Im worried about my sanity and soul.

i am not making this up.
When i was in benzodiapine withdrawal i heard the voice of the devil. I saw my self as diablo like demon and later felt my self get possesed by the devil, only to be rescued by the arch-angel micheal.

Now either this was the drug and 3 months of no sleep or this was real.

This either means i now vuneralble to pscyhosis or I have the lord of hell gunning for me. What am to do.

Go see a psychiatrist. I think it seems to be that you have a problem with the drugs.

Or god thinks otherwise...

Quit taking them, before it gets worse.

Gunning for you? He had you, and few can break that grip. You must be a good person, not many get pulled from the pit. You were there, you saw, have Faith!

Stop taking drugs if possible, I have my problems, but dealing with them drunk or drugged does not help. Get thee to a National Forest, take twenty mile hikes, faster, none of that nature trail stuff, mountains if you can find them, faster, hike till you sweat. Breath in through the nose, out through the mouth, Oxygenate yourself, purge the gasses from your body. Cities have 15% Oxygen, forests 22%.

You were pulled from the pit because there is something for you to do, prepare yourself. The best cures for anything, are fresh air, pure water, little but natural food, and twenty mile fast hikes. Flush your system, tune up the machine, burn energy, then you will eat well, sleep well, and be ready when the time comes.

I too was attacked by an evil spirit a few times (if indeed what you are going through is real). I believe it was real for me. I am re-editing this post because I realize it perhaps sounded too doomsdayerish as someone said below. I don't mean to give that impression, I just happen to believe that spiritual attacks are real and this is based on personal experience. I wanted to rationalize it as simply mental illness but certain aspects of it were entirelyl unexplainable.

I personally wouldn't read anything "super-spiritual" into drug withdrawal.

Incidentally, I suffer from a chronic pain condition, and have had to be prescribed some pretty heavy s**t in my time. From my perspective, benzodiazepine withdrawal is ~nothing~ up against the withdrawal profile of narcotic analgaesics, believe me.

People think they've had it tough with coming off nicotine, benzodiazepines, or some of the weaker opioid compounds; they ain't seen nothing yet, as the saying goes.


If you've seen spirits/demons/pink elephants/Elvis Presley from Benzodiazepine-withdrawal, you've got ~much~ bigger problems than the medication, in my opinion..........

BTW: in case you hadn't realised already, hyperion, this thread is going to be a veritable ~magnet~ for religious doomsdayers .

I am religious but certainly it is not necessary that what was gone through was indeed spiritual. I shared my own story which I believe was spiritual because I would not want to rule it out. Certainly people do have false hallucinations due to sickness in the brain. I just think that the more options you have to consider, the better you can make up your mind about whats going on. It would of course be easy to say it was obviously only becasue of the drugs and sleep deprivation and indeed likely, but if one believes in the spiritual world, it is not impossible that some things are real. Hopefully it is not real.

I have heard that sleep deprivation can cause people to have waking dreams.

You cannot have experienced three months of ~complete~ sleep deprivation; it is an absurd impossibility . Shadexiii has already pointed this out.
