At the beginning of the pandemic my brother had marijuana induced psychosis, during his short stay at the hospital they prescribed him a super heavy dose of benzos. After a month of use he decided to stop taking it cold turkey. It sent him right back into psychosis… for 6 months he was in the psych ward, on a crazy chemical concoction. His doctor told him he has schizophrenia and would need to be on benzos for life. When he was finally stabilized due to the drugs, he was released. He spend the next 2 years tapering off the benzos. Today he is a year off completely and has never been better. Completely back to normal. Big pharma and it’s collusion with the medical industry is CRIMINAL

Keep in mind because of the draconian lockdown laws in Canada we were unable to see him at all. My brother was essentially held hostage by the government and forcibly medicated beyond belief. His rights were signed away under a form4 and the family was not allowed to have any medical records released to us because he was technically an adult(18) and could not consent to share this information WITH HIS FAMILY due to his state of mind. We fought tooth and nail every single day just to find out what they were doing to him. Luckily we were able to get his doctor switched from a pill pushing shill to someone who saw potential in his complete rehabilitation.

Same thing happened to me in the 1990's. I was a heavy weed smoker and ended up with psychosis. I ended up in the psyche ward of a hospital drugged to the max with 1950's era anti psychotics. Every time I try to smoke weed it's psychosis for the duration of the high. I have to stay away from the stuff. I still take benzo's because I have horrible anxiety.

@@wantsome-zs5sq jeez man, my brother has quit out weed and hasn’t smoked since, I hope you can do the same. I personally do not believe in anxiety, use to think I had it then realized I needed to stop being a bitch. Benzos are the devil, if you have a strong family support system behind you I highly suggest getting through the withdrawal and getting off that shit for good

Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

@@donmountains Psychedelics are not a crutch. You don't need to take them every day, in fact they just stop working if you take them too much. What they can do, and have done for me, is uproot stuff that I could never get at before. I only need to/only _can_ use ketamine once a week for me to benefit enormously. 5 meo DMT also massively helped with the existential dread that kept me stuck on benzos. I have done it...once. If recognizing you are a finger of the hand of God and there was never anything to fear and death is not the end is a crutch, then by all means, give me more crutches. And I'd done a huge amount of meditation before this. It was useless against the raw power of the benzos. But don't take my word for it. If you don't believe me, do your own research. There's a lot of info online about ketamine now, including interviews with specialists.

Been there man, recovered fentanyl addict, started the deeper end of my addiction with Xanax, 6 overdoses, being in and out of jail and rehabs wasn't enough until my mom begged me with tears in her eyes to get some help because she didn't wanna lose her child, now I'm 11 months clean, almost off probation, and being sober has changed me into an entirely different person from who I was before, this pill pandemic is worse than covid, and any other disease, this disease chooses you, and the worst part is the little understanding society has about addiction, no one blames a patient for being sick, but that logic typically doesn't apply for addicts, if you're reading this and you're struggling, you can change, you're more than capable, worth it, and you have more strength than you give yourself credit for, acceptance is the key to the beginning of your recovery, and the rest of your life

I got hooked on Xanax in 2021 almost by accident and I can't explain in words how difficult it was for me to get off em. The rebound was worse than hell and there were moments when I felt like I'd die. However, since than I must say that I've only gotten stronger and the experience of being able to fight off the addiction successfully will surely continue to inspire me for the rest of my life.

We are Benzo warriors ❤❤ My healing process (I’m not even going to call it withdrawal because what detox/withdrawal lasts months on end??!!) It was like living in the inner circle of hell. My hair started to fall out in clumps from the stress after a couple months and I would get huge rashes up my face and anxiety so bad that I would feel like an elephant was sat on my chest and I would dissociate and lose all sense of time and space. My own home felt unfamiliar and creepy and I could not cope having anyone in my house. The depression waves were periods of dark black that would have me feeling so lonely and distraught that I was seriously starting to think it would be better if I killed myself. I’m glad that my dad and stepmother insisted I come live with them for a while because they could see how hard I was struggling and then I wouldn’t be on my own. They cooked me healthy meals and got me out the house for a quick walk everyday (I felt so panicked that I thought I would faint outside the house for a while) but eventually with diet and exercise it did seem to speed up the healing process. Two years completely free from Xanax now and feeling great ❤❤

This just blew me away!! For starters, I'm elated that someone else sucked pacifiers until age six. Thought I was the only one, lol. Anyway, I too was prescribed xanax after an incident left me with PTSD and Panic Disorder when I was 17. But I didn't take them for the the first few years. I didn't like how it made me feel...until a few years later when my father had a heart attack and died in my arms. I was 20. It was then that I came to rely on them. I needed them to erase the image of watching my Dad die. I needed them to sleep. I needed them to breathe. I had NO idea they were addictive until I went 26 hours without taking any. I woke up in the hospital completely confused. I had suffered a Grand Mal Seizure. I'm a 5'7", 120lb woman. It took a few years, but my tolerance became totally outrageous! I was taking between 10-15, 2mg pills a day. I would take 4 or 5 bars at a time, 2 or 3 times a day. My size paired with the amount I was taking astonished the doctors. They couldn't believe I hadn't died.. much less that I functioned on this amount. I worked full time, was promoted, gained my own clientele, and began working for myself. This stuff changes your brain chemistry. No normal person should be able to survive such an amount..much less be functional. I had SO many from years of not taking them. Obviously, this had become a huge problem. I'm still working my way down. I'm currently at 4mg/day... I work with a Psychiatric Neurologist who manages my titration. He literally helped pull me from the trenches. I've normalized a great deal as far as having emotional feelings again, but I still have work to do. I know I'll get there. I'm just grateful to be alive. Thanks for sharing this story. Obviously, it resonated with me on many levels. 🙏🙏 Edit: If ANYONE got this far, thank you. I doubt anyone will, but it was therapeutic to tell my story, so if you read this, I'm grateful and I hope it gives some insight into this topic. 🙏✌

Her anxiety was so bad & she had been on them for so long they wrote her extended release 3 & 4 mg’s as well as bars. Anyway, she kicked em a few years back & it was so hard watching her go through it. She had to be hospitalized for over a week. Good luck to you. You can do it.

benzo withdrawal is like the 9th circle of hell. Over the pandemic my mom got pancreatic cancer and I got super stressed and got prescribed klonopin which is same class of drug as xanax. after 2.5 years I got so dependent that I knew I needed to quit so I went cold turkey (in hindsight this was dumb af) but after day 5 the withdrawal so bad shaking, sweating hallucinating that I had to go to the ER. At the hospital they tried to put me back on klonopin but I refused so they addmited me literally confined me to a padded seizure bed and gave me phenobarbital for 10 days to knock me out during the detox. (like the docs literally had to break out drug chest from the 1960s and gave me barbiturates) then released me. I still felt like a zombie for months after. Those things are no joke. I'm convinced that a lot of famous deaths the past several years are for benzos!!! People need to talk about it more.

I got addicted to Xanax after taking them every day for like three weeks straight. But after I took them like five times I realized how much better it felt to be on one and didn't want to do anything social without one. Back then I was like 18 so I was going out a lot and just ended up getting addicted. Then I got put on Klonopin to substitute cause it's not as bad and I was on that for the next 12 years. Only now that I'm 32 I finally quit taking them. It took me a year before my anxiety was back to a normal human level. I feel fine now. I just know I'm not going to seek them out unless my anxiety gets real bad again to where I can't function. Seriously though, anxiety is a huge issue with a lot of people these days. I don't know why but I know a lot of people who have taken benzos to help with anxiety. Cause it's a real problem.

I got woke up in bed by my recent ex, waking me up in a panic saying lesters dead, we need to go to the hospital! It didn't register then, but on the way to the hospital I was thinking im Gonna beat his ass, because we all went hard in the paint, but lester went hard all day everyday n we all had concerns he was gonna go to hard one day, n he did. I'll never forget seeing him in the hospital bed purple as can be with his mom n sisters holding his hands bawling. He was my best friend man, i lived with hum when I left my parents at 17 after a physical fight with my dad, were kicked it n discovered philosophy n existentialism, all that weird bonding shit. He was a special guy, n I can't help but wish I would have just picked him up instead of popping that pill. Fucks me up to this day. 15 years later I still pay my respects to him whenever I can.

I cold Turkey’d Xanax , I was on it for 16 years after getting it prescribed at the age of 17, I had no idea what I was getting into…. I had to lock myself in my room for literally months and even after a full year, I wasn’t 100%, I thought I was dying. I was hallucinating, extremely dehydrated because I couldn’t stop sweating, my heart was racing and I couldn’t even get in the shower let alone being around people. You end up having to pay back in full, all the anxiety you’ve ever suppressed. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy! Today it’s been roughly 4 years and I’m still not the same, I still have a massive amount of anxiety and social anxiety which I’ve never had. Stay away from those things!!! All the doctors refused to help me get off it and sent me home to deal with it in my own, including the doctor that originally got me on it. It should be criminal to get a person but especially a teen, hooked on something like that when I trusted the doctors knowledge. I took beta blockers, checked my own blood pressure daily and did it on my own. It was a nightmare.

I guess he just assumed every patient is a fucking idiot -- so he goes "yeah, no, you've got hay fever. give us $250 and here's a prescription you can't fill because Flonase is available over the counter." So I go to CVS, get the intramuscular injection needles, go to TSC, get the bovine penicillin... I injected it into the worst possible muscle because I wanted ease-of-inject, not lack-of-pain. Burned like hell, couldn't get the dose I calculated off the bottle -- I probably got a fifth of it in me. 3 days later, I blew my nose. Out comes a 7" long brown-tan gelatinous mass. Nothing to do with the antibiotic I injected though, noooo. Definitely didn't need that antibiotic, did I? Noooo, course not. I refuse to pay them for the lack of service to this day.

Just take it one day at a time, James. Don't be afraid to get help from a friend or Doctor or whoever you can to help, even if it's just to talk about it. But it's got to be someone you can trust 100%. Benzos are a class of substance of physical dependence as well as psychological, so take it slow and above all, take it methodical. Either ask a Doctor how best to taper, or look on the internet. But also, you have got to trust how you feel too. Maybe try getting off one first before trying to get off the other. I don't know how it affects you but I found that valium seemed to be the easier and beneficial one for me to get off, so if that's the case for you, I would taper off valium first. But it doesn't count as tapering if you up the dosage of xanax. It only counts if the xanax dose is the same (or decreasing) while you decrease your valium. But probably best not to taper both at the same time, unless you have got a good feeling about it. And remember, addiction is a matter of personal suffering, not a personal failure. Good logic is your friend.

I was on a pretty heavy Xanax + Addy + Beer regimen for years. Woke up one day and prayed.. Asking Jesus to see me through quitting all of that cold turkey. Put my faith in him, knowing he would take all of that off of me and not let me die just yet. It was rough/flu-like for about 3 days straight. Never dealt with withdrawals prior-to. Sober for the past 5 months and will remain so. All Glory to God.

Mind you, I was taking probably 1-2mg of Xanax on a daily basis. In addition to 30mg of Addy in the AM with my coffee during the week. Then on the weekends it was Addy in the AM, then upwards of 60mg at night with alcohol whether I was bar hopping or not. Then a Xanax nightcap. Lol. So pretty heavy usage across the board.

Always a great day when uncle Joey is on the pod🙌🙌
At the beginning of the pandemic my brother had marijuana induced psychosis, during his short stay at the hospital they prescribed him a super heavy dose of benzos. After a month of use he decided to stop taking it cold turkey. It sent him right back into psychosis… for 6 months he was in the psych ward, on a crazy chemical concoction. His doctor told him he has schizophrenia and would need to be on benzos for life. When he was finally stabilized due to the drugs, he was released. He spend the next 2 years tapering off the benzos. Today he is a year off completely and has never been better. Completely back to normal. Big pharma and it’s collusion with the medical industry is CRIMINAL
Keep in mind because of the draconian lockdown laws in Canada we were unable to see him at all. My brother was essentially held hostage by the government and forcibly medicated beyond belief. His rights were signed away under a form4 and the family was not allowed to have any medical records released to us because he was technically an adult(18) and could not consent to share this information WITH HIS FAMILY due to his state of mind. We fought tooth and nail every single day just to find out what they were doing to him. Luckily we were able to get his doctor switched from a pill pushing shill to someone who saw potential in his complete rehabilitation.
Same thing happened to me in the 1990's. I was a heavy weed smoker and ended up with psychosis. I ended up in the psyche ward of a hospital drugged to the max with 1950's era anti psychotics. Every time I try to smoke weed it's psychosis for the duration of the high. I have to stay away from the stuff. I still take benzo's because I have horrible anxiety.
@@wantsome-zs5sq jeez man, my brother has quit out weed and hasn’t smoked since, I hope you can do the same. I personally do not believe in anxiety, use to think I had it then realized I needed to stop being a bitch. Benzos are the devil, if you have a strong family support system behind you I highly suggest getting through the withdrawal and getting off that shit for good
So happy for him man ❤
Catatonic schizophrenia is treated with high dose benzodiazepines and stopping it suddenly will send you right back. The psychiatrist should have done a better job educating the patient and family
It is really good to see Joey again, he has been missed. Joey tells stories like no one else.
They’re all made up
You don’t have to miss him you know he has his own show right?
Yeah completely BS stories
Haha
Lol we live in such a weird time... imagine saying that you miss someone you don't know. Stop the weird relationships with celebrities it's disgusting
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to Crack. Spent my whole life fighting Crack addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, Crack, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
I’m coming off my prescription meds for panic and anxiety and man it’s tough. My whole body is falling apart and I didn’t realise it’s withdrawal! When Joey said he was withdrawing I had tears in my eyes. So many of us are going through it! Don’t try ti hide it and don’t go hard on yourself. We got this
Dont worry brother ive been through it before as bad as it feels it will pass make sure you taper off instead of right away and you will be fine, you made the right decision you will be killing it in life in no time you dont know how much that shit holds us back.🎉
Ketamine has _really_ helped me quit benzos and deal with the mental and physical symptoms.
Alcohol and Benzos kill more people than opioids! They literally do the same thing to your mind and body. You don't O.D. from them. You die from trying to stop taking them.
@@squamish4244 Yes let's trade a crutch for another crutch.
@@donmountains Psychedelics are not a crutch. You don't need to take them every day, in fact they just stop working if you take them too much. What they can do, and have done for me, is uproot stuff that I could never get at before. I only need to/only _can_ use ketamine once a week for me to benefit enormously. 5 meo DMT also massively helped with the existential dread that kept me stuck on benzos. I have done it...once. If recognizing you are a finger of the hand of God and there was never anything to fear and death is not the end is a crutch, then by all means, give me more crutches. And I'd done a huge amount of meditation before this. It was useless against the raw power of the benzos. But don't take my word for it. If you don't believe me, do your own research. There's a lot of info online about ketamine now, including interviews with specialists.
Took me 3 years to quit Xanax.. had 3 seizures , continued to fail my fam. Eventually had enough . Got sober , felt like shit and had crazy anxiety for a whole year until I finally started to feel somewhat normal. To anybody caught in the loop you can do it. Just take it one day at a time Edit: 5 years sober now and happy as can be. Working in healthcare with no desire to ever go back to using. Y’all got this .
I don’t what hell is, but there o\is not much worse than Xanax dependence. You beat that, you can do pretty much anything
Hey bro, am from the UK. What exactly is Xanax? What does it do?
GOOD FOR YOU BRO. IT'S HELL & YOU DID IT, Michael, YOU FUKIN DID IT.
@@keytostart7053Xanax is a benzodiozapine which is a type of depressant that is chemically similar to alcohol.
@@keytostart7053 it makes you not worry as much about the things that are stressing you out or making you have panic attacks. gives some euphoria and makes you feel a bit high just as part of what the drug is doing to ur brain chemistry.
I cold turkey’d benzos and opiates, he’s right you feel like you’re going to die as your body just throws the ultimate tantrum. It took me a year to feel human after going clean, then I had to learn to behave like a human and not an anesthetized NPC, I was on the meds for a decade. 7 years sober🙂
why did you stop taking them?
@@LoyalOpposition I was addicted and it was ruining my brain, I had to stop or face an early death.
How much opiods were you taking? I been in for 2 years of hydrocodone. Stopped a fee times and had withdrawal every single time. I should of kept going when i did almost a month. I keep putting off the withdrawals because i have so much shit to do . I take anywhere from 10-30mg average a day
I went through hell and back like you! Worst experience of my life! Glad to see you beat it! Took me 18+ months to feel semi-nornormal.
👏👏👏🦾Congrats man! I wish a happy life!🍀👋😉

I love that Joey is getting healthy for his daughter. We have to go through so much crap before we start taking care of ourselves
One of the biggest things to overcoming addiction is understanding exactly what it's doing to your brain chemistry. Uncle Joey is finally seeing that, for the better.
Joey Diaz gotta be the only guy who needs a smartwatch to tell him the time.
Well he's 60 years old I mean he should have gotten healthy years ago.
🤔🤔Xanax does mess with head, you don't think straight, your memories go away, so does your creativity and basically you lose who you once were, after 10yrs of ups an downs, you eventually start feeling normal especially with a bit of exercise an diet. So there is Hope guys, but You have to make that decision,Period.
This. Thats because in most areas we are reactive, not just with our health, but in just about every area, and we should be way more proactive. We cause ourselves so much unneeded pain.
Storytelling is an art that’s lost and only Joey still has it. He’s the best storyteller in the world. I wish there was a weekly story time by Joey on JRE

Getting off benzos was the hardest thing I have ever done. A week of laying in a dark room, muscles spasming uncontrollably, insane anxiety, sweating profusely, no sleep.... crazy thoughts the entire time. It took months for the mental stuff to start wearing off too. It was terrible and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Sounds scary
This is exactly me I've only just begun the journey and it's brutal already, any idea on how long you felt the pains and all and any advice to help the journey would be much appreciated 🙂
@@fintanmcnelis2455 I wish I did - but I don't. Maybe go out and get some Kava or Valerian tea. Or if you're lucky enough to be in a country/State where Weed and/or Kratom is legal, that would probably help a bit (not the best advice to give, but whatever gets you through it man). Stick with it bro. It can be done. Best of luck to ye.
Never experienced it but almost anything that affects the GABA receptors like Benzos and Alcohol will be scary and possibly deadly if you get dependent on it and quit cold turkey @LuxuryBeatsMusic
For anyone getting off of benzos, please please taper off slowly. Make sure a MD or psychiatric nurse practitioner is supporting you during this process. Sending love ❤️

Been there man, recovered fentanyl addict, started the deeper end of my addiction with Xanax, 6 overdoses, being in and out of jail and rehabs wasn't enough until my mom begged me with tears in her eyes to get some help because she didn't wanna lose her child, now I'm 11 months clean, almost off probation, and being sober has changed me into an entirely different person from who I was before, this pill pandemic is worse than covid, and any other disease, this disease chooses you, and the worst part is the little understanding society has about addiction, no one blames a patient for being sick, but that logic typically doesn't apply for addicts, if you're reading this and you're struggling, you can change, you're more than capable, worth it, and you have more strength than you give yourself credit for, acceptance is the key to the beginning of your recovery, and the rest of your life

Joey Diaz is such an interesting person. You can just listen to him for hours without getting bored.
I 100% understand my soul, its basically universal perception split into all these boxs and each box is an ego , an eppetite, and all these things but when you take the perception from the physical body the body falls away, easily replaced, you could possibly be thrown into another body and be totally contrary to that bodies ego etc. which is possibly why some SOME people become trans , some people who say they are trans just wanna be put in a womans prison , purely for their own gain but that is also interestiung specifically because they arent conected to a body or the one they currently are in . I found it curious when my head was removed that variosu interesting things occured which i dont talk about.

My wife is taking 6mg a day of Xanax. It was prescribed to help alleviate her dizziness symptoms from vertigo. After 3 years she has no life, sits at home staring at a tv, her dizziness is x10 worse, can’t drive, can’t work, and can’t sleep. She’s convinced it is the vertigo taking her life away but I always thought it was the Xanax. She’s 92 lbs and can’t eat cause she gets nauseous. Showing her this video helped joe, I think she understands that getting off this crap will give her some semblance of life. We just need to figure out how to taper off…
Also try magnesium most vertigo stems from the body being deprived of it. Especially being on benzodiazepines. It won’t help w withdraw but it with help the vertigo. They have a spray
Please do it medically. Xanax withdrawal is EXTREMELY dangerous and potentially life threatening. Last thing you want to do is go cold turkey.
Research the "Ashton Method". Very slow taper is extremely important ! NEVER EVEN CONSIDER "REHAB". Regardless of what they CLAIM, i haven't seen one yet that doesn't Fast taper ,then cold turkey !
Shave a bit of each dose. Go slow.
If she had dizziness and vertigo before taking Xanax and it only got worse then it's probably nothing to do with the Xanax and she has some other issues going on.
Just smiled because I see there's a new podcast with the man, the myth, the legend Joey Diaz!
I love these Joey Diaz stories.
I live a quiet life of desperation...i live vicariously through joey d stories.
The panic attack story at the beginning rally resonates with me. It feels like an autopilot experience if you push yourself through it and every thing becomes dreamlike.
I got hooked on Xanax in 2021 almost by accident and I can't explain in words how difficult it was for me to get off em. The rebound was worse than hell and there were moments when I felt like I'd die. However, since than I must say that I've only gotten stronger and the experience of being able to fight off the addiction successfully will surely continue to inspire me for the rest of my life.
Good for you!
We are Benzo warriors ❤❤ My healing process (I’m not even going to call it withdrawal because what detox/withdrawal lasts months on end??!!) It was like living in the inner circle of hell. My hair started to fall out in clumps from the stress after a couple months and I would get huge rashes up my face and anxiety so bad that I would feel like an elephant was sat on my chest and I would dissociate and lose all sense of time and space. My own home felt unfamiliar and creepy and I could not cope having anyone in my house. The depression waves were periods of dark black that would have me feeling so lonely and distraught that I was seriously starting to think it would be better if I killed myself. I’m glad that my dad and stepmother insisted I come live with them for a while because they could see how hard I was struggling and then I wouldn’t be on my own. They cooked me healthy meals and got me out the house for a quick walk everyday (I felt so panicked that I thought I would faint outside the house for a while) but eventually with diet and exercise it did seem to speed up the healing process. Two years completely free from Xanax now and feeling great ❤❤

This just blew me away!! For starters, I'm elated that someone else sucked pacifiers until age six. Thought I was the only one, lol. Anyway, I too was prescribed xanax after an incident left me with PTSD and Panic Disorder when I was 17. But I didn't take them for the the first few years. I didn't like how it made me feel...until a few years later when my father had a heart attack and died in my arms. I was 20. It was then that I came to rely on them. I needed them to erase the image of watching my Dad die. I needed them to sleep. I needed them to breathe. I had NO idea they were addictive until I went 26 hours without taking any. I woke up in the hospital completely confused. I had suffered a Grand Mal Seizure. I'm a 5'7", 120lb woman. It took a few years, but my tolerance became totally outrageous! I was taking between 10-15, 2mg pills a day. I would take 4 or 5 bars at a time, 2 or 3 times a day. My size paired with the amount I was taking astonished the doctors. They couldn't believe I hadn't died.. much less that I functioned on this amount. I worked full time, was promoted, gained my own clientele, and began working for myself. This stuff changes your brain chemistry. No normal person should be able to survive such an amount..much less be functional. I had SO many from years of not taking them. Obviously, this had become a huge problem. I'm still working my way down. I'm currently at 4mg/day... I work with a Psychiatric Neurologist who manages my titration. He literally helped pull me from the trenches. I've normalized a great deal as far as having emotional feelings again, but I still have work to do. I know I'll get there. I'm just grateful to be alive. Thanks for sharing this story. Obviously, it resonated with me on many levels. 🙏🙏 Edit: If ANYONE got this far, thank you. I doubt anyone will, but it was therapeutic to tell my story, so if you read this, I'm grateful and I hope it gives some insight into this topic. 🙏✌
The doctor that prescribed that amount should have their medical license revoked. That's totally insane. Good luck.
My wife is even smaller than you. She’s 5ft 1” & 110 lbs & the amount of Xanax she could take was astonishing. Enough to drop very large men & have them drooling on themselves ( I saw it) And she NEVER abused them only took them as prescribed. Her anxiety was so bad & she had been on them for so long they wrote her extended release 3 & 4 mg’s as well as bars. Anyway, she kicked em a few years back & it was so hard watching her go through it. She had to be hospitalized for over a week. Good luck to you. You can do it. My wife is doing great now & says she wont ever touch another Benzo as long as she lives. You can do it too & it sounds like you’re well on your way.
@@jolemite2639 well done to Yr wife. So pleased to hear good stories of recovery, they are so inspiring. ❤
Good job, Drs just fuck people up for the most part. Over 200 THOUSAND deaths a year from using the wrong pills together (like they did me but I survived) and 200 thousand more from bad treatments. It is very, very difficult finding a good Doc.
@@jolemite2639 Yes, the amount that our brain becomes used to having can be astronomical! It's always inspiring and motivating to hear that someone has gotten through all the way to the other side. I've made a ton of progress, but there is still work to be done. I'm glad she made it. She sounds like a pretty strong lady. Thank you for sharing her success with me. 🙏🙏
How he’s still here after the things he’s done and been through is a miracle. Joey your an inspiration
How are Keith Richards and Mick Jagger still touring, or better yet, even alive after all the drinking and drugs over the years?

It's called nighttime anxiety and I smoke before I sleep helps me not think about shit that doesn't matter so I can sleep
REALLY LIKE THIS MAN ! Joey is so funny 😂 so many old stories
Joey Diaz and Duncan are the funniest guests of all time, hands down. Joe is lucky af to have friends like them.

Facts
@@Grandmaster_of_the_Jedi_order amen
benzo withdrawal is like the 9th circle of hell. Over the pandemic my mom got pancreatic cancer and I got super stressed and got prescribed klonopin which is same class of drug as xanax. after 2.5 years I got so dependent that I knew I needed to quit so I went cold turkey (in hindsight this was dumb af) but after day 5 the withdrawal so bad shaking, sweating hallucinating that I had to go to the ER. At the hospital they tried to put me back on klonopin but I refused so they addmited me literally confined me to a padded seizure bed and gave me phenobarbital for 10 days to knock me out during the detox. (like the docs literally had to break out drug chest from the 1960s and gave me barbiturates) then released me. I still felt like a zombie for months after. Those things are no joke. I'm convinced that a lot of famous deaths the past several years are for benzos!!! People need to talk about it more.
It’s not just the Benzos . You can’t overdose on benzos alone. You die when you mix benzos with other drugs and alcohol.
Hang in there…day by day your body and mind will recover… little by little…stick it out Bro…you can do it
@@Dougy345 Thanks man. I've been clean from that crap for some months now not going down that road again!
I agree they are terrible. I never had to go the extent you did or had as bad a time coming off them but had bad moments. I was abusing all benzos I could get my hands on from the DW. had some kind of mini-siezures a few times and weird kind of head aches coming off them and had to call an ambulance one time cause I thought I was having a heart attack and on deaths door but it was just a really bad panic attack. They are very dangerous imo
What's something good to take like Xanax for panic attacks like when you have to go to the dentist?
I saw Joey at a comedy show in New York. Dude was sweating bullets and his shirt was dripping. HANDS down that funniest stand up I ever witnessed in my life. He my fav guest on JRE.
LOVED the Chris Cornell tribute gentlemen! ❤
Joey looking for a window to throw records thru when he got nervous doing stand-up. You are a beautiful soul Joey. A master story teller. It's an honor to listen to you.
Always a good time with Uncle Joey!
I got addicted to Xanax after taking them every day for like three weeks straight. But after I took them like five times I realized how much better it felt to be on one and didn't want to do anything social without one. Back then I was like 18 so I was going out a lot and just ended up getting addicted. Then I got put on Klonopin to substitute cause it's not as bad and I was on that for the next 12 years. Only now that I'm 32 I finally quit taking them. It took me a year before my anxiety was back to a normal human level. I feel fine now. I just know I'm not going to seek them out unless my anxiety gets real bad again to where I can't function. Seriously though, anxiety is a huge issue with a lot of people these days. I don't know why but I know a lot of people who have taken benzos to help with anxiety. Cause it's a real problem.

Redbar is the reason he’s sober
Joe Diaz is a trip. Been through so much and is still here. God Bless
You know id be in prison had I done the things he has? You people are SHEEP
Redbar was right
I had xanax one time. I was supposed to pick up my best friend, but popped the whole bar, n ended up laying down in bed for n intended 2 seconds cause it hit me like a ton of bricks. My homie ended up drinking in a hot tub n had a freak heart attack at only 20 n died in the ambulance. I got woke up in bed by my recent ex, waking me up in a panic saying lesters dead, we need to go to the hospital! It didn't register then, but on the way to the hospital I was thinking im Gonna beat his ass, because we all went hard in the paint, but lester went hard all day everyday n we all had concerns he was gonna go to hard one day, n he did. I'll never forget seeing him in the hospital bed purple as can be with his mom n sisters holding his hands bawling. He was my best friend man, i lived with hum when I left my parents at 17 after a physical fight with my dad, were kicked it n discovered philosophy n existentialism, all that weird bonding shit. He was a special guy, n I can't help but wish I would have just picked him up instead of popping that pill. Fucks me up to this day. 15 years later I still pay my respects to him whenever I can.
You weren't gonna stop the heart attack if you picked him up man it was gonna happen regardless.
What caused the heart attack? And why the f do you blame yourself when it's a heart attack. You flaked on him because you're were addict but he was going to go regardless.
@@Burgerkingsucks1 He went hard. And when he went hard, he went hard _into the paint._ It's...unpleasant, if you catch my drift.
@@Burgerkingsucks1 Drinking and hot tubs are both vasodilators his blood pressure tanked and he died. It's a deadly combo. Just like benzo and alcohol.
@@mufcok2148 definitely not and always people should be aware you should avoid drinking in hot tubs. or drinking at all it's not that good for you.
Joey Diaz spirit is literally made for podcasting 💯
Glad to hear Joey shook this habit, scary how easily it can erase your memory
Woke up in a hotel room full of blood from a seizure gettin off xans. Everyday is a blessing
Glad you are still with us bro. I went on a xanax binge for like a week and just stopped because I was doing crazy shit and ended up having a seizure at work thank god a customer was there
Jeezus…thats wild.
When I saw Uncle Joey was on again, I quit everything I was doing to watch him tell his awesome stories lol
Most of his stories are made up. Same with Theo
@chutcentral I keep hearing the same thing. But what gets me is, he will tell these stories over and over again, the stories never change. Either he's the best liar in the world, or he's legit telling the truth. He's definitely lived a life. I'm kinda in the middle. Some seem outlandish, some seem real. I honestly just enjoy him and his stories regardless of their true or not. But I tend to agree with you. Theo DEFINITELY makes alot if his shit up, but they are hilarious! His style of comedy is very unique. There is nobody like Theo in the history of comedy. I have noticed he uses alot of the same material over and over again.
hahah thats the way fam
Repent. Believe in Jesus and become a new person. John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Matthew 4:17 KJV From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. John 3:3 KJV - “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
@@jgdecaro1 wtf! What does your comment have to do with anything about this Video?? Don't be weird.
42yr old female here; and you Joey Mr. Diaz, are my twin flame!! You’re telling these life experiences and memories and I feel like you’re talking about me!!! So much love from NC❤
i just love joey diaz!
I really gotta start working out and being healthy.. lol... Also thank you so much, you guys are amazing together. Sometimes these conversations are so amazing and really makes me keep pushing to be a better person. I appreciate you having these real conversations so much. I may not be what I want to tomorrow but this helps me try to do better.
It's amazing how interesting joey is. The pure truth and honesty is almost overwhelming at times but sucks you in like no other. He makes me feel like I've known him my whole life and we are just catching up every podcast.
Joey is actually an compulsive liar and liar and exaggerator. Almost everything he says is peppered with made up bullshit. Everyone who knows him knows this and it's an inside joke amongst them.
Nah.
Always love hearing Joey's stories. He's like that one family member that will give it to you straight rather than blow sunshine up your ass and then stab you in the back for the rest of your life. Joey earns respect!
I love experiences like this it really helps to say I’m not crazy. I mean I have problems but I’m not crazy. I’m not the only one. 🙏🏼
Joey's an entertaining storyteller as it is, the fact he is so candid about the benzos and so open about the his reexamination about it is even more impactful. An entertainer and humanizer. Enjoyed this!!
Repent to Jesus Christ “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” 1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV
Redar has been calling him out and Joey freaked out and came on the show to do damage control. Joey is a drug addict and he brags about it constantly. All the comments praising him for his sobriety are ridiculous.
I had a rough time getting off Benzos. I did it cold turkey.. Not a good idea at all, definitely get help... I was on them for about 15 years. It's been a year and a half now and I haven't touched one.
He's so great at storytelling! I love his pov
I acquired mine from an online dmt psychedelic store they ship discreet¿?¿

phramtrip!!!!
I could listen to Joey tell stories all day long. He’s so awesome!
Tony? 🫠
I cold Turkey’d Xanax , I was on it for 16 years after getting it prescribed at the age of 17, I had no idea what I was getting into…. I had to lock myself in my room for literally months and even after a full year, I wasn’t 100%, I thought I was dying. I was hallucinating, extremely dehydrated because I couldn’t stop sweating, my heart was racing and I couldn’t even get in the shower let alone being around people. You end up having to pay back in full, all the anxiety you’ve ever suppressed. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy! Today it’s been roughly 4 years and I’m still not the same, I still have a massive amount of anxiety and social anxiety which I’ve never had. Stay away from those things!!! All the doctors refused to help me get off it and sent me home to deal with it in my own, including the doctor that originally got me on it. It should be criminal to get a person but especially a teen, hooked on something like that when I trusted the doctors knowledge. I took beta blockers, checked my own blood pressure daily and did it on my own. It was a nightmare.
That sounds horrible. Sorry to hear that. And yeah, those doctors should be locked up in jail, literally. How can they do such a thing after 16 YEARS on benzos? Either they're ridiculously dumb or purely evil.
I went through the exact same thing. I would wake up thinking that what ever I had dreamed the night before was real. It was scary as hell.
It was all for that pharma kickback money. Let this be a lesson to anyone that reads this, no one really cares about you but yourself. They may act like they do, but easily justify whatever possible harm they do when they stand to benefit.
Have u tried an SSRI like Lexapro for anxiety? It helps with my anxiety. The side effects are mild compared to other drugs.
@@sarpsays Evil. It's all about money. I saved my own life from a very nasty sinus infection I picked up from a repossessed car (worked as a condition report writer at an auto auction; had fever and temps high enough to cause delirium as well as vertigo and nausea) by self-injecting bovine penicillin after being denied an antibiotic specifically because I mentioned what I needed ahead of time to the doctor. I guess he just assumed every patient is a fucking idiot -- so he goes "yeah, no, you've got hay fever. give us $250 and here's a prescription you can't fill because Flonase is available over the counter." So I go to CVS, get the intramuscular injection needles, go to TSC, get the bovine penicillin... I injected it into the worst possible muscle because I wanted ease-of-inject, not lack-of-pain. Burned like hell, couldn't get the dose I calculated off the bottle -- I probably got a fifth of it in me. 3 days later, I blew my nose. Out comes a 7" long brown-tan gelatinous mass. Nothing to do with the antibiotic I injected though, noooo. Definitely didn't need that antibiotic, did I? Noooo, course not. I refuse to pay them for the lack of service to this day.
glad to hear Joey's doing better
Man can relate so much with the coffee part. I have started drinking coffee late at night and my sleep schedule is affected.
Dawg this made my day! It’s been a good while since Uncle Joey was on !!!
Even got you talking like Joey 😆
So redbar was right back then. Maybe he even helped give Joey the push to get sober. I’m glad to hear he’s doing better, addiction and physical dependence is a crazy thing.
redbar is right 9/10 times
Always good to see long time buddies back together, for another podcast.
I struggle with sleeping, but i could stay up all night listening to these 2.
Dont worry ils font be okay❤
When I see Uncle Joey on JRE just fill me with joy man, instantly.
This was great to watch, Joey really knows how to hold your attention, was on the edge of my seat listening to his story lol.. good stuff
Joey, I'm terrified of my detox off Xanax and Valium, but your words give me strength that I can do it, like you said, start going backwards
Just take it one day at a time, James. Don't be afraid to get help from a friend or Doctor or whoever you can to help, even if it's just to talk about it. But it's got to be someone you can trust 100%. Benzos are a class of substance of physical dependence as well as psychological, so take it slow and above all, take it methodical. Either ask a Doctor how best to taper, or look on the internet. But also, you have got to trust how you feel too. Maybe try getting off one first before trying to get off the other. I don't know how it affects you but I found that valium seemed to be the easier and beneficial one for me to get off, so if that's the case for you, I would taper off valium first. But it doesn't count as tapering if you up the dosage of xanax. It only counts if the xanax dose is the same (or decreasing) while you decrease your valium. But probably best not to taper both at the same time, unless you have got a good feeling about it. And remember, addiction is a matter of personal suffering, not a personal failure. Good logic is your friend.
I used to pop them like candy everyday now I’m at qtr xan every other day. Tapering down is the best way imo
I’m on both too. Tapering now after a decade.
Much respect for Mr. Diaz
I could listen to Joey all day. He has so much soul.
Never a dull moment with you Joey! Much love
Great interview! What is this Whoop thing Joeys talking about?
love uncle joey ❤
Savor this man people. I will cry when this man is gone from this world. He’s truly the definition of a “one-of-one” human.
He suffers the only brand of criminal insanity that is compatible with regular viewers. There is just one man on Earth who could put kidnapped hookers in his car trunk, then have a drink with them later after release from custody :D Joey Diaz!
I can never get these 15 minutes back…
i was on benzo's for few years due to anxiety problems caused by adhd.. the withdrawal i had from that stuff after stopping cold turkey was unreal. The insomnia i suffered was the most horrible feeling ever, awake for multiple days in a row and deadly tired yet completely unable to sleep, it was a fucking trip. Eventually after struggling through like 3 weeks of being stuck in my room barely functioning i started to slowly improve, funny enouhh exercises like hiking and running and cycling improved healing even more
I like Redbars take on this
Joeys a real dude man! I love listening to his stories! Good luck Big Joe! Keep at it!
I see “Joe Rogan” I see “Joey Diaz” I say YES!! Love how “human” things are his podcast
So happy to see Joey back on the podcast absolute legend and the podcast never disappoints when he’s on!
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
He tells the best stories. Can only imagine the ones he tells off-camera. Gold .
I was on a pretty heavy Xanax + Addy + Beer regimen for years. Woke up one day and prayed.. Asking Jesus to see me through quitting all of that cold turkey. Put my faith in him, knowing he would take all of that off of me and not let me die just yet. It was rough/flu-like for about 3 days straight. Never dealt with withdrawals prior-to. Sober for the past 5 months and will remain so. All Glory to God.
Amen. Stay strong brother
how long have you been off and how do you feel now?
@@SneedEmFeedEm292 haven't done any of it since right around Christmas 2022. Feel great, man! Life is better sober
Mind you, I was taking probably 1-2mg of Xanax on a daily basis. In addition to 30mg of Addy in the AM with my coffee during the week. Then on the weekends it was Addy in the AM, then upwards of 60mg at night with alcohol whether I was bar hopping or not. Then a Xanax nightcap. Lol. So pretty heavy usage across the board.
@@omerta2588 thanks for sharing. I was in a similar place 2016-2018 with the adderall but didnt stop the xanax until a couple months ago. definitely better now but looking forward to eventually feeling "normal" again. i still feel outside of myself/surreal every now and then.
Anxiety always likes to fuck around with me 😳
We just love Joey Diaz ❤
Always a great day when uncle Joey is on the pod🙌🙌
