I have been looking for a Christian support group, and happened to stumble across this one..I started having panic attacks last year due to a medical scare, and was put on xanax. I had never taken a benzo , so I didn't know that you couldn't just stop taking them. I was on 1 mg of xanax for 2 months. I cold turkeyed and made it for 3 months but the symptoms and panic were so bad that I reinstated on valium. I am working with a program to ween myself off the valium and am down to 7 mg right now. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do! I do not want to be on medication and believe that God is going to heal me and get me through this. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you
Yes, cold turkeying (I just made a verb too! hehe), is not a great idea. I have been there with Klonopin but not by choice. It was hard but the Lord got me through it somehow.
I am glad you are working a program. Please do keep in touch with your doctor as much as you need during this time because benzo withdrawals can be tough.
I will say a prayer for you!
