Hi everyone
I used to post here long ago but lost track of this website over the years
I'm a movement disorder patient with the conversion disorder label
which only means the neurologists can't figure out what's wrong
no weakness / all muscles work
but there are random movements (muscle tension) I can't control
usually low level
but lately over the years things have gotten noticeably worse
typing & handwriting are breaking down on me
I'm still working full time / with no usable diagnosis or treatment.
After all this time (17 years) I don't really care anymore
if the root cause is organic (physical) or psychological
with my luck it's probably a mix of both
so - my question:
Are there any Klonopin veterans out there
who successfully tried out herbal meds?
I had to be detoxed from Klonopin when it stopped working for me after being on it for 2 years.
& of course that is the only med that relieved the symptoms
no way I'll ever take that stuff again.
other meds I've tried / discarded are too numerous to list here.
Found a reference to Valerian Root yesterday
but the stuff I bought seems strong
But not as overpowering to me as the prescription muscle relaxers I've tried / discarded
just ordered a bottle of the same stuff at a lower dose.
I accidentally found this page listing some others here
but in all my travels to various doctors no one ever mentioned this.
thanks for any replies
