This Sucks.

It’s only been two weeks since I jumped off clonazepam. I’m hoping the full body muscle tension that causes muscle fatigue and weakness goes away soon. I’m getting concerned because I actually got out of breath just carrying a bag of groceries from the grocery store to the vehicle. I know that can’t be normal or good in any way. The insomnia is very near intolerable too. The heart palpitations are really terrifying. I really hope this is all worth it, because I find myself questioning my decision to get off the benzos more and more frequently. The health anxiety from all this is off the charts.


I really wish I had something positive to say about getting off benzos but in all honesty the only positive thing I can say about being off them is that I did it. The rest is all bad. At least while I was on benzos I had good quality of life. Now it’s just a struggle every single day and night. It never lets up, it’s relentless. Every day is just more pain.
