepam, the ativan actually intensifies the sedative effects of the clonazepam. So yeah maybe a low dose of the clonazepam (Klonopin) will see I would like try natural alternatives first like CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) alone with breathing exercises, maybe some Omega3....  You went to Beirut!!!!!  that's awesome yeah the food is really good yeah they do have cool accents... It's Vice Versa for me even though I like the way us Lebanese talk, I really and I am not saying this to earn brownie points i love the british accent i really do it is so elegant and distinguished... I also like Irish accents.... I have heard it is yeah, do you speak Arabic? I don't....  skiing and sunbathing that's crazy cool.....

[nateTHEgreat]

Well sweetie I am off to bed I am gonna go see a doctor tomorrow I promise you...  Maybe I was meant to go through this so I could meet people like you are so caring, and down to earth, so gentle hearted and compassionate that is hard to find nowadays in people.. Keep it up your awesome.... Will you be on tomorrow???
