Post Acute Withdrawal and Benzos | What is it like to withdrawal from Benzos?

Hi there welcome to fostering resilience we’re  bringing you everything you ever wanted to know   about addiction recovery it is a rainy day here in  south florida and since my studio is not ready yet   i need to film outside and i’m wanting to bring  this to you today monday and not be delivering   late so hopefully you’re gonna

Be able to hear me  okay with the rain and the thunder that’s going to   be coming up in the background so i’m kj foster  and again welcome to fostering resilience and i   am somebody who is in long-term recovery from  an addiction to alcohol and i’m also an expert   in the area of addiction recovery and relapse  prevention

In today’s video i’m sharing with you   information about post acute withdrawals relative  to benzodiazepines so i’m going to share with you   symptoms of acute withdrawal and post acute   withdrawal relative to benzos and how you can  go about best moving through those post acute   withdrawal symptoms and be sure to stick

Around  for the end of the video because i will be sharing   month of june and the lucky recipient of the $50   gift card so don’t go away okay first up what are  benzos what are benzodiazepines benzodiazepines   are a medicine that are commonly prescribed for  anxiety and panic disorders and what a lot of   people

Do not realize however about benzos is  that they are highly addictive so the way that   they react in the brain is that the brain becomes  very quickly addicted to benzodiazepines and so   most often a a physician at least a physician who  is is prescribing the medication appropriately   will not typically prescribe more than

Two weeks  worth of benzodiazepines because they are so   highly addictive but i can tell you from my own  experience is that that’s generally not the case   i’ve met people who have been on benzodiazepines  for years and this creates you know a lot of   taking benzodiazepines so some common benzos   are medications

Such as valium xanax klonopin  and ativan and there are a few others but those   are pretty much the most common ones you will find  here is a list of the common symptoms relative to   the acute phase of benzo withdrawal so this is the  the first phase the immediate phase that you enter   into the moment that you stop taking

Benzos and  i’d like to add before i lift the symptoms that   any withdrawal from benzos should be medically  monitored because it’s very dangerous to withdraw   from benzos on your own because you could go into  a seizure i mean it all depends upon of course the   the quantity the length of time and all of those  factors

But i always recommend that no matter   what you’re withdrawing from that it always being  medically monitored at a detox facility so that is   is number one so what are what are these symptoms  the symptoms there are many many symptoms because   what will happen is that you you will go into you  know panic panic attacks then and

Experience a lot   benzos because what happens is in with benzos   especially chronic use of benzos is that you know  you take the benzo to relieve the anxiety and what   happens is that as soon as the eng xiety wears off  the anxiety is loaded – sort of like the back end   and so you have more anxiety on the back end that 

Needs to be relieved from the benzos so this is   how the addiction process happens and what happens  is after taking benzos for a long period of time   you wind up with a lot of anxiety it’s like this  brick wall of anxiety winds up hitting you all at   once and and it’s very uncomfortable and and it’s  it’s it’s why most people

Have a really really   hard time if they’ve been taking benzos for a  long period of time and need to be medically   assisted typically with their with their benzo  withdrawal not just the acute withdrawal but also   the post acute phase but let’s first share the the  symptoms of the acute phase so they are dizziness  

Blurry vision anxiety of course panic attacks mood  swings insomnia headaches muscle pain chest pain   nausea vomiting increased sweat output tremors  accelerated heartbeat impaired memory impaired   thought processes hearing problems and a sense  of detachment from the self or the surrounding   environment so those are common

Symptoms during  the acute phase of benzo withdrawal okay next up   what are some of the common symptoms of the post  acute withdrawal phase the post acute withdrawal   phase being the phase that occurs after the acute  withdrawal and the post acute withdrawal phase   can last for up to 18 months to two years and  generally

With most pause symptoms post acute   unfortunately with benzos benzos are again one of   the most difficult you know acute withdrawal and  one of the most difficult post-acute withdrawal   comes to the the length of time that it takes   to actually recover from especially prolonged  benzo use so let’s start with what are

Some of   the common symptoms of the post acute withdrawal  phase some of the common symptoms are insomnia   depression a ringing in the ears called tinnitus   muscle pain abnormal muscle weakness episodes of  uncontrolled muscle shaking painful muscle tremors   gastrointestinal distress disruptions of normal  mental

Function and altered nerve sensations   such as pain tingling burning or numbness that  appear in the upper or lower extremities and   some of these symptoms will fade away over time  but depending upon the chronicity you know and   the in the length of time that you’ve been using  benzos or maybe you know you’re watching this

For   a loved one that your loved one has been using  benzos some of those issues may never go away   like some of those issues like gastrointestinal  issues nerve pain some of those will will last and   and and not that they’ll they’ll be chronic and  that they’ll be you know constant but they they   probably will

Come and go if you’re somebody who  you know i’ve heard and met people who have been   using benzos for twenty years you know and when  you’ve been using benzos for that length of time   you will have some residual effects that will not  go away and again which makes it so hard to to be   able to come off of benzos typically most

People  when it comes to treatment of benzos and and how   to move through you know the post acute withdrawal  phase most people will have to be weaned you know   off of benzos slowly and not something that you’re  gonna stop all at once and also you know it will   probably take some medically assisted treatment  for those

Medically you know serious symptoms such   as depression and anxiety so taking some other  like non narcotic medication that’s gonna help   you to move through those phases and also when  it comes when it comes to just being able to cope   with post acute withdrawal symptoms i have a video  that i’m going to put a link up here
