Respected Evocationer / David,
I am very fortunate I am part of this forum. I am blessed Evocationer have taken my case.
Hope :
When I see David specializes in mental health I really think I can have recoveRY.
Introduction:
I am coming to you with clonazepam dependence , and benzo withdrawal problems like; List of symptoms in the 17 years(((only some of them are present symptoms))) : Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasion trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles dizziness, general anxiety symptoms, occupit . hypogonic hallucinaton , uncontrolled thought that is not really happening and terror or fear associated with it...etc
A question regarding remedy buying:::
David ! in USA we can get LM potency of some remedies till LM9 from standard homeopathy; Helios uK LM potencies are available but it will take 3 to 4 weeks to get such medicine. As you said try to get liqud medcine if I can not get liquid what alcohol should be used for processing the pellets?

Let us assume that I have runny nose, water flows or drips out from nose.
I am lying down and closing my eyes. I Feel like a drop of water dripped out from my nose and this is real and it happened for real. I would open and think a drop of blood came out. I will be scared to open my eyes to see the drop. Then I opened my eyes and it was just drop of fluid not blood.

Firstly, it is important to understand that I look at the totality of the case INCLUDING the history. As you clearly have not been cured by the remedies given in the past, it has to be assumed that the original disease is still at work. Symptoms in the past, form part of a larger picture.
In terms of the fear of seeing blood, your words were 'I will be scared to open my eyes and see the drop (of blood)'. You also said ' I would imagine teeth coming out and blood on my face , etc., After this I am very scared' These are your words exactly. Please note the exact wording of the rubric :
Blood, cannot look at
This exactly matches your statement. The fact that the blood is only in your imagination actually makes it more peculiar and therefore more important for homoeopathic prescribing.
In regards to the choice of the rubric Everything seems strange, the entire evolution of your disease shows this symptom - past and present.
From your case the statements that support such a rubric are:
Depersonalization (meaning of which is feeling disconnected from one's physicality or body, feeling detached from one's own thoughts or emotions, feeling as if one is disconnected from reality, and a sense of feeling as if one is dreaming or in a dreamlike state)
Hypnagogic hallucinations (hypnagogia is that state between sleeping and waking where things have a dream-like quality, are not quite real)
Strange headache
Mind is playing tricks
Weird scary images
There is enough in your description to justify the use of the rubric, and in fact such a state reappears at various times throughout your story.
'Dazed' also means confused, bewildered, foggy, disoriented, light-headed, fuddled. All of these words could be used to describe your state at various times in your history.
'As if in a dream' describes the Hypnagogic state you said was a current problem.
'Spaced out, daydreaming' describes various episodes you have had over the years. One could also substitute 'Distracted' or 'Abstract state of mind' here.
'Thoughts vanishing' covers the idea of 'No brain power' - brain power is your ability to think (thoughts), and thoughts are used read, write, speak (work) - thus no brain power = vanishing of thoughts
Cloudiness of consciousness means lack of clarity, inability to think clearly (no brain power, memory not good). I could easily have chosen 'Forgetful', 'Weakness of memory', 'Difficulty concentrating' - all found in this remedy as well.
You reported various periods of being dizzy (vertigo) and anxious. This forms part of the larger disease picture which has not been cured. The Nux-moschata patient will report such things in their history.
Apart from that, you are currently complaining of vertigo, and you are still anxious - thus we have two symptoms which tend to be found together in this remedy.
So my choice of remedy still stands. I believe I have made it for the right reasons. We need to see how it affects you.

Respected Evocationer/ David,
I really thank you for your indepth explanation in the last message /post.
I ordered both nux-m LM1 and nux-m LM2 and expect to receive early next week
Question 1:
clonazepam is a highly restricted prescription medicine. I take y mgs of clonazepam everyday, HALF LIFE of clonazepam is 18 hours. y is constant for the last 5 years or more. I divide this y mgs during the day , let us say one third of y mg at 12 noon, one third of y mg at 6pm, one third of y mg at 11 pm. Idea is to keep stress level uniform or stress relief level uniform always . clonazepam is a very very strong medicaton , even 0.083 mg/ day cut / decrease failed several times in my case. I do not want to decrease or increase the dosage before any homepathy remedy works. The days I am not well I use tissue salt. That is why I use Kali plos 6x tissue salt for stress reduction ONLY WHEN REQUIRED, Calcerea florica 200x tissue salt for inflammation and general psychiatric problem reduction ONLY WHEN REQUIRED, Ferrum plos 6x tissue salt for skull or head inflammation reduction ONLY WHEN REQUIRED. Calcerea florica 200x is my very effective emergency medicine one Calcerea florica 200x effect stays for 2 to 3 days.
important>>>>>>>Please advise me when I start nux-m LM s and I know you won't allow these potentized tissue salt remedies(Calcerea florica 200x / kali phos 6x) how do I manage to keep my health condition functional.
Question 2:
.They said amount of remedy supplied will be 300 drops of LM1 and 300 drops of LM2 . They won't supply any dropper. Is plastic dropper okay or I strictly need glass droppers?
Do I need to use amber bottle or any bottle to mix remedy and water?
Question 3:
Can I use distilled water from local grocery store sold in plastic gallon bottles? If not what kind of water should I buy?
Question4:
Do I start with nux-m LM1? or LM2. first I am assuming LM1 but still want to ask you.
Question 5:
Evocationer wrote:
Please take one dose each day, and stop when any of your symptoms appears to aggravate. Give me a report after 7 days regardless of what happens.
bapi is asking :
a) can I take remedy in the morning empty tummy and no food or water in the next 3 hours after remedy administration
b) I avoid using toothpaste with mint ..should I use toothpaste to brush and then take medicine , or I have to simply wash my mouth n teeth very well and taKe medicine.
Question 6:
I have camphor 30c at home. Should I know in advance how to antidote in case of serious aggravation. I know I should not try to antidote without your permission. You want to observe closely the effect of nux-m
Question 7:

My husband has started the medication today. But I have something very imp to report. He has on his forehead, if you draw a line from the nose, in the middle of the forehead , on both sides of he line, few 1/2 cms from the line on both sides there is growth and it is getting bigger and bigger. I am really worried. I need to call the doctors and force him to go to doc. Please help. He is hypocondriac. He has also ocd. He always imagines there is a bigg disease in him. He is very negative all the time. He says that if he thinks negative good things will happen.
yogiram 9 years ago
I agree. He needs a doctor to examine him immediately. I cannot diagnose pathology over a forum like this.
Just to answer your other questions:
1. Do not change your dosage of orthodox medicine. We can look at that possibility once we know the medicine is the right one and is helping you.
Your health will be enhanced by the correct constitutional medicine. You should not need things like tissue salts if the medicine is correct, and their use will undermine or even antidote anything I try to do. Do not use any of them while taking the Nux-moschata, and I would prefer you do not taken any homoeopathic medicine without first consulting with me.
2. Plastic droppers are fine. You can use any small bottle as long as it has a lid so that when you hit the bottle the liquid does not fly out. If the remedy came as a liquid dose, you can just take the drops directly from that bottle. Hit it, and extract 3 drops to put in the cup of water.
3. Distilled water, purified water, mineral water is all fine. You can even use tap water if necessary although I prefer not to do that due to all the chemicals. However, tap water will still make an effective remedy.
4. Start with LM1
5a. There are no restrictions on when you take your remedy. You can eat or drink immediately before or after the dose.
5b. You can use toothpaste and there are no reasons not to use mint. Don't brush your teeth immediately before or after taking the medicine but you can do so any other time (perhaps give 15 minute either side).
6. Do not use Camphor for any reason. It is a member of the same family as Nux-moschata and there can be an interaction between the two. If Antidoting is necessary it must be done by choosing a medicine to suit the symptoms that arise no just automatically going to Camphor.
Camphor as a homoeopathic remedy does not antidote all other remedies. This is a myth. Camphor as a raw substance apparently does that, although I have never seen this happen so I don't believe it.
7. Only stop if any of your symptoms appear to aggravate. I want you to report at 7 days but not to stop the remedy unless I ask you to or the aggravation begins.

Hello David,
With God's grace and enormous luck I found this forum. You specialize in mental health and you are a great person. This little thing I have on forhead was checked everytime during annual physical check up with my PCP(primary care physician).It is normal. No disease in that location.
This id yogiram was created by my wife and she had the password. I knew the password.
I am surprised today she is posting something about my forehead without telling me. Please ignore her posting about forehead. I worked on diseases involving abnormal cell growth biology for many years. I am a American Heart Association Fellow. And this little thing on forehead is there for more than 5 years. It did not increase. It is absolutely okay to have that there. If something is not okay I decide with my primary care physician (allopath) and report you. This little thing I have on forhead was checked everytime during annual physical check up with my PCP(primary care physician). I am extremely angry with her at this moment. I changed the password. And also changed the email address. I strongly believe I will get well or improve with your treatment.I need to raise my 12 year old, my wife's meaningless worry should not hurt me.Thank you for your answer. Please ignore her previous posting. Please do not punish me because of my wife's posting. Please continue to help me out. I have taken Nux-m LM 1 today, today was my first day. I will report you after 7 days. Thank you. Apologize for this trouble. Please Please Please continue my treatment. With regards.
Bapi.
With God's grace and enormous luck I found this forum. You specialize in mental health and you are a great person. This little thing I have on forhead was checked everytime during annual physical check up with my PCP(primary care physician).It is normal. No disease in that location.
This id yogiram was created by my wife and she had the password. I knew the password.
I am surprised today she is posting something about my forehead without telling me. Please ignore her posting about forehead. I worked on diseases involving abnormal cell growth biology for many years. I am a American Heart Association Fellow. And this little thing on forehead is there for more than 5 years. It did not increase. It is absolutely okay to have that there. If something is not okay I decide with my primary care physician (allopath) and report you. This little thing I have on forhead was checked everytime during annual physical check up with my PCP(primary care physician). I am extremely angry with her at this moment. I changed the password. And also changed the email address. I strongly believe I will get well or improve with your treatment.I need to raise my 12 year old, my wife's meaningless worry should not hurt me.Thank you for your answer. Please ignore her previous posting. Please do not punish me because of my wife's posting. Please continue to help me out. I have taken Nux-m LM 1 today, today was my first day. I will report you after 7 days. Thank you. Apologize for this trouble. Please Please Please continue my treatment. With regards.

Respected David,
This text contains my 7 days report, also including how I prepared myself mentally to take remedy, how I administered remedy, and review of my symptoms new and old.
Preparation to take Remedy:
I was seriously ill when I first contacted David in this forum he prescribed Nux-m LM 1. I was wondering how do I take this remedy when I use so much tissue salt to suppress my symptoms. I knew higher the stress is worse are my symptoms. I started meditating basically 24 hours a day and lay down on the bed. No work no nothing just kept myself in a meditated condition. I took a break from this kind of brain rest when I had to pick up my son from school everyday. I knew the rules I cannot take potency homeopathy medicine (classical homeopathy or tissue salt) except Num -m LM 1. Also I wanted to keep the allopathy medicine 'clonazepam' same dosage as I was taking. I started taking Nux-m LM 1 from Monday, Sept 22, 2014.
How did I administer the remedy:
Every homeopath recommends how remedy should be taken. I like to follow what my homeopath recommended me to follow. I would like to tell how the remedy was prepared and administered. Reason is if I am doing a mistake and the remedy is not working David can catch me and guide me.
I tapped the bottle that contains Nux-m LM 1 five times, took 3 drops by a glass dropper from the bottle mixed in 100 ml distilled water kept in a glass container. I took 3 spoons of that mix and orally administered. Then I dumped the mix in the sink.
I used the same glass container and the same spoon for next day. But I would wash the container and spoon 3 times with 50 ml of distilled water each time everyday.
Before making remedy everyday in the morning I washed both the container and spoon 3 times again. So in between Monday remedy preparation and Tuesday remedy preparation there are six (6) washes 50 ml distilled water each time.
I never touch mouth or anything to the spoon. I keep my glass container and spoon untouched from any objects. Please let me know if I am doing any mistake.
REPORT AFTER 7 DAYS :::::
A) No aggravation from Nux - m LM1
B) Whether 7 days administration helped or not ?
Okay let me describe that what serious problems I was having recently (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and the effect of Nux-m LM1
(i) Hypnagogic hallucination (let us abbreviate hypnagogic hallucination as HH) was troubling me just when I am in the transition phase of awakened state TO sleeping state. Let me give an example . I am trying to sleep at that time I hear my wife is talking to my son, I wake up ...walk to my son's room and my wife's room both of them are sleeping. None were talking they were all sleeping. I get scared and realize ..oh my god..HH again started. One bad thing about my HH is when I try to sleep again I will have HH again; this time I might hear something else. Mostly during HH I have hearing hallucination sometimes very horrific scary images wakes me up. One day I tried to sleep 7 times I ended up waking up each time, that was a horrible night. This happened probably 8 months ago.
In this 7 day remedy taking period ' THERE WAS NO Hypnagogic hallucination' AT ALL. Should I be happy for that ? I never had Hypnagogic hallucination regularly. So I do not want to conclude. But I was suffering from HH 4 days out of 7 days approximately before taking Nux-m LM1. Hypnagogic hallucination is in the list of symptoms that benzo takers might encounter, so it is not strange. I should know more symptoms in the list probably will hurt me as long as I take clonazepam, and few years after clonazepam is stopped.
(ii) Another recent symptom was uncontrollable ungovernable thoughts. let us abbreviate ' uncontrollable ungovernable thoughts' as UUT. To refresh my case UUT examples are::
** uncontrolled imagination of staircase railing hitting my face or mouth or teeth; I was punched by a naughty hyper kid for real on my mouth hurting my front teeth; this real life incident might be related to my 'uncontrolled imagination'
--
** uncontrolled imagination of falling down on concrete / cement surface after I gave practice of lawn tennis to my son. I got such symptoms after 20 or 30 minutes I come out from lawn tennis court. The lawn tennis court is a cement surface not a grass surface. Sometimes when I look at concrete / cemented surface I feel uncomfortable. Thank God in my house I have wall to wall carpet.
--
** I fell down from my bicycle in the summer of 2014, it was a very very soft fall, I cut my knee area, it took some time to heal, I am unable to relate this incident's effect on some of these 'uncontrollable thoughts' but I am avoiding watching action movies because I feel my mind is now weak and I should not watch fights like boxing or violent scenes.
--
** last Sept (Sept 2013) I had a car collision , my car was totally destroyed I luckily had mild pain in the right hand wrist, I have UUT of accidents and bones coming out and crashing my whole body;
--
** I told you about when a drop of fluid comes out from nose I would imagine probably a drop of blood came out; this relates to REAL nose bleeding problem I had 3 times in the last few years, last time it was was probably 2 years ago; it is mostly from low humidity during winter and unintentional nose picking.
I really do not know if UUT is depersonalization.
Depersonalization is in the list of ' benzo withdrawal symptoms'; Please note that all benzo takers are in a state of withdrawal because for our system when it comes to clonazepam it is never enough to satisfy the system. Our body needs more benzo but my dosage is constant in the last 5 years or more. I had MILD UUT in this last 7 days on Tuesday and Friday, before taking medication it was everyday several times. I really cannot conclude if there is significant improvement from Nux-m LM1
(iii) I observed I have burning and inflammation kind of symptoms inside my head or skull. This is unbearable. I always have this when the effect of clonazepam fades away. I take 3 times clonazepam everyday , equal amounts; this is considered as moderate amount of dosage in United States. But if I forget to take clonazepam or if I think I have taken clonazepam but actually I forgot to take clonazepam faintfeeling symptom kicks in...means starts.. head becomes heavy etc. and various other symptoms follow. I described these symptoms as it appeared over the years in the history of symptoms when I first presented the case to David.
NO effect of Nux - m LM1 on the symptoms described in (iii)
(iv) There is one symptom that is bothering me after I started(this might not be related to Nux-m) taking Nux-m LM1 and that is ....let me give an example...I am in my room upstairs I plan to do something in the kitchen and went went downstairs; after going to the kitchen I forget why I came to the kitchen. I stand in the kitchen and start thinking why I came to the kitchen, I remember what to do and I started doing that...then I forget what I am supposed to do. This symptom happened two times not sure if it is permanent symptom or it showed up because I am taking Nux -m LM1. But one thing I can assure you I forget and remember this thing is going on for years. Please note that I learnt from literature all clonazepam takers has very bad memory. But forgetting everything within a minute is kinda scary, but it comes back ...meaning I will remember just that it takes some time.
The best help I have gotten from symptoms is SLEEP. twice a day sleep keeps me alive, sleeping once a day would result in bad news.
-----
I am very happy you are considering the big picture of my symptoms. I am very happy you are you understand any patient can come up with these symptoms when they are taking clonazepam. And all most all symptoms are included in the dictionary of ' benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms'. I am very happy you read when I wrote how GABA receptors subunits are downregulated by clonazepam. Because of very very slow upregulation of GABA receptor subunits tapering of clonazepam or benzo is tough.
I understand the power of classical homeopathy. I heard about deeper-acting remedies bringing back original metabolic pathway before the drug induced symptoms started.
REVIEW OF MY SYMPTOM HISTORY (this time telling my story from a different perspective)
When I first wrote my history of health problem I wrote about (i) symptoms (ii) when and which year my symptoms showed up (iii) what medications (homeopathy) I have taken (iv) the tests done (blood test, MRI, MRA etc)
I know homeopaths love to hear what I have already reported in the history . However homeopaths want to know my personality, how I think, how I see this world, what peculiar or strange events happened in my life. I do realize a patient has to be very intelligent presenting his case towards someone who never saw me or heard my voice. I have to present my true personality via what I write. I have to explain scenarios in deep details.
Let me tell me my story.
I was born in a very loving middle class family. My mother was only 17 and half when I was born. My parents were so delighted to see me, there were wise old people around us when l was born . they told our family this boy will be very highly educated and his fate to get a life partner will not be good. I was a very disciplined and happy kid. Always number 1 in elementary school, pretty good till high school and was brilliant from under graduate to PhD level. I loved to play outdoor games, I had and still have a tall attractive body. I played cricket, soccer, table tennis. I loved to fly kites play marbles etc.
I was very organized in my life from education to other activities. Skill in organization protected me in many ways. I like to read in deep details. Once someone told me about computer hacking I studied network security in details I could figure out stuffs that network professionals can not figure out. When Human genome sequence was discovered in late 1990s everybody in our profession told biocomputation can be the profession of future. I took some masters level classes and started doing research with a reputed group of scientist. This was extra on top of my real profession. I did so much of study but yet to fix my 'benzo withdrawal symptoms' . I am 50. Another 20 years max I guess in this beautiful world, I have to raise my kid who is not even a teen. I have a feeling I will get enough help from this forum and you and will acquire enough stress taking capacity to go back to work.
might be important 1>>>>> I always avoid confrontation, I could not fight against people.
might be important 2>>>>> I loved athletics, I should tell you I was good in long jump but I had serious faint feeling episodes when I tried 400 meters or 800 meters I have to lay down on the field for almost an hour to recover.
might be important 3>>> In case of fast swimming also I had such faint feeling problem.
might be important 4 >>>>> If someone comes behind my back I get startled most of the time.
might be important 5 >>>> sex or masturbation aggravates symptoms of benzo withdrawal and recovers within 3 days.
might be important 6>>>>> during the first 5 years of this 17 year problem frequency of panic anxiety was very high; now panic anxiety almost stopped.
might be important 7>>>>>> my activity in life is very less and my stress taking capacity is so low that most of the time I am resting on the bed; I use a small fan on my head. I like fan on my head and like to keep my head cold.
might be important 8 >>> I like to take tub bath, tub bath relaxes my mind and reduces my anxiety.
might be important 9>>>> when i have worries it revolves around comes back to me over and over again ...meaning comes to me over and over again..and with time only my worries goes away
might be important 10>>>> I have rashes and swells in arms and sometimes in the lips occasiomally. Let us say once in 4 to 6 months in between 12 midnight and 3 am and it goes away with pulsatila 30c in water when taken every ten minutes 6 to 10 times.
might be important 11>>>> I do not like aggresive, loud voice , rough voice. I do not like nasty people with low class attitude. Although I am good at dealing evil cunning people in calm planned diplomatic way.
might be important 12 >>>> I personally believe my best talent is to write poem . People close to me and who are highly qualified in literature and who know me for years were surprised when they looked at my poems.
might be important 13>> my sex drive slowed down after 48, which is probably natural
might be important 14 >> raynaud phenomena is phenomena happens to some people in the cold climate. It is a seasonal disease when blood supply will be low in the finger tips, finger will turn purple and red coz lack of blood flow. Finger tips will itch, tingle and will become numb. Usually people with with chronic anxiety can have raynaud. Last year when I moved to Chicago, I had Raynaud in the winter.
might be Important 15 >> When I used vertigo in my history that meant the ceiling of a room circles or rotates like a fan rotates. I had such vertigo 3 times around 2004 / 2005 . According to me vertigo is a subclass of dizziness . What I describe as dizziness is faint feeling. If my knowledge is correct all vertigos are dizziness but only dizziness with movement is vertigo.
Most important 16 >>> My symptoms of faint feeling etc started 17 years ago because there was serious injustice against me. I got myself admitted in the Newyork university medical center, one of the top neurology center, the head of neurology gave me clonazepam and followed up in his office and continued clonazepam untill I become dependent on the medicine. He never warned FDA approved this drug for temporary use. He never said a period for more than 4 weeks of clonazepam intake is a disaster. Even in 2007 my wife and me called him from North Carolina he said I am in a low dosage in my case clonazepam can be withdrawn. I am a person who always took the right path in life and lost 17 years of beautiful life till date in this clonazepam dependence.
might be Important 17 >>>> half of my life when I was young in India I suffered from infections eg paratyphoid, chicken pox, b coli infection, hepatitis, dust & cold allergy ; I never had infection since I came to USA.
might be Important 18 >>>> coffee triggers anxiety attack in my case ...in fact sometimes panic attacks
might be Important 19 >>>> No alcohol or no tobacco or no illegal drugs in my life ...no addiction never ever in life.
might be Important 20 >>>> I cannot talk to people for a long time with intensity, I have split second faint feeling problem. This is kind of alarm that warns me I cannot talk any longer.
from Sept 10, 2014 posting you can get my health history from 2002 to 2014 in case you want to look at my previous posting in the same text I am copy pasting one more time for you...

copy of Sept 10, 2014 posting...

2014 AFTER JULY NEW SYMPTOMS
these sysptoms are hard to explain, let me try to give examples and explain:
anxiety and fear and clonazepam withdrawal:::::
Let us assume that I have runny nose, water flows or drips out from nose.
I am lying down and closing my eyes. I Feel like a drop of water dripped out from my nose and this is real and it happened for real. I would open and think a drop of blood came out. I will be scared to open my eyes to see the drop. Then I opened my eyes and it was just drop of fluid not blood.
Then my fear factor goes up and my confidence level goes down. I am in fear.
Since I have had anxiety, I do not play or run.
My son was playing tennis and I was teaching him. Sometimes, the ball comes closer to my side. I have to take few steps to reach the ball. But after few minuets, I would imagine what if I ran and fell face down and my teeth were crushed. I would imagine teeth coming out and blood on my face , etc., After this I am very scared. I am imagining these things.
Also one day, I was home and I was alone then I heard someone is talking. I came down, my wife had really come and was talking. But I was doubtful.
Also when I am climbing down the stairs, I feel I am getting hurt by the railing.
Current condition is exactly what you would expect from a long time clonazepam administering patient as described in Ashton's Manual
2013
Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasion trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles.
Serious current symptoms: 1.noise sensitivity 2. depersonalization 3. hypnagogic hallucination, and elevated generalized anxiety 4. jittery.
2012
In 2012 arsenic album was the only successful medicine. It was determined if I take clonazepam I can never get well, Prof Heather Ashton and her work clearly told me I have to get off from clonazepam. I need help from other therapies so that I can handle the extremely pain and suffering of benzo withdrawal. I need help from classical homeopathy while I am tapering clonazepam, I need help of classical homeopathy even after I withdraw clonazepam because post withdrawal period is even painful. Not all patients can withdraw from clonazepam. It all depends on genetics, family support, alternative therapy assistance etc. For example I tried tapering 0.083 mg everytime, I ended up having irritable bowl syndrome after second taper. Symptoms: Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasion trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles.
2010 :
I was little better, but I was not in a condition to do international travel. I was desperate to get well and traveled back to India and went for outdoor treatment to Christian Medical College, Vellore. This one of best facility in Asia, they are extremely good in Neurology. I consulted by some great Neuro Medicine doctors and they concluded that this is from anxiety and from withdrawal symptoms of clonazepam.They gave me methycobal(B12) injection because my Vit B12 level was low. Methycobal works for neuropathy too. Since then I check Serum B12 level, I do not take B12 supplements even then my B12 level is fine
Christian Medical College, Vellore is far away from Calcutta, My home where my parents live is in Calcutta. Calcutta is a place where there were great homeopaths 50 / 60 years ago. But these days hardly we see good homeopaths in Calcutta. I consulted few homeopaths and decided to get treatment from a homeopath. He understood my neurological status is extremely weak from long term clonazepam intake and decided to give both mother tincture type of medicine as a tonic and homeopathy potency remedy for total healing and tissue salt to decrease pain and suffering, He was trying Staphysagra 0/1 0/2 etc , also gave bacopa Q, later |*
7
*passiflora Q etc, also gave calceria flurica 200X , that really helped me in skull burning sensation problem. My wife and son was in USA she had chest pain problem, I had to come back to USA. He also tried Lachesis 200 c one dosage on me. Symptoms: Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasional trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles. Occasional Involuntary movement of hands.
COMPLETED NETWORKING COURSE SUCCESSFULLY
LACEHSIS HELPED PROBABLY OCCUPIT (PRESSURE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD)
CALCARIA FLURICA 200X (TISSUE SALT) HELPED SKULL BURNING and help TOTALLY TO ELIMINATE HYPOGONIC HALLUCINATION.
STAPHYSIAGRA HELPED IN THE DIZZINESS
LYCOPODOIM HELPED ME FROM BEDRIDDEN CONDITION TO MOVING STATE.
The symptoms come back, because I am still taking clonazepam.
2010 2011
I was desperately trying to get better, because to survive I need to work. My wife was not keeping good health still trying to go to work. I was prescribed arsenic album 200 c. This remedy really works for me now. Arsenic album 200c one dosage effect stays for a month or so. Arsenic album 1M or 30c does not work. I was taking clonazepam. Symptoms: Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasional trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles. Occasional Involuntary movement of hands.
2007 2009:
Next improvement came when staphysagra 200c worked and really helped to even drive around. Effect of staphysagra stayed for 15 to 18 days. Staphysagra lower or higher potency did not work. Extra stress always gave me anxiety problem. I was taking clonazepam everyday. Symptoms: Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasion trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles.
2005 2007:
I was totally bedridden. I could not even figure out the 3 dimensions of our apartment; I had few times vertigo problem too. I had anxiety attacks and anxiety problem. I was taking clonazepam all through. At that time doctors did MRA of brain to determine how is the blood supply in the brain, test results were fine. MRI of brain showed white spots which was ignored by the doctors. I thought my life is ending, but ultimately one remedy worked and that is lycopodium 200c. I had to take once a month and it brought me out of bedridden condition, I was able to get up from bed and move around in the apt.
2005
We moved to North Carolina, that time I went through lot of stress because of moving. I was taking gelsemium 200c , this medicine really affected me. I was bedridden. I could not lift my head. I am NOT totally convinced if Gelsemium 200 aggravation did this to me or not. I think the doctor did not know how much gels I should take. I never want to take gelsemium no matter what.
Symptoms: heavy head, feelling of swelling in the back of the head and inflammation of the head, anxiety symptoms
2004
At that time doctors suspected I might be having neck problem along with stress problem. I did MRI of cervical spine. Degeneration of C1 to C6 was reported, MRI was repeated in a different facility to confirm the degeneration. Cimicifuga 30 c for one year surprisingly cured the degeneration, yesss it was seen in MRI C1 to C6 degeneration recovered.
Symptoms: dizziness, general anxiety symptoms, occupit
2002 to 2003
I took clonazepam everyday as prescribed by doctor. When I encountered extra physical or mental stress I suffered. I used to go for psychiatric consultation, such consultations never helped. At that time I had head trembling problem (not visible trembling), trembling inside the head and twitching, that problem went away with 6 months of Plumbum Metallicum30c administration. A homeopath from Alabama gave this remedy. During faint feeling spells or during panic anxiety I had to take extra clonazepam and Kali Phos 6x tissue salt in hot water.
Symptoms: Anxiety attacks including panic under condition of stress
1996 to 2002
17 yrs ago when I was working in the lab I had a problem of faint feeling and heavy head problem, this problem did not go away within three days and ended up in NewYork University Medical Center Emergency. CT scan of brain was done. Diagnosis was acute Anxiety. Doctor gave me Clonazepam, an anti anxiety medication. I went for second opinion to another neurologist she did MRI of brain, in the MRI white spots were found. She told me it is signal that is possibly meaningless. White spots or flairs usually correspond to Multiple sclerosis or small vessel ischemia. Symptoms during this period : Anxiety and anxiety attacks only under condition of stress when I am taking clonazepam
4. What I am expecting from this consultation and follow up consultations
Boosting up my neuropsychiatric condition; healing neuropsychiatric health and help for withdrawal of Clonazepam.
This text contains my 7 days report, also including how I prepared myself mentally to take remedy, how I administered remedy, and review of my symptoms new and old.

REPORT AFTER 7 DAYS :::::
A) No aggravation from Nux - m LM1
B) Whether 7 days administration helped or not ?
Okay let me describe that what serious problems I was having recently (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and the effect of Nux-m LM1
(i) Hypnagogic hallucination (let us abbreviate hypnagogic hallucination as HH) was troubling me just when I am in the transition phase of awakened state TO sleeping state. Let me give an example .

NO effect of Nux - m LM1 on the symptoms described in (iii)

I am very happy you are considering the big picture of my symptoms. I am very happy you are you understand any patient can come up with these symptoms when they are taking clonazepam. And all most all symptoms are included in the dictionary of ' benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms'. I am very happy you read when I wrote how GABA receptors subunits are downregulated by clonazepam. Because of very very slow upregulation of GABA receptor subunits tapering of clonazepam or benzo is tough.
I understand the power of classical homeopathy. I heard about deeper-acting remedies bringing back original metabolic pathway before the drug induced symptoms started.
REVIEW OF MY SYMPTOM HISTORY (this time telling my story from a different perspective)
When I first wrote my history of health problem I wrote about (i) symptoms (ii) when and which year my symptoms showed up (iii) what medications (homeopathy) I have taken (iv) the tests done (blood test, MRI, MRA etc)
I know homeopaths love to hear what I have already reported in the history . However homeopaths want to know my personality, how I think, how I see this world, what peculiar or strange events happened in my life. I do realize a patient has to be very intelligent presenting his case towards someone who never saw me or heard my voice. I have to present my true personality via what I write. I have to explain scenarios in deep details.
Let me tell me my story.
I was born in a very loving middle class family. My mother was only 17 and half when I was born. My parents were so delighted to see me, there were wise old people around us when l was born . they told our family this boy will be very highly educated and his fate to get a life partner will not be good. I was a very disciplined and happy kid. Always number 1 in elementary school, pretty good till high school and was brilliant from under graduate to PhD level. I loved to play outdoor games, I had and still have a tall attractive body. I played cricket, soccer, table tennis. I loved to fly kites play marbles etc.
I was very organized in my life from education to other activities. Skill in organization protected me in many ways. I like to read in deep details. Once someone told me about computer hacking I studied network security in details I could figure out stuffs that network professionals can not figure out. When Human genome sequence was discovered in late 1990s everybody in our profession told biocomputation can be the profession of future. I took some masters level classes and started doing research with a reputed group of scientist. This was extra on top of my real profession. I did so much of study but yet to fix my 'benzo withdrawal symptoms' . I am 50. Another 20 years max I guess in this beautiful world, I have to raise my kid who is not even a teen. I have a feeling I will get enough help from this forum and you and will acquire enough stress taking capacity to go back to work.
might be important 1>>>>> I always avoid confrontation, I could not fight against people.
might be important 2>>>>> I loved athletics, I should tell you I was good in long jump but I had serious faint feeling episodes when I tried 400 meters or 800 meters I have to lay down on the field for almost an hour to recover.
might be important 3>>> In case of fast swimming also I had such faint feeling problem.
might be important 4 >>>>> If someone comes behind my back I get startled most of the time.
might be important 5 >>>> sex or masturbation aggravates symptoms of benzo withdrawal and recovers within 3 days.
might be important 6>>>>> during the first 5 years of this 17 year problem frequency of panic anxiety was very high; now panic anxiety almost stopped.
might be important 7>>>>>> my activity in life is very less and my stress taking capacity is so low that most of the time I am resting on the bed; I use a small fan on my head. I like fan on my head and like to keep my head cold.
might be important 8 >>> I like to take tub bath, tub bath relaxes my mind and reduces my anxiety.
might be important 9>>>> when i have worries it revolves around comes back to me over and over again ...meaning comes to me over and over again..and with time only my worries goes away
might be important 10>>>> I have rashes and swells in arms and sometimes in the lips occasiomally. Let us say once in 4 to 6 months in between 12 midnight and 3 am and it goes away with pulsatila 30c in water when taken every ten minutes 6 to 10 times.
might be important 11>>>> I do not like aggresive, loud voice , rough voice. I do not like nasty people with low class attitude. Although I am good at dealing evil cunning people in calm planned diplomatic way.
might be important 12 >>>> I personally believe my best talent is to write poem . People close to me and who are highly qualified in literature and who know me for years were surprised when they looked at my poems.
might be important 13>> my sex drive slowed down after 48, which is probably natural
might be important 14 >> raynaud phenomena is phenomena happens to some people in the cold climate. It is a seasonal disease when blood supply will be low in the finger tips, finger will turn purple and red coz lack of blood flow. Finger tips will itch, tingle and will become numb. Usually people with with chronic anxiety can have raynaud. Last year when I moved to Chicago, I had Raynaud in the winter.
might be Important 15 >> When I used vertigo in my history that meant the ceiling of a room circles or rotates like a fan rotates. I had such vertigo 3 times around 2004 / 2005 . According to me vertigo is a subclass of dizziness . What I describe as dizziness is faint feeling. If my knowledge is correct all vertigos are dizziness but only dizziness with movement is vertigo.
Most important 16 >>> My symptoms of faint feeling etc started 17 years ago because there was serious injustice against me. I got myself admitted in the Newyork university medical center, one of the top neurology center, the head of neurology gave me clonazepam and followed up in his office and continued clonazepam untill I become dependent on the medicine. He never warned FDA approved this drug for temporary use. He never said a period for more than 4 weeks of clonazepam intake is a disaster. Even in 2007 my wife and me called him from North Carolina he said I am in a low dosage in my case clonazepam can be withdrawn. I am a person who always took the right path in life and lost 17 years of beautiful life till date in this clonazepam dependence.
might be Important 17 >>>> half of my life when I was young in India I suffered from infections eg paratyphoid, chicken pox, b coli infection, hepatitis, dust & cold allergy ; I never had infection since I came to USA.
might be Important 18 >>>> coffee triggers anxiety attack in my case ...in fact sometimes panic attacks
might be Important 19 >>>> No alcohol or no tobacco or no illegal drugs in my life ...no addiction never ever in life.
might be Important 20 >>>> I cannot talk to people for a long time with intensity, I have split second faint feeling problem. This is kind of alarm that warns me I cannot talk any longer.
from Sept 10, 2014 posting you can get my health history from 2002 to 2014 in case you want to look at my previous posting in the same text I am copy pasting one more time for you...
-------------------------
copy of Sept 10, 2014 posting...
------
2014 AFTER JULY NEW SYMPTOMS
these sysptoms are hard to explain, let me try to give examples and explain:
anxiety and fear and clonazepam withdrawal:::::
Let us assume that I have runny nose, water flows or drips out from nose.
I am lying down and closing my eyes. I Feel like a drop of water dripped out from my nose and this is real and it happened for real. I would open and think a drop of blood came out. I will be scared to open my eyes to see the drop. Then I opened my eyes and it was just drop of fluid not blood.
Then my fear factor goes up and my confidence level goes down. I am in fear.
Since I have had anxiety, I do not play or run.
My son was playing tennis and I was teaching him. Sometimes, the ball comes closer to my side. I have to take few steps to reach the ball. But after few minuets, I would imagine what if I ran and fell face down and my teeth were crushed. I would imagine teeth coming out and blood on my face , etc., After this I am very scared. I am imagining these things.
Also one day, I was home and I was alone then I heard someone is talking. I came down, my wife had really come and was talking. But I was doubtful.
Also when I am climbing down the stairs, I feel I am getting hurt by the railing.
Current condition is exactly what you would expect from a long time clonazepam administering patient as described in Ashton's Manual
2013
Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasion trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles.
Serious current symptoms: 1.noise sensitivity 2. depersonalization 3. hypnagogic hallucination, and elevated generalized anxiety 4. jittery.
2012
In 2012 arsenic album was the only successful medicine. It was determined if I take clonazepam I can never get well, Prof Heather Ashton and her work clearly told me I have to get off from clonazepam. I need help from other therapies so that I can handle the extremely pain and suffering of benzo withdrawal. I need help from classical homeopathy while I am tapering clonazepam, I need help of classical homeopathy even after I withdraw clonazepam because post withdrawal period is even painful. Not all patients can withdraw from clonazepam. It all depends on genetics, family support, alternative therapy assistance etc. For example I tried tapering 0.083 mg everytime, I ended up having irritable bowl syndrome after second taper. Symptoms: Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasion trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles.
2010 :
I was little better, but I was not in a condition to do international travel. I was desperate to get well and traveled back to India and went for outdoor treatment to Christian Medical College, Vellore. This one of best facility in Asia, they are extremely good in Neurology. I consulted by some great Neuro Medicine doctors and they concluded that this is from anxiety and from withdrawal symptoms of clonazepam.They gave me methycobal(B12) injection because my Vit B12 level was low. Methycobal works for neuropathy too. Since then I check Serum B12 level, I do not take B12 supplements even then my B12 level is fine
Christian Medical College, Vellore is far away from Calcutta, My home where my parents live is in Calcutta. Calcutta is a place where there were great homeopaths 50 / 60 years ago. But these days hardly we see good homeopaths in Calcutta. I consulted few homeopaths and decided to get treatment from a homeopath. He understood my neurological status is extremely weak from long term clonazepam intake and decided to give both mother tincture type of medicine as a tonic and homeopathy potency remedy for total healing and tissue salt to decrease pain and suffering, He was trying Staphysagra 0/1 0/2 etc , also gave bacopa Q, later |*
7
*passiflora Q etc, also gave calceria flurica 200X , that really helped me in skull burning sensation problem. My wife and son was in USA she had chest pain problem, I had to come back to USA. He also tried Lachesis 200 c one dosage on me. Symptoms: Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasional trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles. Occasional Involuntary movement of hands.
COMPLETED NETWORKING COURSE SUCCESSFULLY
LACEHSIS HELPED PROBABLY OCCUPIT (PRESSURE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD)
CALCARIA FLURICA 200X (TISSUE SALT) HELPED SKULL BURNING and help TOTALLY TO ELIMINATE HYPOGONIC HALLUCINATION.
STAPHYSIAGRA HELPED IN THE DIZZINESS
LYCOPODOIM HELPED ME FROM BEDRIDDEN CONDITION TO MOVING STATE.
The symptoms come back, because I am still taking clonazepam.
2010 2011
I was desperately trying to get better, because to survive I need to work. My wife was not keeping good health still trying to go to work. I was prescribed arsenic album 200 c. This remedy really works for me now. Arsenic album 200c one dosage effect stays for a month or so. Arsenic album 1M or 30c does not work. I was taking clonazepam. Symptoms: Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasional trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles. Occasional Involuntary movement of hands.
2007 2009:
Next improvement came when staphysagra 200c worked and really helped to even drive around. Effect of staphysagra stayed for 15 to 18 days. Staphysagra lower or higher potency did not work. Extra stress always gave me anxiety problem. I was taking clonazepam everyday. Symptoms: Absolutely no brain power, not able to work or take stress, under condition of stress faint feeling, headache, occasion trembling or mild convulsion, occupit or pressure feeling on the back of the head which feels like inflammation and swelling of the back of the head, skull burning sensation, occasional twitching of muscles.
2005 2007:
I was totally bedridden. I could not even figure out the 3 dimensions of our apartment; I had few times vertigo problem too. I had anxiety attacks and anxiety problem. I was taking clonazepam all through. At that time doctors did MRA of brain to determine how is the blood supply in the brain, test results were fine. MRI of brain showed white spots which was ignored by the doctors. I thought my life is ending, but ultimately one remedy worked and that is lycopodium 200c. I had to take once a month and it brought me out of bedridden condition, I was able to get up from bed and move around in the apt.
2005
We moved to North Carolina, that time I went through lot of stress because of moving. I was taking gelsemium 200c , this medicine really affected me. I was bedridden. I could not lift my head. I am NOT totally convinced if Gelsemium 200 aggravation did this to me or not. I think the doctor did not know how much gels I should take. I never want to take gelsemium no matter what.
Symptoms: heavy head, feelling of swelling in the back of the head and inflammation of the head, anxiety symptoms
2004
At that time doctors suspected I might be having neck problem along with stress problem. I did MRI of cervical spine. Degeneration of C1 to C6 was reported, MRI was repeated in a different facility to confirm the degeneration. Cimicifuga 30 c for one year surprisingly cured the degeneration, yesss it was seen in MRI C1 to C6 degeneration recovered.
Symptoms: dizziness, general anxiety symptoms, occupit
2002 to 2003
I took clonazepam everyday as prescribed by doctor. When I encountered extra physical or mental stress I suffered. I used to go for psychiatric consultation, such consultations never helped. At that time I had head trembling problem (not visible trembling), trembling inside the head and twitching, that problem went away with 6 months of Plumbum Metallicum30c administration. A homeopath from Alabama gave this remedy. During faint feeling spells or during panic anxiety I had to take extra clonazepam and Kali Phos 6x tissue salt in hot water.
Symptoms: Anxiety attacks including panic under condition of stress
1996 to 2002
17 yrs ago when I was working in the lab I had a problem of faint feeling and heavy head problem, this problem did not go away within three days and ended up in NewYork University Medical Center Emergency. CT scan of brain was done. Diagnosis was acute Anxiety. Doctor gave me Clonazepam, an anti anxiety medication. I went for second opinion to another neurologist she did MRI of brain, in the MRI white spots were found. She told me it is signal that is possibly meaningless. White spots or flairs usually correspond to Multiple sclerosis or small vessel ischemia. Symptoms during this period : Anxiety and anxiety attacks only under condition of stress when I am taking clonazepam
4. What I am expecting from this consultation and follow up consultations
Boosting up my neuropsychiatric condition; healing neuropsychiatric health and help for withdrawal of Clonazepam.

Respected David, Today Sunday was a better day. For details of 7 day report please read my previous post. My last posting was done Sunday at dawn, now it is 8:30pm

To be able to assess the reaction to the remedy, it is important not to mix together various kinds of reports. You have included things like history, other prescriptions, how you prepared the remedy etc. While I appreciate your attention to detail, I cannot use this to properly assess remedy reaction.
Instead, I will list all the symptoms you gave. Next to each one please write Better, Worse, or Same. If better or worse please also write a percentage % to represent how much.
Once this is done, please give a general overview of how you feel, your level of 'well-being'. You can give this a percentage as well if you like, compared to how you felt before the remedy.
I would try to make different posts or different clearly defined sections within a post, when you are informing me of different aspects of your case or treatment so that I can clearly see what is current ie. one for historical events, one for current events, one for questions, and so on.
It is important to keep the focus on your current symptoms only, and on current reactions. This prevent confusion and allows me to assess the information quickly, which I am often doing between clients in my own clinic.
Because your original case was a mix of current and old symptoms, if I have listed anything which was not current please state that next to the symptom.
Anxiety/fear about being injured
Seeing images of accidents in mind
Sensitivity to noise
Depersonalization
Hypnagogic hallucination
Elevated general anxiety/'jittery'
No brain power
Reduced ability to take stress
Faint feeling
Headaches
Trembling
Pressure in head
Twitching of muscles
Lack of control of mind
Inflammation or constriction of blood vessels
Frightening images during headache
If there are symptoms you have that I have missed in that list, please add them.

That lost post is much more suitable for my purposes. If we can keep them like that it will be much easier for me to assess.
There is some improvement, and no aggravation as yet. I would continue with the medicine for another week. Generally speaking, the LM potencies will aggravate at the end of their usefulness, and at this point we stop and allow the healing crisis to do what it needs to do for you.

Respected David,
Currently I am suffering from MILD 'uncontrolled thoughts of accidents and weird images' and stress headache with skull inflammation feeling.
I feel you are liking the simple weekly reporting. Okay I will report after 7 days when I will conclude taking 14 doses of Nux m LM1.
All 25 symptoms I reported are part of 'benzo withdrawal syndrome' started from clonazepam intake. You can easily view and learn about benzo withdrawal syndrome in wikipedia. I have some personal habits or nature. I am listing 20 personal nature I have, this might help in remedy selection.
1>>>>> I always avoid confrontation, I could not fight against people.
2>>>>> I loved athletics, I should tell you I was good in long jump but I had serious faint feeling episodes when I tried 400 meters or 800 meters I have to lay down on the field for almost an hour to recover.
3>>> In case of fast swimming also I had such faint feeling problem.
4 >>>>> If someone comes behind my back I get startled most of the time.
5 >>>> sex or masturbation aggravates symptoms of benzo withdrawal and recovers within 3 days.
6>>>>> during the first 5 years of this 17 year problem frequency of panic anxiety was very high; now panic anxiety almost stopped.
7>>>>>> my activity in life is very less and my stress taking capacity is so low that most of the time I am resting on the bed; I use a small fan on my head. I like fan on my head and like to keep my head cold.
8 >>> I like to take tub bath, tub bath relaxes my mind and reduces my anxiety.
might be important 9>>>> when i have worries it revolves around comes back to me over and over again ...meaning comes to me over and over again..and with time only my worries goes away
10>>>> I have rashes and swells in arms and sometimes in the lips occasiomally. Let us say once in 4 to 6 months in between 12 midnight and 3 am and it goes away with pulsatila 30c in water when taken every ten minutes 6 to 10 times.
11>>>> I do not like aggresive, loud voice , rough voice. I do not like nasty people with low class attitude. Although I am good at dealing evil cunning people in calm planned diplomatic way.
12 >>>> I personally believe my best talent is to write poem . People close to me and who are highly qualified in literature and who know me for years were surprised when they looked at my poems.
13>> my sex drive slowed down after 48, which is probably natural
14 >> raynaud phenomena is phenomena happens to some people in the cold climate. It is a seasonal disease when blood supply will be low in the finger tips, finger will turn purple and red coz lack of blood flow. Finger tips will itch, tingle and will become numb. Usually people with with chronic anxiety can have raynaud. Last year when I moved to Chicago, I had Raynaud in the winter.
15 >> When I used vertigo in my history that meant the ceiling of a room circles or rotates like a fan rotates. I had such vertigo 3 times around 2004 / 2005 . According to me vertigo is a subclass of dizziness . What I describe as dizziness is faint feeling. If my knowledge is correct all vertigos are dizziness but only dizziness with movement is vertigo.
Most important 16 >>> My symptoms of faint feeling etc started 17 years ago because there was serious injustice against me. I got myself admitted in the Newyork university medical center, one of the top neurology center, the head of neurology gave me clonazepam and followed up in his office and continued clonazepam untill I become dependent on the medicine. He never warned FDA approved this drug for temporary use. He never said a period for more than 4 weeks of clonazepam intake is a disaster. Even in 2007 my wife and me called him from North Carolina he said I am in a low dosage in my case clonazepam can be withdrawn. I am a person who always took the right path in life and lost 17 years of beautiful life till date in this clonazepam dependence.
17 >>>> half of my life when I was young in India I suffered from infections eg paratyphoid, chicken pox, b coli infection, hepatitis, dust & cold allergy ; I never had infection since I came to USA.
18 >>>> coffee triggers anxiety attack in my case ...in fact sometimes panic attacks
19 >>>> No alcohol or no tobacco or no illegal drugs in my life ...no addiction never ever in life.
20 >>>> I cannot talk to people for a long time with intensity, I have split second faint feeling problem. This is kind of alarm that warns me I cannot talk any longer.

1.Patient : Bapi (patient id yogiram)
2.Remedy administered : Nux-m LM1 once a day for 14 days
3. Disease : benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome.
4. Current Symptoms (4a to 4 g)
: a) uncontrolled thoughts of physical crash/accidents
** uncontrolled imagination of staircase railing hitting my face or mouth or teeth; I was punched by a naughty hyper kid for real on my mouth hurting my front teeth; this real life incident might be related to my 'uncontrolled imagination'
--
** uncontrolled imagination of falling down on concrete / cement surface after I gave practice of lawn tennis to my son. I got such symptoms after 20 or 30 minutes I come out from lawn tennis court. The lawn tennis court is a cement surface not a grass surface. Sometimes when I look at concrete / cemented surface I feel uncomfortable. Thank God in my house I have wall to wall carpet.

** I fell down from my bicycle in the summer of 2014, it was a very very soft fall, I cut my knee area, it took some time to heal, I am unable to relate this incident's effect on some of these 'uncontrollable thoughts' but I am avoiding watching action movies because I feel my mind is now weak and I should not watch fights like boxing or violent scenes.

b) hypnagogic hallucination
Hypnagogic hallucination (let us abbreviate hypnagogic hallucination as HH) was troubling me just when I am in the transition phase of awakened state TO sleeping state. Let me give an example . I am trying to sleep at that time I hear my wife is talking to my son, I wake up ...walk to my son's room and my wife's room both of them are sleeping. None were talking they were all sleeping. I get scared and realize ..oh my god..HH again started. One bad thing about my HH is when I try to sleep again I will have HH again; this time I might hear something else. Mostly during HH I have hearing hallucination sometimes very horrific scary images wakes me up. One day I tried to sleep 7 times I ended up waking up each time, that was a horrible night. This happened probably 8 months ago.

::::::::: 7% suffering; when 0% means no sufferings (14 days ago before Nux-m LM1 suffering was more)
-----
b) hypnagogic hallucination : no HH came in 14 days; but hypnagogic hallucination is not regular problem. 1% suffering; where 0% means no sufferings(14 days ago before Nux-m LM1 suffering was more).
-------
c) stress headache : have everyday 15% suffering; where 0% means no sufferings.
(14 days ago before Nux-m LM1 suffering was same)

8.(8A TO 8C)
. Discussion of 14 days report :
(A) uncontrolled thoughts of physical crash/accidents AND
hypnagogic hallucination are serious symptoms little less after Nux-m LM1 after 14 days.
(B) But
uncontrolled thoughts of physical crash/accidents is still there AND
hypnagogic hallucination comes back after weeks months.
Stress headache & heavy head &
skull burning sensation or sensation of inflammation is actually daily measure of stress.
(C) There is no improvement after 14 days treatment of
hypnagogic hallucination comes back after weeks months.
Stress headache & heavy head &
skull burning sensation or sensation of inflammation this is discouraging.
