Trying to get off Benzodiazepine-going crazy!!!
A couple months ago I found out I was pregnant, so I abruptly come off of Clonazepam. I took Unda 9, 24 & 226. After finishing all bottles, I felt a lot less panic, to the point where I almost felt like I didn't care about anything, but had I guess what you would call agraphobia-I don't like being anywhere that I can't immediately leave if I start to feel panic. I felt horrible muscle weakness and spasms and hypersensitive to everything, and I became weak at almost any exhertion. It was unbearable. I had a miscarriage, but symptoms got worse, and than I realized it was from the withdrawal from the clonazepam. So now I am on a slow tapering system to get off of them.Most of the physical symtoms are gone, but as soon as my dose is starting to ware off extreme anxiety comes back and sometimes after taking a dose, especially at night I feel detached,like I'm watching eveyone on a tv set!!! Also I need support for Gaba receptors, at least that's what I've read. Especially because I have to start tapering, and the amount I'm taking now doesn't seem like enough!!! YIKES!!!
Should I go back on the Unda 9, 24, and 226?
Has anyone used homeopathy to come off benzos? I did search but couldn't really find.
Sorry for spelling mistakes.
THanks so much for any suggestions.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Just an update in case anyone else is having this problem too. I contacted a homeopathic doctor, she said to do the unda 9, 14, and 228. And she wrote this:
I would also suggest that she take
'Rhodiola rosea' by Thorne to help regulate serotonin and dopamine levels
in the brain to help her regulate her anxiety and mood issues. I don't
want her to take anything that will directly affect GABA levels since the
prescriptive medication is working directly on this aspect. We can
however support the other neurotransmitters.
Dosage for Rhodiola rosea from Thorne:
1 capsule twice daily preferably on an empty stomach.
So maybe that can help someone. I don't get the brain zaps, but my muscles feel zapped-and I am told omega fats help with that.

Take a dose of belladonna 30C and notice the effects. If it works, take another dose when effects are weakening.
