Has anyone that had severe insomnia from bind ever gotten their sleep back. If so, how long did it take.

How long did it take u to recover? How long were ur waves and windows?

Anyone know what was in those pills they used to have in head shops. It was supposed to be like mdma. Back around 2014, I took these pills that had monkey face as logo and called plant feeder. He said it was like mdma. I did feel really good, similar to mdma. It lasted 4 hours. My pupils were dilated. I was really stimulated. I went back to get more and he said they ran out and can't get them anymore. I always wondered what they were, anyone know.

Does anyone know if there is anything u can do to speed up recovery from Bind benzodiazepine induced neurological dysfunction? The brain heals through neuroplasticity. What would help that process along? I was prescribed 8mg klonopin for about 19 years. I was taken off it cold turkey and now have been suffering bind for 21 months. I never had insomnia before this. I get zero sleep most days. I have aura migraines and paresthesia now. Would spravato help speed up recovery? I heard walking can help neuroplasticity. Is there anything else? I'm 39 male, is my brain still young enough, or am I to old, so that the recovery will take longer. I'm in a bad wave. This is night 3 of no sleep. It's crazy. It hasn't improved at all in 21 months.

Now, on month 21, I just started getting akathisia on top of severe insomnia paresthesia and aura migraines. I thought this was supposed to get better over time. This last month and a half has had no relief. It's every day now. Zero sleep most days, followed by just a few hours of sleep. But now I can't even rest, get comfortable. I got to keep moving. This is hell. Has this happened to anyone one else? I really hope I get a window very soon.

This is crazy. Month 20 off klonopin, and it's been getting worse. June has been every day. 2 days no sleep, then I sleep for 3 or 4 hours followed by another 2 days, no sleep. Before that, I would get 3 day breaks from this, sometimes 1 or 2 week breaks. And it was no sleep every other day, not this 2 day crap. I thought it would be getting better with time not worse. I see people saying they suffered 6 yrs etc. How long has it taken you to heal or to get at least manageable. I was getting through this by telling myself it will last 2 years, maybe 3. But I'm starting to feel like this will last 4, 5 ,6 years. That's just too long, especially if I'm literally getting worse..

I was on klonopin for 19 years. The first couple of years, i was on 4mg a day, then 8mgs. I came off cold turkey 20 months ago. The initial withdrawal was severe, I went into psychosis for a month. Then I was fine for 5 months. Then I didn't sleep at all for 3 weeks straight, followed by getting some sleep only every other day. The other days I get zero sleep. I started getting windows in October that would last about a week, sometimes almost 2 weeks. But since June 1st it's been bad with zero sleep every other day and maybe a few hours the other days. I get these strange sensations in my forehead under my skin and aura migraines. How much longer can this last? If it's still this bad 20 months in. And around 6 months off when paws first started I did take a half of klonopin I found to try and see if it would help me sleep, because I didn't even know the insomnia was from paws until I started researching it a few days after that. Could that one pill I took 6 months after stopping have made this process be longer?

Does anyone get aura migraines after stopping benzos? I never had one until after stopping klonopin. Now I get them a few times a month. It's a strobe of light in one eye that lasts like a half hour. I don't get an actual headache, just a strobe of light and blurred vision. I made an apt with a neurologist just to make sure it's nothing more serious. I've been 19 months off klonopin and still have paws. Really bad insomnia, zero sleep every other day. But my windows are starting to become more frequent, which is good.
