I'm living Benzo free Part 4
Oh, I have been slumped over so many times, just about everywhere! I've been listening and enjoying Ziggy's music lately too. Sounds and colors are so much more clear and amazing these days! Lovin' the little hummingbirds' hum right now.
Slumped over the bar no more, I have decided to live, don't know why I didn't think of it earlier
We don't have Hummingbirds here (good parrots and stuff) but they have always been a source of wonder for me since the earliest days of my childhood, fairy tales, etc. Their wings must beat so fast and have just looked at some pictures.....beautiful. Keep on humming.
I suffer depression and anxiety graced which can draw a veil over my perception, but understand what you mean about colours and sounds being enhanced as have experienced this myself from time to time.
So unaccustomed am I that it can appear almost as hyper reality when in fact the way the world can and should be viewed. I'm hoping with my improved diet and now exercise regime I'll see those colours too. Alcohol particularly, dulls everything imo.
Enjoy Ziggy who has a special place in my heart. I'll sing and you hum.....

Here's one of our girls live at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It's entitled
"It's Only The Beginning." I know she is singing about a bloke, but in my mind see it as the beginnings of my sobriety.

Today is Vietnam Veterans' Day here in Australia and wish to do my little bit in commemorating all of those who lost their lives to this most abominable war.
It is also the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan where many Australians were killed and many more Vietnamese people. How many of these men suffer PTSD and if not killed in war, are drinking themselves to death? Hats off.

So I had a little vacation .. and detox cold turkey in the Norfolk City Jail
Not really my plan of choice to come off klonopin and Paxil .. and my blood pressure and heartburn medications ..
I made it through .. they almost killed killed me .. at one point my blood pressure dropped to 80 over 32 .. I should of had an IV for dehydration .. like a hospital might do things .. I was sweating and could not stand up .. they just gave me some gatoraide and jammed me back in the detox cell block .. also maybe some Librium which is what they gave to alcohol withdrawal folks ..
But ... Noooooooooooooooooooo .. they decided I was on opiates despite my telling them it was klonopin and paxil .. they just disregarded what I said ..
I did not eat for 5 days .. and then started to force myself to eat something .. then because they don't use proton pump inhibitors (prilosec) which I take a double dose of every day .. I had to deal with horrible heart burn .. despite my telling the Jail impersonation of a Dr. my condition ...
So now I am definitely off the klon and paxil .. still having symptoms .. weird body zaps .. excess saliva causing me to have to swallow to the point of not being able to sleep ..
Things are getting better now .. the worst is over .. and I am not going back ..
NO KLONOPIN .. NO PAXIL .. NO NO NO ..
So how you folks doing ?
