Well its been a while since ive written anything on here. When i first started on this website it was like a godsend. It made me feel so comforted to know i wasnt alone. I still feel this way. All the notes from others either happy or said made me feel like i can get threw this and that i wasnt crazy i was just sick and it wasnt my fault i wasnt a weirdo, it was just a disabilty i had to deal with. Ive become ok with that. Thank you all. Now an update on me. I am on 17.5 lexapro and was on .5 klons a day when i went to a really bad anxiety place. I was on both these doses for a bout a year. Now ive been weaning still on lexapro but i had actually made it down to no klons for four days! I am so proud, i took a crumb of .25 yesterday, but im ok with that. Just baby steps. Just to know im getting there and i have crawled out of the anxiety and depression. Im writing to let everyone reading this know its possible. I was in the worst of dyer straights, i didnt want to die but i did because of how crippled i felt. People it gets better. I am its such a happier place. I love to rise in the morning, see my daughter smiling at me! FOr the longest no matter what i did i couldnt stop crying couldnt eat, couldnt leave the house. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I just wanted you all to know. I will keep u posted on my weaning. I myself will prob need more help along the way as i continue my journey. But the point is im here and i enjoy life! and every now and then the struggle comes back and i will need this site and other people and meds, but thats ok because you have know it will get better, that reminder keeps you going. I will think of you all and hope that when you are in that dark place you can imagine the light and pull yourself up.

Welcome back; thanks for coming to share the inspiration :) It's good to see your post and know that you've been happy and doing well. You're doing great weaning especially off of the difficult benzos. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to reading your updates . . . hugs

Thank you! i will def keep everyone on here updated. I dont see a lot of posts about weaning especially on benzos, so i will do my best to explain my experience. So far so good its been six days and only crumbed once in between those six, which prob was only for my head lol it was the size of a pen tip pretty much!

I've done the crumbing too .25 mg or less (if that's believable). Don't know if it worked if only on my psyche. Weaning went well that way until I was totally off. Now I keep a filled prescription just for emergencies. It's close to expiring and I'll flush it and not renew. I think I'm mentally ready for that. Take care of yourself . . . hugs.

Thats what im weanign on is.25! Lol and i think its just a mental thing too! haha but it works! and i think the extra pills dont hurt for just in case, they are a great security blanket! You take care of yourself as well! Again feels so good to not feel alone in this stuff!
