I wanted to update everyone what was happening to me. I was going through something known now as protracted withdrawals, but I had no idea what was happening to me back then. I felt very alone and was extremely scared. It took around a year for me to completely heal, but I made it through. Let me tell you, it's horrific, but DONT GIVE UP! Around August of 2014 I felt better than I had in a long time.

The brain and central nervous system are amazing parts of our bodies.
But when they get damaged, you feel like you're dying and done for.
But don't lose hope.
It takes time to heal. The hell you feel is not the way you will stay.

Also, I made the mistake of thinking that anxiety medications were somehow safer and wouldn't ever cause that. So I recently stopped taking mine cold turkey after 5 months. I am back on it but please don't ever think like me and do that.

God bless, time heals, teaches and my trust in Him is what will pull me through.
