Case Details:
I have been taking these pills for 8 years and i have been trying to quit fro 3 years and im so addicted i cannot quit. i suffer from withdrawals everyday and i experience severe dizziness, memory loss, hallucinations, full body pain, sickness and many other things. these pills ruined my life and i havent been able to leave my house much in years. i cant even go grocery shopping because of the bright lights in the stores. i am 24 years old and things have gotten so bad i now have to use a cane to keep balance and i feel like im going to faint all the time. something needs to be done about this. i have never had any of these problems before i took these pills. i started taking these pills for simple panic attacks and now it feels i have full blown psychosis at times do to the pills. i have seen many doctors and tried many things and nothing helps. i cannot stop taking these pills and i fear i will end up in a rehab to get off them and i cannot afford that.

Case Details:
I took Xanax for a short period of time and now I am dealing with Artial Fibrilation and High Blood Pressure. These symptoms did not manifest until I had been taking this medication and now they will not go away. I was hospitalized recently for the rapid heart beat and now I am taking blood pressure medicine and blood thinners. I am convinced the Xanax has done this to me and also that my mother had the same experience with taking Xanax in the 80's which led to her having to get a pacemaker, open heart surgery and a stroke which eventually led to her death. I stopped taking this medication as soon as I realized it was causing my symptoms, thinking they would go away if I stopped. I am seeing that this is not happening and may never. This has been going on for 4 weeks now.

Case Details:
Major gastrointestinal issues, kidney, and chronic pain. (Am a non-drinker, non-smoker, was a runner). Was told klonopin was a safe drug to take for sleep and MILD ANXIETY due to stress. Had no idea what a benzodiazipine was until I could not get an answer from 3 doctors why I was having so many symptoms they denied were from the drug. Quit it when I found out what it was. Was not informed not to quit that way. Have been physically sick for 9 mos. Bedridden for 3 mos. No help from the medical community. My whole Central Nervous System has been damaged from this and it is taking a very long time to heal. So many sied effects. Has affected my whole life.

Case Details:
Just went through second pre/post multi-level spinal fusion voluntary detox (first in Dec. '07) from Pain Management Morphine, muscle relaxants, and SEVEN YEARS OF HIGH DOSAGE prescribed use of ATIVAN (aka Lorazepam) for work-related anxiety. In my researching these Benzodiazepines, any long term high dosage is highly discouraged by the pharma companies, and highly taboo in the medical world. The not at all recommended 6 day taper I had has destroyed my concentration, caused short term memory loss, vertigo, 3 hrs. sleep per night for past month, with no relief in sight, as my 11 year GP refused to reintroduce a tapering plan as he did in '07, when I initially tried to free myself from this horrible medication the first time, so I've been abandoned, as no ER's will help unless one is admitted to a psych unit with a "Bi-Polar" diagnosis, which will be justified with sedative Seroquel, just another drug I don't need. Just a horrible drug to separate from. Was NEVER told about these ramifications. Has caused more agitation, and chaos in my head & household, than I ever could have imagined.
These suits apparently settle frequently, with an accompanying non-disclosure agreement, so the public never hears word one about this terrible problem, long ago public & dealt with in Australia & England long ago!
Need help badly!

Case Details:
Took Ativan for a few years given to me by a doctor that said I could take it forver. After about 2 years O started to have neurological ticks, deprsonalization, heart palpatations, no emaotion, no sex drive, worsening depression, intrusive thoughts so I slowly tapered myself sef off over six months. This is where my hell begins. I cannot work becuase I cant handle it, I am worse off than I was before taking the medication, I have had countless sleepness nights waking up in a cold sweat,heart racing, I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure in which I never had before, I gone down 3 1/2/ dress sizes without even trying, my mind fades in and out of reality and the scary thing about it is I know when it's happening I just cant control it, I have major cog fog and cannot process new information in a timely manner. I have major panic attacks that effect my breathing. On Thanksgiving night I had to be rushed to the ER ( with no insurance) because I thought I was dying. 6,000 later in medical bills here I am.

Case Details:
After quitting these pills after only being on them for 1 month, I have dealt with 7 months of torture. My heart rate goes up over 160bp when I stand up and have 2 heart valve prolapses( a listed withdrawal symptom) and am confined to my bed. I'm 26, and had just graduated from college, and had worked for a newspaper. I get pains and headaches, shaking and twitching also. I went to the hospital many times after quitting the pills because of episodes with my heart. I never had any problems like this before these drugs.
