Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Health, Fitness & Dieting

Have you experienced withdrawal symptoms after stopping or reducing your dosage of Xanax, Valium, Ativan or Klonopin? Has your doctor reduced your benzodiazepine prescription so much that you are sick? Do you want to avoid going to a detox center to quit benzodiazepines? Have you tried quitting benzodiazepines cold turkey - only to have to go back on them? Do you want to get off your benzodiazepines, but don’t know how? Do you desire to lead a normal life during the withdrawal process? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this book will help you rid yourself of benzodiazepine physical dependence in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way. Benzodiazepines are the class of drugs that include Xanax, Valium, Ativan and Klonopin. Prescriptions for benzos are written so frequently that approximately 5% of the U.S. population are taking them. Overdose of these drugs accounts for 30% of prescription drug deaths, second only to opioids, which are involved in 70% of overdose deaths. Benzodiazepines are commonly prescribed on a long-term basis, despite the fact that they are more addictive than heroin. Withdrawal symptoms from benzos are worse than those from heroin, and continue for a much longer time, yet detox centers and physicians are withdrawing their patients in a short period of time, resulting in painful and life-threatening symptoms. Patients often go on to experience debilitating physical and mental abnormalities that last for months or years, unable to function in life and work. No doubt you are reading this book because you or a loved one have discovered that you are physically dependent on benzodiazepines. If you need help in stopping the drug, you are in the right place. This book not only addresses how to detox from the drug, but helps you to naturally support your body so that you will be able to live a normal life while detoxing. Titration charts, along with information on diet, food supplements, herbal remedies and lifestyle are included. If you are a long term addict like I was, most likely you will not be able to get off your benzo easily. You may find that the Ashton method isn’t working for you or maybe you don’t even know what the Ashton method is. You may be facing many questions with no answers. Perhaps you don’t know how to liquid titrate and your attempts have led to your symptoms see-sawing back and forth from good to bad. Following an accurate detox schedule will give you peace of mind in knowing that you are accurately reducing your dosage in a downward progression by small increments, which will enable you to safely come off of the drug with minimal to no side effects. In this book is a comprehensive overview of the different methods of detox, along with step-by-step instructions on how to implement each strategy. Included are mathematical dosing charts and tips that explain exactly how to decrease the medication by small increments. This information will enable you to easily follow the detox charts without having to do complicated mathematical calculations during a time when your ability to think is impaired. The author recommends and includes the Ashton Method, but believes that at the lower doses the Ashton Method reductions are too rapid. It is during the end stages that many actually experience worsening symptoms and end up stuck on the drugs due to disabling withdrawals. This book shows you how to transition from the Ashton Method to a slower method, enabling those who cannot withdraw as quickly towards the end stages to complete their detox successfully.
