[0:02]I'm having physical withdrawal symptoms
[0:04]again I can't believe it I asked chat
[0:07]GPT about it and it's apparently normal
[0:10]it's been over a week and they just
[0:13]decided to come back because there's
[0:15]probably an imbalance in my brain of you
[0:18]know my
[0:19]neurotransmitters I am just frustrated
[0:23]like I did not
[0:27]know that this this would happen you
[0:29]know
[0:31]and I I'm just sitting here thinking
[0:32]like I didn't tell you guys what it was
[0:35]like those first three days were
[0:38]terrible I didn't sleep at all and you
[0:41]just lay in your bed and you go through
[0:43]all these physical symptoms and you just
[0:45]sit there
[0:46]and just want to sleep you know I tried
[0:50]everything I would put on like you know
[0:53]music from YouTube That's meant for
[0:55]sleeping and like you're on all these
[0:58]you know over the- counter medic ations
[1:00]to manage symptoms
[1:03]and um you're taking sedatives to try to
[1:06]sleep nothing's
[1:08]working and you know by the second night
[1:12]you're
[1:13]like you're just desperate for
[1:16]sleep and you still don't get it and
[1:19]then the third night you're just you're
[1:20]just absolutely frustrated because
[1:23]you're still not sleeping and you just
[1:25]just need it you just need to sleep
[1:30]that's what I went through it was
[1:31]horrible I hated it I was so glad when
[1:34]that was over and now it's back I'm just
[1:37]like
[1:39]what I mean obviously you know it isn't
[1:43]like you know 3 days of not sleeping
[1:45]it's just you know I should have been in
[1:47]bed a couple of hours ago
[1:50]but I didn't know they would come back I
[1:53]didn't know that was possible I
[1:56]feel I feel so uninformed
[2:00]and so I was thinking about my doctor
[2:02]and how he told me that this was just a
[2:07]very mild
[2:10]opian and very easy to get off of I mean
[2:14]those are his
[2:14][Music]
[2:16]words
[2:19]I I made a
[2:21]video
[2:23]about um something about being careful
[2:25]about what you tell your doctor if you
[2:27]move into an RV because what happened to
[2:29]me
[2:30]you know it turn he tells me now that it
[2:33]was just a misunderstanding with his
[2:35]staff I don't I don't believe
[2:37]that you know I don't believe that but
[2:40]you know let him you know he's trying to
[2:43]make nice with me for whatever reason
[2:45]and um there's no point in me telling
[2:48]him I don't believe him because I mean
[2:50]what good will that do but I don't I
[2:52]don't believe him
[2:56]and I'm really surprised that this man
[3:00]that I've known for
[3:02]decades he's not incompetent so he knew
[3:06]what he was saying to me wasn't
[3:08]true and I don't know what to make of
[3:11]that and the point I'm trying to get to
[3:13]here though is you know there are a lot
[3:15]of comments on that video that one was
[3:18]one of like my most watched videos just
[3:21]I never would have thought that it just
[3:23]was and um there were a lot of comments
[3:26]from people that I didn't agree with
[3:29]like cuz they would you know it got into
[3:31]conspiracy theorist territory like you
[3:34]know it's
[3:37]like I just don't go down those rabbit
[3:39]holes you know I don't and I didn't
[3:42]respond to them I just kind of left them
[3:45]be but I mean now I'm like in the state
[3:50]I'm in I'm sitting here thinking are
[3:51]they right like are they
[3:55]because I don't know how to make sense
[3:57]of that I truly don't
[4:02]so I'll be fine you know I'll be fine um
[4:06]it's just frustrating that's all it's
[4:09]just really really
[4:10]frustrating from my point of view
[4:14]um to think that you're beyond something
[4:17]and then to discover you're not and to
[4:20]still be managing a situation like this
[4:23]cuz I just want to get back to my old
[4:25]self you know I this is just
[4:28]not I'm I missed the old mean I truly
[4:31]miss the old
[4:32]mean um this has also made me think that
[4:36]I don't want to take any medications
[4:38]ever again ever again
[4:41]because if my doctor was
[4:44]this he wasn't honest with me there's no
[4:47]other way to put
[4:49]that how can I trusted he was honest
[4:52]about anything now you know that's kind
[4:54]of where my head is now you know
[4:57]disclaimer I'm going through a ra I
[5:00]don't know that you can trust anything
[5:01]I'm
[5:02]saying
[5:05]um technically I'm supposed to take a
[5:08]cholesterol and a blood pressure
[5:10]medicine I never really do sometimes I
[5:13]try and you know that might last a week
[5:15]or two and then I stopped taking it and
[5:18]it's always been like
[5:19]that um so that's probably not a problem
[5:24]I'm I'm just going to stop taking them
[5:25]I'm I moved into this camper with the
[5:28]intentions of completely changing the
[5:30]way I live my life so um I'm going to
[5:34]get healthy and I'm going to do it the
[5:35]you know the natural way I know I am I
[5:39]believe that like to the core of my
[5:42]being I believe that that leaves one
[5:44]medication and that's clopin and I'm
[5:47]taking a/4 milligram of that now once a
[5:50]day
[5:53]um and I realized I've been taking that
[5:56]for 20 years 20 years because I was 27
[6:01]years old when I had my first panic
[6:04]attack when I developed a fear of
[6:06]choking to death and I had these
[6:10]thoughts that just completely prevented
[6:12]me from being able to eat anything
[6:14]without thinking I was just going to
[6:16]die and I got on this medication and I'd
[6:20]been on it all of this time two decades
[6:23]now um at at the peak I took 1 and 12
[6:27]milligrams every day I take a qu of a
[6:29]milligram now it's a lot less and I
[6:33]wasn't even trying that just just just
[6:35]happened like over time it just just
[6:37]happened I don't even know how it
[6:38]happened I just when day was like wow I
[6:41]barely take any of this anymore and now
[6:45]the thoughts are gone they're not there
[6:47]anymore even during all the time I took
[6:50]the
[6:51]clownin
[6:53]my the fear was always there the
[6:55]thoughts were always there but they
[6:57]couldn't control me anymore I mean it
[6:58]was like Amer drug to
[7:02]me but those thoughts are gone so I'm I
[7:05]think
[7:06]like it's just time to get off
[7:08]everything I I
[7:10]don't I don't want to take anything
[7:14]but I'd have withdraw from that too you
[7:17]know I've been taking it for two
[7:20]decades I'm not going to compound my
[7:23]problems right now so I don't know what
[7:27]to do but I'll tell you this much I'm
[7:28]never seeing my doctor again I'm never
[7:30]seeing that man again um that is
[7:33]definitely where my head is now and I'm
[7:36]not sure I'll ever see any doctor ever
[7:38]again and I never thought I will be the
[7:41]kind of person who says that
[7:44]truly after this experience I don't see
[7:46]how I could think any differently truly
[7:48]I don't know how I
[7:50]could so that's how I'm feeling very
[7:54]very
[7:55]frustrated and knowing that at some
[7:58]point in the
[8:00]future I'm going to have to taper off of
[8:04]the very last medication I'm taking CU I
[8:07]don't want to take any of them ever
[8:11]again I just want to get back to my old
[8:13]self
