Clonazepam ruined my life

[voudebase]

Until the end of 2023 i lived a wonderful live. Have a good job, many friends, i was an athlete and was 3x first place on competitions on 2023. Got an salary increase, traveled many states of my country (Brazil), my life is very good.

In january 2024 i was in my mom's house and i went to drink some water. But she mixed the water with clonazepam to sleep and i didn't know, and i drinked all the bottle.

In the next day i woke up dizzy, sleepy, with the vision wrong like i'm drunk, and feeling a burden in my head

And now in July i still feel some symptoms, sometimes my head hurts so much and i can't walk right, i feel like i'm drunk when walking, without balance like i will fall, and my vision become bad

I visit so much doctors and did exams, and all of them say i'm ok but i'm not ok, i give up searching for doctors, maybe my disease is very rare or the science don't know nothing about it

My life is ruined and i want to ctb

This sounds kinda like drug-induced benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine medication which can be ototoxic (ear-damaging) in higher doses. It sounds kinda like this messed up your vestibules in your inner ears, which would cause most of the symptoms you described. The vestibules are responsible for your body's sense of balance. Did the doctors mention anything like that? There's something called the Epley maneuver that you can do when you feel this loss of balance than can help correct it, maybe Google it and try it? I would be surprised if your doctors didn't think of this, but it can't hurt to try.

I actually had that. (I was super dizzy getting up one day). And a coworker just happened to mention ear crystals. Amazingly, I did that procedure and it worked almost instantly. This was the first time it ever happened in my life, and hasn't happened since. But in your case maybe it has to do with the drug that you ingested. It may take some time to get it out of your system and for your body to readjust, so you'll need to be patient.

That must be really dreadful and tiring, it's certainly cruel to me how people suffer in this existence all through no fault of their own. But anyway I wish you the best.
